Document Summary
Anth 331 movie questions: codes/ gender displays of femininity: females hands are shown as weak. Soft touching-women are always shown touching themselves so there bodies look delicate. Women are always seen out of breath or holding themselves as to protect themselves. Women never really look like there not fully aware, making like they have no clue whats going on. Women never have to prove anything, in fact most women are taught to remain child like= weak, needing protection. Girls are pretty much the same looking in ads. Also grown women sometimes to baby like things in pics= finger in mouth. Ritualization of subordination : women are shown lying down: 1)this shows them in a defense less position, dependent on binines ( women are defense less). 2) this position sorta of sexual, making them ready and weak. If both men and women are in the picture, the men look tough, while the women look weak.
