Is an example of the continued existence of contemporary patriarchy. Hillary clinton was perceived as talking too much during the presidential debates when in reality research has shown that. Cleavage is okay because it is sexualized. They constantly need to be saved by a strong male protagonist. When women interact in films, they have a tendency to only talk about men. The pink tax : female beauty products are marked up in price by 15 to 20 cents. In many countries, women are only allowed to wear skirts as part of their uniform; only in very cold conditions are they allowed to wear pants under their skirts.
