Storyboard Text

  • Slide: 1
  • Abstract
  • Hi! I'm Evelyn Zhu. For Challenge Two, I spent one day paying attention to sexist and gendered language in media, conversations, social media, and stories. I recorded examples that I normally would not notice and reflected on the assumptions behind them.
  • I chose a storyboard format because it allowed me to show the examples as I encountered them throughout my day.
  • Slide: 2
  • Morning: Watching TV
  • "All people see when they look at me is blonde hair and big boobs."
  • Why is a woman's appearance noticed before her intelligence?
  • I started noticing how women are often judged by appearance first
  • Slide: 3
  • Late Morning: Hanging Out With Friends
  • "Come on, guys!"
  • Wait...I said "guys" to everyone without thinking
  • I realized some gendered words feel normal because I hear them so often
  • Slide: 4
  • Afternoon: Playground With My Sister
  • "You're a boy. Don't cry. Be brave."
  • Why does being a boy mean he can't cry?
  • Gendered language can limit boys by telling them which emotions are acceptable
  • Slide: 5
  • Later Afternoon: Social Media Comments
  • Would the same behaviour be called "confident" if it came from a man?
  • SOOOO HOT!!
  • BEAUTIFUL
  • She's so bossy. Guys don't like girls who act like that
  • Like it
  • That's cool!!
  • The same behaviour can be judged differently depending on gender
  • Slide: 6
  • Night: Reading Cinderella Story
  • Why are beauty and being chosen so important to her happy ending?
  • "Cinderella was beautiful, gentle, and her happy ending was marrying the prince..."
  • Stories can teach girls what they are supposed to value
  • Slide: 7
  • End Of Day Reflection
  • "you guys"
  • "man up"
  • "boys don't cry"
  • "bossy"
  • "tomboy"
  • "male nurse"
  • By the end of the day, I realized that words do more than describe people. They can reinforce ideas about how women and men are supposed to act.
  • My biggest difficulty was noticing some of these words because I was so used to hearing them in everyday life.
  • Slide: 8
  • Thanks For Following My Day!
  • This challenge helped me understand the Module 4 idea that language reflects cultural assumptions and can reinforce gender stereotypes.
  • I'll definitely pay more attention to the words I use and hear from now on. Thanks for watching my first storyboard work!!
