The purpose of this blog is to have one cohesive summary of the findings of the CAS 100C Social Norms Investigation group. Here we will have video logs of experiments we carry out, summaries and comments we wish to make, examples from the media we've found of typical social norms (or of people breaking them), and anything else we find or do that might be relevant. Happy reading!

Gender Role Reversals Part 3
The third and final video is by Jessie J called "Do It Like a Dude". it has the role reversal in the lyrics, She is obviously saying she can act like a dude and men may be uncomfortable like that but she wants to show that women are just as capable as men. Whether it be like in her video acting like a tough gangster as she says in her lyrics she can " grab her crotch and wear her hat low like you(you=a man)". In her video you will see how she most of the girls except her for some reason actually wear their hats low and yes they grab their crotch throughout the music video.

Aha! This is the third. Ignore my comment on Gender Role Reversals Part 1 -- I see now.
ReplyDeleteDo you think that these are the actions that differentiate between the genders? What do you make of this in terms of recreating, changing, challenging the norms?
