Judith Butler :

“our gender identities are not fixed objects; they are constituted as a result of our behaviors”

“our gendered identities are not naturally given but constructed through repetition and ritual.” 

“Society also presents male/female relationships as the norm”

“Our bodies or sex do not define our gendered identities” 

“rituals and performative actions constantly reinforce our identities: the act of wearing makeup”

David Gauntlet :

“Gender is socially constructed”

“Audiences realise they can change their identities”

“media manufacturers narrow interpretations of certain roles or lifestyles”

“the characters we watch in television shows or on online games offer us examples of how we can transfigure ourselves”
