Great lesson today - I'm sorry for inflicting Sweet Home Alabama on you. It had to be done!
Your homework is to read the following articles and apply the theorists Butler and McRobbie to them. Are they a good example of post-feminism? Do they empower women? Is this an example of socially constructed gender roles?
The first article is the Guardian blog on children's toys in Morrison's. Make sure you read the comments too - it'll give you an insight into different points of view.
The second article is also from the Guardian and reports that sexist stereotypes dominate the front pages of Britain's national newspapers. Again, apply our theorists to this and ask whether we are really in an era of post-feminism.
Please post your responses on your MEST3 exam blog and try and get some personal opinion or criticism in there too.
