Selfe's essay

the section of Selfe's essay that my group was assigned revolves around the central idea that even though our society is trying to move away from gender roles technology is in fact hindering that progression. Selfe explains this by showing us images of women being used as the
"beauty" and the "seductress" which are both traditionally defined roles for women. Selfe also explains that it its not only women who are targeted by these defined roles but men as well. Men are tagged with the labels of biker, nerds and sex maniacs. Selfe is under the impression that it is going to be very hard for our culture to break away from gender roles.
