The way that females are represented verbally is in everyday talk. Conversations between two men, two women, or sometime a man and a woman are when the roles are revealed. Often, a conversation in which a woman is not a part will tend to portray certain aspects of the gender. Men can be crude when discussing the other gender, which is problematic because it only serves to reinforce cartain ideas. Women represent themselves verbally too when they talk together. Worrying about looks is one of the more prominant topics, yet that simply makes them believe that they need to be perfect. Sometimes a man will be vulgar or rude to a woman, and that is yet another verbal rhetoric of women. It gives the female a role based upon what she is instead of who she might be.
The way that women are represented visually is much more obvious. The rhetoric is in ads. Whenther on television, billboards, or any other medium, the illusion of the perfect woman stays almost constant, with maybe an eye or hair color being variable. The idea is that a female needs to be like how the ad portrays her. This is evedent in just about every comercial for a care product for men, like shampoo and deoderant. Of course that is also a rhetoric for the male gender, but that is not for me to discuss now.
