Women in the 1950's

 Traditional stereotypes of women in advertisements

Women were always presented as the housewife in advertisements and were mostly used in cleaning products, childcare products and kitchen products. They would be shown to be in the kitchen cleaning or caring for the man or children. Also being shown to be way inferior to men. For example in a ketchup advert its slogan is 'You mean a women can open it'. Showing that usually a man would have to open bottles for women.

Representation of Gender in 'The Man' and 'Riptide'

A theme of the Riptide music video is abusing women and is referenced throughout the video, it is not shown to be a man abusing the woman but is referenced through intertextuality. The main example of this in the video is the stage girl who progressively gets more beaten up throughout the video like getting a black eye and smudged lipstick on her face which is shown in a close up shot of her face each time, also her facial expressions get worse and more depressed so her first appearance she looked clean, confident and beautiful then the second appearance she looked more beaten down and sad but still had a little confidence also her lipstick was smudged then in the third appearance she looks scared with all her makeup smudged and messed up then in the last appearance she looks sad with her makeup still smudged.
