At one point, when Katniss was getting like almost her whole body waxed, (right before she met Cinna) I noticed that they were most likely not doing that to the boy tributes. That is a gender stereotype--that girls should have hairless bodies and men shouldn't. The people who were waxing Katniss were saying to her, "Oh, now that your not all hairy you'll be very beautiful", or something like that. That really shows the stereotype that girls need to be hairless to be "beautiful," and I think it was wrong of those people to say that to Katniss.
What do you think?
I agree with you that is a steryo type
ReplyDeletetotally true, now there many gender sterotypes, and girls are suppoed to forfill the sterotypes to become pretty.
ReplyDeleteThat is so true I never put much attention to that but also the fact that she was completely naked and surrounded by others would of been really uncomfortable for me.
ReplyDeleteya i defiantly agree with that, but i think the author didn't write it because of the stereo type. it seemed very subtle and i didn't notice it until you mention the quote, but who really knows?
