Tonight I think about what I should speak on for this last blog and many topics have come to my mind but one that piqued my interests for a final blog was Gender communications. I loved this topic the most out of all the topics we have discussed this semester particularly because its one I can connect with on higher levels. Being  A black women their have been many restrictions in my life not only based on my skin color but based on my sex. Women have been restricted in comparison to men for generations and media is one of the ways we have freed ourselves, as well as has played a big role in creating these stereotypes that exists. When we see the images of what a women is it’s usually through the male gaze which means for a long period time we have had false images shown to us of what it truly means to be a women we aren’t all moms, care givers, we don’t all like the color pink, we aren’t submissive, we are independent and can do things on our own without the help of our male counterparts and have proven this time and time again. Especially in regards to black women we aren’t all aggressive and angry yet media still somehow depicts us as such. Sometimes it really gets annoying that these are even still topics of discussions after so many years but the truth is that history does tends to repeat itself if we don’t correct these ideologies. Think about it gender roles have been set into place since the beginnings of time you can see these scenarios in stories we’ve been taught from young like Adam and Eve for example so the question to be asked is will the images we’re shown ever be completely changed and I suppose only the future will be able to tell.
