Week 9 – Wednesday

It’s interesting to look at the dynamic between the “mook” and the “midrif.”  The former tells boys: “break the rules, do whatever pleases you, people will like you if you entertain them.”  While the latter, says to girls: “you will be irrelevant unless you are physically attractive.”  The former seems to stress nonconformity, while the latter re-emphasizes stereotypes that have existed for ages.
