Cheris Kramare says that language is a Man-made construction and that womens words are discounted in our society making women a muted group. She also found that women were notable mostly by presence. Just like in the example of cartoons where only 20 of the 54 have females and only 10 of those women speak. Also in those cartoons women were seen as very wishy-washy compared to the males who were forceful in their speech and the words they used towards females were flowery and filled with adjectives like nice and pretty.

An example of this can be seen in the cartoon Tom and Jerry. We know there is a woman character in it but all we ever see is her legs and she rarely speaks. We don’t see her face at any point.
