Question

Which of these is an example of how the media can perpetuate common sexual stereotypes?

Answer 1

I think it is D because they always say that men are always more professional than woman. And are always nice

Answer 2

The correct answer is A. An older female is depicted as asexual and uninterested in romance

Explanation:

A stereotype can be defined as a fixed and inaccurate idea about something. In the case of human sexuality, one common stereotype is to believe older people are not interested in sex or romance due to their age. This is not true because older people have sexual desires and needs in the same way younger people do. This stereotype has been perpetuated through media because older females and males are depicted as asexual or uninterested in sexuality. Thus, the option that is an example of media perpetuating sexual stereotypes is A.
