In 750-1000 words, write an essay in which you select one contemporary artifact (news article, magazine article, advertisement, etc.) that perpetuates a harmful gender stereotype, and articulate both how the stereotype is presented and why the stereotype is harmful. Remember: stereotypes don’t exist in a vacuum—explain the historical and social context that the stereotype is drawing from, in addition to the current climate which still allows the stereotype to be made.
Provide supportive evidence from your artifact, evidence from either Article: ("Bad Femenist" by Roxane Gay, or "Why Nice guys finish Last" by Julia Serano) and from any other credible source you deem necessary to the argument.
