It is evident that in society the way media plays an important role in influencing the formation of gender stereotypes in the minds of children and adults. Effortlessly a person might come across a television program or article targeted at a specific race and ethnicity by depicting stereotypes of others. While browsing the Internet, I came across an article on a blog known as Elite Daily. Elite Daily is known as a sexist blog aimed at young men. The site used gender stereotypes to put men on a pedestal. Many of their published articles are based on stereotypes that men love sports and sex, while women love staying at home and cleaning. The article I am referring to in particular is titled “Things Every 20-Year-Old Must Realize,” published in early August 2013. This specific article is identical to many articles on Elite Daily designed to glorify men and degrade women. The article was written to raise awareness among twenty-somethings about how they should approach life. He was unfunny, judgmental and hateful. The article was so banal and misogynistic that its approval surprised many. The article contained quotes like: “Ladies: your teeth are for chewing and we don't like being chewed....if you can get her to bed before the third date, then be bored with her by week 2” (p2) . The article was clearly developed in a stereotypical way by a male to influence the reader's perception. While I was searching for an article similar but different from this one, I came across an article titled "The Top 10 Things That ( apparently) I still have to remind myself at 30" on a blog known as 20 Something's. 20 Nothings is a women's blog designed to uplift women by giving them daily advice on... middle of paper... because it could provide the children stereotyped incorrect information, which could lead to the development of a misconception about their culture and society later in their adulthood. These effects could be reduced by enacting strict laws that prevent the publication of hateful articles, or at least a law that enforces blog and magazine editors to carefully approve only information that is accurate and appropriate for the general public.
