You may be thinking after all this “But being portrayed as a maid or a housewife isn’t a harmful stereotype like being portrayed as a criminal, so how exactly does is hurt Hispanic women?”. Well according to a poll done by the National Hispanic Media Coalition that included 900 non-Hispanic respondents most stereotypes that people believed to be true about Hispanics reflected the images, characters, and stories they commonly encountered in new, television, film, and radio programming. Non-hispanics also reported seeing Hispanics in stereotypically negative or subordinate roles (such as gardeners or maids) most often in television and film, and even those exposed to positive opinions about Hispanics had less favorable opinions when exposed to

    There are a lot of controversies when it comes to the topic of immigration. Specifically illegal immigration. However, I rarely ever hear anyone talk about the different treatment certain ethnic groups get compared to others. For instance, Latin American immigrants are far more discriminated against in comparison to any other immigrant group. When it comes to Latino Immigrants, they are often considered unwanted and are seen as a threat to American society, which leads to discrimination and negative treatment.

  • Traditional Gender Roles In Hispanic Culture

    For my project I have decided to incorporate my topic of traditional gender roles in an event the Hispanic Honor Society will host where we will show “La Mission” which is a movie that portrays all the known stereotypes and traditional norms such as sexuality associated with the low-rider Hispanic Culture in the Mission district of San Francisco. After the movie, we will have a panel discussing how the Hispanic culture sees sexuality and how traditional gender roles affect their views. My goal for this event is to raise awareness for how the Hispanic culture glorifies gender roles based on norms set by society over time. I want those who attend the event to realize the catastrophic outcomes that traditional gender roles can have in families,

Beginning in my own home, my father expects my mother to cook, clean, and organize his belongings. As a Hispanic female, I have been surrounded by this mentality. In Latin American countries the corresponding roles of women are justified by the term machismo.

  • Gender Stereotypes

    In the movie Conan The Destroyer the women were portrayed a lot better than I expected them to be given the readings we were assigned in class. Both the book and movie focused a great deal on the female characters, as they initiated and presented the quest, or lead the men along for a good portion of the quest. With that said the women were also very helpless at times, specifically Princess Jehnna. The very first scene of the movie has Queen Taramis on horseback with her army and she was extremely powerful looking. The directors and writers clearly establish Queen Taramis as a figure of strength, inspiration and leadership with this opening scene.

    In the movie “Conan the Destroyer,” two of the main female characters from Howard’s fantasy stories appear; Zula, the bold female warrior, and Jehnna, the innocent victim. Zula is portrayed as a non-stereotypical woman in the film; independent, strong-willed and capable. In contrast, Jehnna plays a beautiful yet stereotypically feeble and helpless young maiden.

Even in doing so, the producers of this movie allow the story to stay true to its original genre, as Jehnna still plays the role of a weak and princess-like female protagonist who has a unique power that allows her to lead the group of adventurers
