Queer Theory

Reinforces Traditional Gender Norms & Roles:

The film Grease reinforces gender norms as Sandy changes herself to become more appealing to Danny. Also, Sandy and her friends are objectified many times through the film.

Danny feels like he has to lie about weather he has had sex with her - peer pressure. It is stereotypical to assume the male only wants a women for this reason.


 

Challenges Traditional Gender Norms & Roles:

Ru Paul's Drag Race is an example of a show that challenges gender norms as it celebrates being yourself.

On the show, men dress up in drag and walk the runway. Gender norms are that women usually wear makeup and dresses and this show challenges this greatly.

Furthermore, this challenges the gender norm of men lusting after women as the LGBTQ+ is widely celebrated in the show.
