You should find an still media image to analyze. You will be looking at how gender stereotypes are propagated in media, but the image does not have to be an extreme example. In your regular daily media consumption, find something you are exposed to on a regular basis. This could be an ad that pops up in a Google search, a magazine ad, or anything you find in your life.
Once you find your ad, you should write your post doing a gender-based analysis of what the image is portraying. You can focus on men or women, but the film will give you a lens to think about how the ad is constructed. In the above ad, for instance, Under Armour is using this image of a female athlete who is wearing pink shorts. The background is a body of water, perhaps in a city. The text proclaims "I Will," which is the tag line for this campaign. "What's Beautiful" is not a question but a statement. This is what is beautiful: "Becoming stronger than your strongest excuse." What does all of these layers of image and text mean? You should take your image apart and explain how it works to form meaning.
