Casualty - Female Representation

  • Woman talks down to man, breaks stereotype of male dominance. 
  • Female paramedic is superior over the male - female is first on the scene.
  • Women are not sexualised. They're seen in doctor's uniform and paramedic uniform, so they're not seen as sexual objects. The doctor and nurses uniforms are blue which is often stereotyped as a male colour, so there's still that element of male dominance.
  • Paramedics are often male-dominated roles - female paramedic differs from this.
  • The head of the hospital is a female so this breaks the stereotype and is another way that females are represented as superior against males.
  • All the nurses and doctors around the patient are female which represents power and intelligence from women.
