Gender And Media

[VidelCoolGirl]

I'm currently in a Gender and Media class, and as much as I LOVE men-hater radical feminists, the class is pretty interesting. Thing is, we have to produce a video on how WE personally view gender, and how it effects us. The video has to be 60 seconds long, and can have whatever in it.

Since I am an African-American female, Tomboyish on top of that, you think I have a lot of options. Which I do I suppose, but this was just a thread asking if there are any ideas of what I could do the video on, and how to get certain ideas across. In 60 seconds no less.

[Ketaru]

Well, before anybody can answer what you could put in your video to represent your ideas, what are you ideas, first of all?

[VidelCoolGirl]

Well, there are a lot of pretty stereotypical ones. Having to deal with how black women are portrayed in the media, being a woman and dealing with things like body image, how I'm supposed to act, ect. I do feel as if women are controlled by the media (although we do it to ourselves a lot), black people make fools of themselves on TV, and that there are more than the traditional "two" genders.

I'm pretty liberal, and from the way I act, I'm completely everything thats NOT how a woman is supposed to act. A black one nonetheless.

[final flash]

talk about how the old days were the best when women were housewives and men did the work and were in charge, your feminist class mates will love that

N.B I am not sexist before people start going on, they are mot MY views.

My views are that things are perfectly fine the way they are

[Old Ape Face]

A straight foreword Montage of where you live might work. My instructor said that most videos make a good representation if you film familiar places around your town and add some music to it.

as a personal narrative go around and interview what people think.

[The Million Dollar Prons]

My video would be about how LAME so called "men," are portrayed in the media. It's impossible to turn on TV and see a man who's balls aren't in his woman's purse.

Except Doctor House.

This goes double for any of the Joss Whedon dreck that's out there.

Also, I know it doesn't count as he's not on modern television, but Captain Kirk is still the man.

[Solid_Snake]

Feminazis suck.

[Haro!]

i didn't bother reading much of the thread but here goes: Videl you should make a rap video in which you gyrate to said music, wearing close to nothing.

Yes. YES. That's exactly what I'll do. THANK you Haro.

[Rurouni Saiyan]

And me being a black guy, I could be in the foreground with a Cadillac Escalade with a platinum grill with a bottle of champagne, dousing you with the contents.

"Cadillac rims, cadillac truck, come in the back for a Cadillac ---- ( you get the picture :P)

[Tenou]

Yes. YES. That's exactly what I'll do. THANK you Haro.

Don't forget to post it here so that your fellow AN members can oggle... I mean critique, critique your video.

A Cadillac duck?

You know, that's actually brilliant. The underlying message behind what's portrayed goes right along with today's media. Couldn't have made a better suggestion.

ANYthing for you Tenou.

[CrossboneGundam]

I was going to say it should be 60 seconds of Videl making out with another girl, but that's good, too.

[Haro!]

Oh yes that would be wonderful. Perhaps at the end of the video. See it'll be like a twist, different from what the viewer is expecting.

[Rurouni Saiyan]

A Cadillac duck?

Hahaha. Nice.

C'mon....replace d with the letter that comes after e.

[Tenou]

ANYthing for you Tenou.Really? ;) I feel special. :)

Ok, ok, I will - solely in the interest of aiding Videl in her scholarly efforts, mind - volunteer to make out with her on video.

[Haro!]

Nice. See it'll be artsy. And I think i should direct.

[VidelCoolGirl]

:lol: Awesome. Just make sure you get to Olympia by tomorrow, about 5pm or so. We can make out, and then do the video.

[Tenou]

Damn it, I knew waiting to get my passport would come back to bite me in the ***.

[VidelCoolGirl]

As funny as it sounds, if I DID do a movie like that, it would fo over great. One of the perks of going to a Liberal Arts School I guess.

[Haro!]

I can make it to Olympia by 5pm. Do we get to make out? Just to test out ummm you know um who to pair you with.

[VidelCoolGirl]

Right. Well, you can come over if you want. Who's gonna tape though?

[Haro!]

Hmm one of your friends I guess. Oh and you'd have to play Shine we Are in the background.

Seriously though I think the idea for the video is pretty damned good, and you should do it.

[CrossboneGundam]

Right. Well, you can come over if you want. Who's gonna tape though?

I can hold a camera one-handed. *Rimshot*

[VidelCoolGirl]

Actually, since I am a black female, I was going to have a bunch of random videos of "black stereotypes" from TV, and then finish with me saying "That's how I supposed to act? Man, that **** be whack..."

You should end on a high note, take a swig from a bottle of malt liquor wrapped in a crumpled paper bag. :lol:

I would pay money to see that.

House is my role model.

[Midoriko87]

So, how YOU personally view gender? Well, seeing as how I am your hero (Right?!!), I have no qualms about imposing my sexist beliefs onto you.

