Theory
Patriarchal Ideology is the premise of this ideology that males are superior to females because they are biologically superior. Men are logical and women are emotional. Males use their authority to create good and justice in society. When women are controlled by men, women also contribute to good and justice (Teacher Notes, Patriarchal Ideology). …show more content…

There are many scenes throughout the show that display men as dominance over the women and they must do what he says and wants. There are also portions of women trying to dominate/manipulate over him and show their position. Also, all the examples above display how the show is designed by the creators. The creators help and prompt the women into doing certain things on live T.V. to add to the drama, sex and suspense. If simply everyone was good and there were not fights and drama, this would not intrigue viewers to keep tuning in. The public wants to gossip about what is happening and what will happen next week. The Bachelor continues wrapping in its viewers by the juicy drama to tune in next week for the next fight, the next manipulative move from a woman and the next person to fall in love with Nick. And most importantly, who will be sent

While answers to this important question remain debatable, female stereotypes need redress. In Tyler Perry's House of Payne, season one, episode one and season two, episode two, the role of female characters and the role of male characters highlight stereotypical bias toward females in most television shows.

There are many episodes throughout the show that can relate to this sociological concept. In the episode “The One with the Male Nanny” the sensitive emotions portrayed by the male nanny, Sandy, is turned into a laughable joke and viewed as negative or wrong. Another episode where sex and gender can come into play is “The One with the Metaphorical Tunnel” when Ross desperately tries to get his son to play with toys made for boys rather than girls. These episodes are great examples of how people today view sex and gender in society. Another

The Bachelor: a television series depicting the trials and tribulations of a man trying to find a suitable wife. While some may think of this show as nothing more than trashy reality television, it is actually a manipulative game show advancing the idea of a patriarchal society. For this analysis I look specifically at the episode “Tractor Racing” from the series’ 19th season. The episode “Tractor Race” advances patriarchal ideology by objectifying female bodies by way of parading the female body as a spectacle, portraying the women as compliant or desiring to be objectified, and depicting men as hegemonic over women. If you are unfamiliar with The Bachelor, it is essentially a game show where 30 women battle each other in order to win the

How I Met Your Mother is a sitcom that follows a group of friends, narrated by the main character Ted Mosby, through flashbacks. The show overall can be viewed as problematic in a multitude of ways. While I was watching the show I thought of Allan Johnson’s article Patriarchy, because it was very clear that the patriarchy was upheld. Not only is the overall society within the show patriarchal, the environment around all of the friends also reflects the patriarchy. There are two lead female characters in the show, Lilly and Robin, but they are seen primarily through the male-gaze.

Despite the creator’s of Modern Family effort to portray a progressive view of American families, the show still accentuates outdated female stereotypes and gender roles; reinforcing gender characteristics, patriarchy and hegemonic masculinity. In contrast to its title, Modern Family promotes traditional gender roles and stereotypes of women, which result in the portrayal of an inaccurate image of the female, and weakens the stance of women in today’s U.S. society. Gender stereotypes are prevalent throughout the Modern Family; the women are all portrayed as wives and mothers, promoting a continued male dominant family ideology. Claire and Gloria are throughout the show acting on our society’s “assumptions about women’s ‘appropriate’ roles” (Dow 19).
