Gender in horror films
Okay, kiddo, so you know how some scary movies have people, usually girls or women, running and screaming from creepy monsters or killers? Well, those movies can sometimes treat boys and girls or men and women differently, based on their gender.
For example, boys or men in horror movies are often seen as brave and strong, while girls or women may be portrayed as helpless and in need of rescuing. This can create a stereotype that says boys are tough and girls are weak, even though that's not really true in real life.
Also, sometimes scary movies show a lot of violence, especially towards girls or women. This can be really scary and make people think that girls or women are always in danger or that violence is okay as long as it only happens to them, which is definitely not true either.
So, it's important to remember that scary movies are just pretend and don't always show things the way they really are. We should treat all people, regardless of their gender, with respect and kindness, and remember that everyone can be brave and strong when they need to be.
