Research and Planning - Feminism.

Feminism challenges the power structures and the roles and perspectives of women. It is particularly interested in the media and the dominant gender roles. Culture determines what we think are the typical stereotypes of males + females and the media influences culture.

Stereotypes of men and women are fed to people through the media and things that we consume. In general men still get paid more than e, as power is still at the heart of it associated with men, the stereotypes have changed slightly as feminists have tried challenging them.
