Description:
|
Research on representation of gender in 20th century media suggests that traditional attitudes towards gender , which call for aggressive , dominant male behavior and passive , submissive female behavior , have been propagated through negative framing of characters who challenge those attitudes . Traditional attitudes have been especially prominent in fantasy tales , though some research suggests that contemporary (third -wave feminist era ) fantasy does support alternative views . A quantitative study of fantasy films of the era reveals that characters who challenged tradition were still more likely to be framed negatively than those who did not . Qualitative analysis was then used to determine the reasons for , and the significance of this continued correlation . |
