Hollywood mainly operates in gender binary opposites;
Gender binary is the classification of sex and gender into two distinct and disconnected forms of masculine and feminine. So in terms of Hollywood I do not think the statement is entirely true because men and women often cross the boundaries of what their gender role should stereotypically do, in the Hollywood to be concerned with designer clothes and their appearance which is something a woman would do. Gender binary opposites can describe a social boundary that discourages people from crossing or mixing gender roles, or from creating a third form of gender expression altogether. It can also represent some of the prejudices which stigmatize transgendered people, another thing that is prominent in Hollywood.
