Taco Bell

Today I was watching the same Taco Bell commercial I've seen a ton of times. In the commercial a guy asks a girl if she wanted to have dinner sometime, and he seemed very confident about asking her. When the girl gives him her number he immediately calls her cell phone and she turns around to find him there with a new platter from Taco Bell. Then her parents show up suggesting their moving so fast that they are going to get married. After seeing this commercial over and over I realized that it represented gender in a different way that I usually look for. Usually I look for gender stereotypes or discriminations, but this time I saw gender stereotypes but they dealt with manners and how one should act around a woman or man. The guy is very confident and asks the girl out because in society today it is not considered polite for the girl to ask the guy out. Well atleast where I live that is the case. The guy also buys dinner just as he does in the commercial, and the girl is swept of her feet because of all this. I found that this was gender "manner" stereotyping. Although many people in society today live up to this stereotype.
