The representation of men and women can never illustrate the truth;

The representation of men and women can never illustrate the truth;
I believe that this statement is true, but before discussing this I want to look into what other people recognise as men and women stereotypes. The media can often give women certain stereotypes- the super-mum, the sex kitten, the nasty corporate climber. Whatever the role, television, film and popular magazines are full of images of women and girls who are typically thin, beautiful who can be “angels” or “whores”. But in reality we know that these categories can never fit every woman because they are all so different, they can be different aspects from each group that can make up a woman, but you will rarely find a “super-mum” that does nothing except be a “super-mum” because if human characteristics. There are also many stereotypes for men the most popular stereotypes of male characters as the Joker, the Jock, the Strong Silent Type, the Big Shot and the Action Hero. We also know that this is not a true representation because men can also be varied.
