Feminism

Judith Butler 


The first example would be Lady Gaga reinforcing the stereotype of how women should be deceived as. The normal women would be looked at as a real life version of a Barbie doll who wear make up and dress up to receive attention. However Lady Gaga while still receiving attention for the opposite reason of dress up as a man on a performance that would be broadcast to the world.



The second example I have used is a traditional way in looking at how a female is shown to be.This is an example of a female being traditionally shown on a make up advert with an agenda to sell make up to women in order for them to improve their appearance. This advert does not challenge Butlers gender theory as we are used to seeing women advertising make up.


This is an advert which reinforces Butlers theory of gender performances as it is an advert you would not be used to associated with men. The advert is trying to sell a mens cream in order for them to look after their skin. This would then challenge Butlers theory as men have now become more conscious about their appearance which you would more associate with females.



This advert is a Nike football boots advert. The advert reinforces Butlers theory of gender performance as, it shows men playing football and how the they will need the perfect football boots in order to play better. This is an advert we would be used to seeing as men are mostly connected to sports therefore seeing many adverts relating to this.



This poster is a poster promoting womens football and their upcoming schedules. This poster is challenges Butlers theory of gender performances. The reasons for this is due to we as the audience are not used to seeing female sports being promoted as, traditionally womens sport is not as popular as mens would be.


This womens beauty magazines reinforces Butlers theory of gender performance. This is a magazine which is targeted at women in order to provide them with tips to improve their appearance. This is shown through the quote on the front cover being"Improve your skin" as it reinforces that women have alot of provide within their appearance. The cover also follows a tradition to have a beautiful women placed on the front page which would make the women want to be like her. 



This magazine front cover challenges Butlers theory of challenges Butlers theory of gender performance. This magazine shows Beckham who was a former football star. A traditional view in looking at a male would be for them to be manly. However this magazine challenges Butlers gender theory would be that men have no also turned their attention more onto their appearance which was previous only seen to be important to women. 



This is a perfume advert for men which reinforces Butlers theory of gender performance. The reason for this would be that we would assume to see a male on an mens perfume advert. However this could also challenge Butlers theory as, this would show that men are now become more in conscious with their appearance as they now want to have the perfect smell.

This game is a nintedodog game which is seen to be alternative view of Butlers theory of gender performance. The reason for this would be that this game was created for females who would look after their virtual pet. However as the game developed they then targeted it at men. This is shown through the colouring they use as traditionally they would use pink which they have now changed to a mutual colouring.

This game reinforces Butlers theory of gender performance this is a game which is targeted at females. The reason for this is due to the colouring of the game as it is pink which is seen to be a female colour. Also the character in the game is a female which tells us the game was created for females.

This is a football game which reinforces Butler theory of gender performance. Butlers theory suggests that men would be more associated which sports therefore, we are then used to seeing football games which are targeted at men. This game also does not include any female characters or any signs of it being made for females aswell as males.

This game challenges Butlers theory of gender performance the reason for this would be that women are not normally seen to be playing sports or playing sports games. Therefore this then challenges this as this game is made and targeted at females. We know this as the game contains female characters therefore is seen as a females game.
