While on a quick run to the store, I noticed these magazines on a stand. Funny, to label women.
The social construction of gender is all around us, noticing this was somewhat eye opening for me. The stand that is photographed is under the label of "Women" as if this is what women are expected to look like and have interests in. There are no sports magazines is this section as if a lady's only interest are what is connected to the kitchen as well as home decor. A women's health is constructed as a slender woman, instead of showing other types of healthy bodies. How society generalizes gender is fully demonstrated in this picture.
