The movie “She’s The Man” me out 2006, a very ntroversial time for the reprentatn of homosexualy movi that were nsumed by a large dience. Like any social movement, the gay rights movement evolved stag, and society n only adapt to new ncepts so fast.
While “She’s The Man” appears to not fold to the classic stcture of a “chick flick”, the movie ntas the typil genr stereotyp and homophobic nstcts that are perpetuated all forms of popular culture. Vla’s bt iend, Pl, exemplifi the stereotyp that surround homosexuals, particularly mal. “The notn that gay dividuals posss characteristics that vlate tradnal genr rol n be traced back at least to Frd’s “genr versn theory”, acrdg to which gay men are more siar to heterosexual femal than they are to heterosexual mal, whereas lbians are more siar to heterosexual mal than to heterosexual femal” (Blashhill, Powlishta 2009).
When readg a plot summary of the movie, Pl is scribed as Vla’s “gay bt iend”, but never the film is Pl’s sexual preference disclosed, nor is he seen participatg a homosexual relatnship.
