Dig a little for this one and give us an unexpected example! Pictures (one of each gender) from a department stores catalog showing childrens clothes dumbing down/sexing up girls.

Why are these kinds of articles rarer in mens magazines than in womens magazines?

What is the significance of this regarding gender? A picture of heterosexual males displaying physical affection towards each other. Why is it only acceptable for male athletes to be doing this? Lyrics to a country-western song which describes nontraditional sex roles. Why has country-western music portrayed traditional sex roles for so long? How is this image changing? A MALE influencer on TikTok or Instagram or YouTube that is using his “sexiness” to hook you in! Why do we see so many more females that present this way? A strong and brave female main character in a video game that doesn’t have huge breasts. Why is this always a focal point in some many games even when statistics relay in 2020 that women accounted for nearly 41 percent of all gamers in the United States? A heterosexual male that isn’t afraid to wear clothes that are considered ‘feminine’. Do not use Prince or Harry Styles! Women have been wearing ‘men’s’ clothes forever Why don’t straight men wear more gender-bending clothing? Add another sexist item you come across and justify why you picked it!
