Preferred term

gender roles on television  

Definition

  • During the past 50 years, there have been significant changes in the roles of men and women in society, as well as in our sources of information and entertainment. Although there have been some changes in the media portrayal of gender roles, television's images of sex roles have not kept pace with the changes in the roles, status, and aspirations of men and women.
