How do the Male Characters in Friends deviate from our typical views of Men.
How do the Male Characters in Friends deviate from our typical views of Men The male characters in Friends are very adverse in comparison to the general stereotypical view of a male. Firstly within the sitcom there is no dominant male, it would be expected that one male would control the situations but none of them seem to do this. Secondly they are very submissive when it comes to interacting with the female's they often attempt to be assertive but are unsuccessful due to their weak personalities. Ross is a hard character to analyze, he appears the weakest at times, due to his emotional behaviour and how he falls for any woman immediately. Joey is a foolish character and anything but masculine, he thinks he is a ladies man but most women find him hilarious due to his lack of intelligence and unjustified self confidence. Chandler is argueably the most feminine, his sexuality is often questionable, and he is weak in arguements also. The surprising thing is not that the women are more masculine than the male characters but that the male characters are far more feminine. For example Ross chased his girlfriend halfway around the world when he could have just phoned her, this seems more like something a woman would do. The males as a group behave like women, they spend alot of time together and have chats about things which is more expected of a
I am the head leader of the Young Women's Association and I am writing to you to express my views on which sex, male or female, is the strongest sex. As a young woman I feel it is my role to try and justify why I think women are stronger than men.
54 Ivory rd Hackney HA34 9yt 5/9/2007 0 Downing street Westminster London LO4 3LS Dear Mr Blair, I am the head leader of the Young Women's Association and I am writing to you to express my views on which sex, male or female, is the strongest sex. As a young woman I feel it is my role to try and justify why I think women are stronger than men. You might argue that if women are the stronger sex how come men have managed to get total dominance over the world and are the main bread winner in most families nevertheless it has not always been like this. In ancient societies like for example , the Egyptians and Babylon, women held high office as queens or priestesses. Studies show that women have a wider arc of vision therefore are safer . In 1997 a shocking 4,132 child pedestrians were either killed or injured in road accidents. 2,640 of these were boys and only 1,492 were girls. This clearly shows that boys are more in danger and do not take enough care on roads. However the male brain is slightly larger than a female's brain but research has shown that the brain might be smaller but it has no significance as women are smarter. A girl's brain develops faster meaning they begin to speak earlier and better , read earlier and learn foreign languages quicker. Men also carry out a astonishing 96% of burglaries, 88% of murders and 90% of the people in prison are men.
The Changing Role & Status of Women
The Changing Role & Status of Women Question 1 - Describe the employment opportunities of women in Britain in 1914 at the outbreak of war. At the outbreak of WWI, women's working opportunities were limited. Fewer than 5.9 million women out of a population of 23.7 million females were employed in working conditions. The most common form of employment for a woman was as a domestic servant - around 1.5 million women worked in this area. Around 900,000 women worked in the textiles industry, and another 500,000 in the 'sweated trades'. This was the term for areas of employment involving hard, long hours of work and unsanitary conditions. Women were usually paid around two thirds of a man's average wage - often less than this. They were rarely given promotion above their male co-workers. Most employed women were not given respect and were, for the most part, treated unequally. It was difficult for women to rise above the blatant sexism in the previous all-male environment of a workplace when the few opportunities that they had were those of a low station (listed above). Domestic service was attractive to many young girls, as they left school when they were twelve years old. They lived in the house in which they were employed, in the attics, and worked many hours a day as chambermaids, cleaners or cooks. Domestic servants had very low pay, often between £5 and £10 per year. They
