The portrayal of gender in media and popular culture is a critical area of study within the domain of Gender and Society.

The representation of gender in these domains not only mirrors prevailing social attitudes but also influences and molds individual and collective consciousness regarding gender roles, expectations, identities, and power dynamics. Historically, media and popular culture have predominantly reinforced patriarchal values by presenting stereotypical, binary, and often unequal portrayals of gender.

Women are frequently shown using cleaning products, taking care of children, or focusing on beauty and fashion, reinforcing the traditional feminine ideal.
