bloggers! Today I must talk about the end of gender, commenting video of this link:
http://www.ted.com/talks/johanna_blakley_social_media_and_the_end_of_gender#t-486930
This link tell that nowadays the gender is not useful to the social media because is a very restrictive label, and today the people escape of categories demographic box.
I think that is very important understand the category “gender” like a social constructions. That is, the gender is a product of the culture and so that`s why have an ideology and is possible to deconstruct it.

Is
really that nowadays the gender is different to in the old time, but is really
too that in this time exist categories of gender that the society reproduce. That
is obviously in the market, but all the time we are reproducing these
categories: with clothes, language, our movements… all the time! Including the
space is order to maintain these categories.
Sometimes
we criticize other people (models, soccer players, etc.) because they wear or
behave “like a girl”, for example. But we also wear and behave using the gender
categories. We reproduce this restrictive label. All of us tell “gay” when a
man behaves “like a girl”, and criticize when a women does not shave her leg. All
these form of act are the application to gender categories, and that is why I
think that the change is deeper that modify the publicity.
That
is why I think that the exposition of the women of video is not useful: this
only serves to market and bigger business… and these companies only going to
use this information to change the mechanism to offer their products, and not
to recognize and eliminate the oppression of the gender categories.

Seek to change the stereotypes to sell more, hopefully not prove them
ReplyDeleteI think that stereotypes used to social media don't represent the singular persons
ReplyDeleteWow! My thinking is very similar to the yours. I think that all is market-based.
