"Women Should Have Fairer Skin Than Men

Question

Examlex · Accepted Answer

The Answer is This statement is ideological for the following reasons:
1) It is hegemonic: many people believe that fairer skin is desirable in women, female models are depicted with fairer skin than male models, women perform body work to achieve or preserve fair skin.
2) It naturalizes group power hierarchies: gender difference in appearance helps maintain the idea that men and women are significantly different.
3) It reinforces consumerism: women are under more pressure to maintain appearance of their skin than are men (although the norm of skin care for men is becoming more accepted).
4) The norm is internalized (widely accepted and unquestioned) and rationalized (by association with allegedly natural and desirable difference between genders).