Does it have to be live action? Well, if not, you can make a collage or whatever of some anime scenes or somethin' in which the Animu guys are doing that Punchy-fainty thing to the Anichicks... or somethin' along those lines. Oh! I just watched that Ikki Tousen show (piece of crap, it is), and whenever there was a chick fighting, her shirt would be ripped right down the middle... you know, in-between the flapjacks. And, they always get the panty shots. Hmm, or maybe you could even get some pictures of those chicks from that Eiken show... >_< Dammit!! I hate that show!! :lol:

Seriously, I'm not too creative, and I don't know how you feel about women (you hate them right?!!). And, I don't have just one fixed view of women. There are some real salty female dogs approximately 9" inches at the withers out there, and then there are some like my mom. And, Yours Truly, of course. Did I mention how Great I am? :lol: But, I think you should do the anime collage thingy (if that's an option), 'cause you're just the biggest (um, not literally...maybe) female Animu geek out there (there being Washington... Haha, you live in Washington!! :P ). I guess you don't have to use scenes of chicks with ZZZ cups getting the crap smacked out of them... I mean, you DON'T have to be cool. Dammnit, Videl, that's why you weren't allowed into my Dino Gang!! This is ridiculous. You reach in there, and you pull them Ovaries down and out. Then, you'll truly be a "Cool Girl." Hmm, maybe not a cool "girl," per se, but still pretty cool... in a grotesque kinda way. :thumbsup:

[Solid_Snake]

I'm not a sexist or anything, but I think some Women get offended at media too easily.

They don't want to be treated differently than Men, yet they complain if certian things happen' to certain Females in some types of Media.

If anyone of you read "The Walking Dead." letter culums you will see many enraged females over a few lines of dialogue. And some other things I won't get into.

[VidelCoolGirl]

OR, I could take scenes from Death Proof, and show that with anime scenes. Have that black woman from Project A-ko or something!

Man, my friends were so wasted, and when I got back from the movie had to take care of them. I hope it was because she was drunk though. She had her hands all over the prize. (Prize being me.) I should do something on that.

[KatayokuのTenshi]

Except Doctor House.

Hugh Laurie FTW. ^_^

Then the screen fades to black and text appears reading:
The irony . . .
. . . did you get it? :P

(Prize being me.)

What sort of contest do you have to enter to win a Videl? :P

[Old Ape Face]

you could always throw in a little humor, turn your Tomboy into a Saturday Night Live skit present a fake product (possibly something sexual) then add a rap song at the end where your dancing 95% nude.

[Illusions-chan]

Well personally, I think women today are stupid and I feel bad for men cause they have to deal with them.....

So I think you should really let loose at media today. I like Haro's idea, but I think it'd be funnier if you did in the style that Pink did her video for stupid girls. Go ahead and attack media, especially women.

No offense Feminists, (well, actaully yes, I do mean offense) but if you're going ***** and whine about how men are treating you unfairly, then why don't you first start with the women who let men treat them that way? Like all the chicks in the videos wearing nothing but a g-string?

Just a suggestion, you know?

The world needs more women like you.

[Haro!]

I'm sorry but i think video hos in nothing but g-strings deserve all the respect they can get.

I'll agree to that. Women also perpetrate alot of disrespect to eachother, so it's not always the fault of men.

Yeah, it's not like women have been systematically and socio-economically oppressed by male-dominated cultures for thousands of years or anything! If anything, women need to be punished for being raped and things like that. It's totally the woman's fault if she gets raped, even if she's a nun.

And those black people who were enslaved, they wouldn't have been enslaved if they weren't always letting rival african tribes attack their villages and sell them to white slave traders! It's their own fault they weren't smart or strong enough to fight back, right, Illusions-chan?

Erm, no.

Men have nothing to do with the treatment of the women in these videos. If anything, the women should have the full brunt of the criticism as they themselves are doing the acts of dancing around on video with virtually nothing on.

Reminds me of the case of Nelly being protested at Spellman College in Atlanta (a black all female college) for disrespecting black women. First off, no one put a gun to any of these women's heads and forced them to do the things that they do on video. So the onus is on the females to shape up.

You just repeated the statement of the person whom you're quoting.

THANK YOU! I was getting a little annoyed reading this and was getting ready to smack a couple people down. Now the urge has subsided, and I can rest easy in the knowledge that not everyone is completely ignorant to the socio-economic developments that lead groups, no matter which group you're speaking of, to the position they are currently in.

I quoted Illusions-chan because of milder things than that I think. But I also see your point, but now I see your point and feel I've made an *** of myself....

:lol: That's correct on so many levels...

[VidelCoolGirl]

I could make a parody...

"What kind of tree would you be?"

"A WEEPING WILLOW...."

End of movie.
