- RHETORIC G&S MAIN BLOG
- ABOUTI own and manage the gendersex.net domain name and use it for two main purposes: to provide general resources on the study of gender and sexuality and to provide specific resources for my WRTG 3020 classes at CU Boulder, which focus on the topic of “The Rhetoric of Gender and Sexuality.” You can read more about these two purposes below.

Image definition of “girl” on Google

I was interested to see what the first picture would be when I typed in the word “girl” into Google. As it was, the first image that came up was not of a girl at all but rather the show Gossip Girl, and its main characters. The “girls” in the show are hardly girls at all in this ad, and while beign scantly clothed, they are also depicted as all being in bed together. I expected to have an image of a young girl come up, or perhaps a picture of girls playing but rather I got a picture that most of us have in our minds as a result of the media; sexy, lustful women.

The easy bake oven has been one of the biggest gender specific toys to hit the markets. Since its release in 1963, the easy bake oven has been teaching young women that their interests should be focused in cooking, and therefore ensures that they know their place as homemakers.
