LOST

During the season premiere of LOST, I noticed one scene included indirect stereotypes of males and females. The scene took place on the island where Rose and her husband Bernard were trying to start a fire. They did not have any lighters or matches, all they had were sticks. Bernard repeatedly tried to start the fire by rubbing two small sticks together. Even though they both had been delegated to start the fire, Rose only sat there watching Bernard. She then began yelling at him for not doing it right. She never once tried to light it herself. Bernard then began yelling back at her saying that he knew exactly what he was doing. After several minutes went by, Bernard finally got a spark and tries to blow on it to get it going. It quickly went out and Rose began yelling at him again. One stereotype that I noticed was that females only nag and complain without even trying to solve the problem. Rose never once tried to help because she was too busy yelling at her husband telling him what he did wrong. Another stereotype was that males think they are doing everything right; even if they have no idea how to do it. Bernard could have easily asked another person on the island for help, but instead he consistently said he could do it. He never did get the fire to start!
