Identify ways in which objectification is present in your life. (note this could be how you experience or see yourself exhibiting behavior to others)
How do you feel about resignification? Give an example of how you see this in pop culture (television, movies, film)
After reading the chapters 4 and 5: Gendered/Sexed bodies and language: Visit a store with a large toy department (target, Walmart) and/or do an analysis of online shopping marketing and product packaging. How do you see these ideas of gendered bodies on the shelves in toys marketed to boys/girls, what else do you see? Look at colors used, activities encouraged, language chosen, etc. (you may use material from chapters two and three to do this analysis as well!) Are there any phrases or words that could be sexist? What about in the way in which the toys will be used for play, could they lead to sexist behaviors or roles?
