Gender Games

Media images and the gendered representation of chefs

“…The results of this study have provided some support for previous studies that have found that women remain underrepresented in media (e.g. Painter & Ferrucci, 2017), and instead highlight the dominance of men in the chef profession. The results also provide further evidence that, when they do appear in media images, women are often depicted in domestic settings and traditional feminine roles.…”

“…Bartholomew and Garey (1996) suggested that smiling facial expressions create an impression that women gain satisfaction and pride when serving and caring for their families. This corresponds with the argument that women tend to be portrayed in either a sexualised or domestic manner when featured in media (Painter & Ferrucci, 2017). Similarly, Knobloch-Westerwick et al (2014) found that the media portrayal of women largely supports traditional gender stereotypes and predominantly depicts women with more emphasis placed on their physical attractiveness and sexual desirability, or in roles of motherhood and homecare.…”

“…Notably for this article, previous studies have suggested a link between stereotypical representations in media and career choice. For example, suggesting links to career choice and performance, Eagleman and Geurin (2015) identified stereotypical portrayals of male and female gymnasts in the media during the Olympic Games, and Painter and Ferrucci (2017) found differing depictions in the representations of female journalists in television programmes. Both Mavin, Elliott, Stead and Williams (2016) and Wright and Holland (2014) have similarly illustrated how the media portray women's leadership stereotypically.…”

“…Previous research similarly attests to male domination in media publications. Painter and Ferrucci (2017), for instance, argue that women are underrepresented in media and are often depicted in traditional feminine roles when they do appear. Importantly, the media are considered a dominant force in shaping discourse on matters of public importance.…”
