Love and Basketball

I viewed love and basketball recently and ive noticed alot of gender identity issues in it. Monica ( played by sanaa lathan) is critized by her mother for being tomboyish. Her mother was the epidemy of feminitiy, she was a housewife and very girly in nature. Instead of caring for Monica for who she is, a female that is tomboyish, she tried in everyway to get her to change her personality or style.

Meet the Kardashians

I was watching the Kardashians and i notcied that the girls have alot of expectations. They all suppose to have something going for themselves and they shouldn't be in trouble, however, Khloe seems to find herself in trouble lately. After getting her DUI, she never showed up to any of the meetings required and ended up going to jail. When she got released because the jail was too full, her family celebrated by taking her drinking.It seems as though girls with money like her is not expected to be perfect, therefore, she gets off easy when she gets in trouble.

First 48 hours

I was watching The first 48 hours the other day, and i came across an example of femininity. The woman was accused of murdering her boyfriend because she was found in the bathroom after he was discovered. Since she had prior offenses to the law and she was a crack head, they automatically assumed that she killed him for money. Set up a robbery that went wrong. If it was a man it would be a different motive for the killing of the other. People automatically assume that since she was a female, she was needy. I found that fact interesting because when you first look at it, you do not get that impression.
