The stereotyped gender roles, however, are less easily explained.Tom Megginsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10342481605991016501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5879006027819443616.post-25659429173949658132015-01-25T22:43:06.169-05:002015-01-25T22:43:06.169-05:00First things first, I grew up in Quebec as a first...First things first, I grew up in Quebec as a first-generation Canadian to parents for whom French is not their mother tongue. While I do speak French, it is not my mother tongue. So, there's your the context for my comment.<br /><br />Looking at the still frame showing the kiss, I was initially inclined to be a little frustrated by this campaign. But upon seeing the 30-second video, and noting how little emphasis is placed on the kiss relative to the rest of the content, and how far into the video it shows up, I find I have no issue with it. It's pretty reasonable for the university to acknowledge the fact that what students do at university involves meeting people they're attracted to and getting involved in some way or another with those people. It isn't the first or last thing students do, which is accurately reflected.<br /><br />If anything, it's more frustrating to see how little ethnic diversity is portrayed throughout the video, how the gender roles are stereotyped (male hockey player, female fan), how heteronormativity is, well, the norm, and how "perfect" the physical features of the students is, etc.<br /><br />Let's scratch a little deeper than the surface with this one.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
