Cleaning, Cooking, and Drinking Beer

Isn't it funny how male/female stereotypes still exist in our society. Sure, I know there are several men who believe women aren't or shouldn't be equal, but have you realized just how many stereotypes are in our media? In my advanced composition class we were asked to take a different look at advertisements. Since I have done so, I have really realized just how the media tries to play to a certain audience. It is frustrating. Have you ever noticed that beer commercials usually show men drinking and having a good time while a woman works? Have you noticed how sometimes men are the only ones who can drive a truck? On the other hand, cleaning supplies, raising a child, and cooking are all things that only women do. Do you think it is accurate that the woman's place in society should still be the homemaker that cleans, cooks, takes care of the kids, and has no time to sit around, have a beer, and watch a football game? I know it's not a typical thought of women sitting around watching football drinking beer, but it isn't THAT unusual.
