- Research Angelina Jolie, dominance as a high class, well known famous actress, talk about higher class, being more watched and favoured by audience. talk about success of SALT and how angleina was chosen rather than (man) to play main role in this film. Suited her well, personally find it successful. Hegemonic and Marxist theory about being in higher status to provoke success and us as followers. We always go for the movies which represent the famous, biggest, successful stars.
-watch MILLION DOLAR BABY
- Hilary Swank her success and films compared to angelina jolie. Her playing a role of boy in 'boys don't cry' positive or negative representation?.. make us feel she is more capable of playing this kind of role..
Talk about her not being believed as successful, and her determination and hard working leading to big success. Coaches view of girl fighter, as a girl not being able to do anything, weak and fragile - goes with the typical stereotype of women (housewife, find theory).
Women face prejudice in the martial arts in many forms. The most easily recognizable of these is the "bully." The bully is the aggressive male or female who does not feel that women belong in the martial arts or feels they have something to prove, respectively. Their beliefs are demonstrated by their behaviors: snide comments, demeaning remarks and physical abuse. These men want the women gone from the training hall and they will do what they think is normal to get rid of the women. These bullying behaviors can even be observed in tournament judges, who will occasionally dismiss female athletes, refuse to allow them to compete against males or continually ignore the woman. ("Training Women in the Martial Arts," 60-61).

It is this reality that women will continue to see. Martial arts are good for self defense, but the most powerful thing women can learn to do from the martial arts is empower themselves. Sure - if every woman in the world stopped practicing the martial arts today, it would not destroy society. It might even be relatively unnoticed. But, by discouraging martial arts, we are discouraging something much more important. We are telling women through social cues that it is not okay to stand up for your self. It is not okay to be independent from men. We are telling women it is okay for men to abuse them, rape them and subjugate their wills. (Wiley, 73).
