We have seen men's and women's clothing choices change over time. I have seen women dress more masculine and have been told that's not how a lady would dress or that it's not lady-like. In the world, males are sent as if they dress as a woman. They are less of a man and they don't depict what a man is. We have seen men in films dress up and play women roles, we also seen women dress up as men in film roles. For instance, in the film, the Wayans brothers started in the movie “ White Chicks ’ where they played two FBI agents who go deep undercover and pose as two white girls. This shows how men in the film world have changed the way movies are played. The style of clothing that was presented in the movie was a comma look in fashion back in “2004’’. Also in the movie “ Silence of the Lambs ” Jodie Foster plays the FBI in training, working on an FBI case. I am interested in this topic because men are treated better than women in society. I got this from my “modern popular culture” class, I'm learning new things in this class. It opened up my eyes and brain to get deep into my writing. As a society, we have grown to Accept one another as a whole but there is still some work we have to do when it comes to being open-minded about the LGBTQ family. Over the years, the gender rules have changed such as what a man is but if your gay or trans or a Cross-Dresser that makes u less than men. If you're a female you can't dress in short dresses, short skirts, wear boy clothes, or having colored hair, which makes you seem not lady-like. As the years go on we chance and get better step by step. Marcus Loring-Picard RE: Gender/Sexuality Thread--Marcus Loring-Picard COLLAPSE In my personal experiences if feel that popular culture has helped pushed the issues of gender and sexuality forward into a larger focus and largely feel that has helped foster understanding among a large portion of the population. Shows like Ellen and Will and Grace helped show people that homosexuals are normal people with the same everyday problems that everyone else faces. When movies were first introduced The Production Code of 1934 formalized the voluntary exclusion of all gay and lesbian characters from Hollywood films
