Video 1: Gendered Language Creates Stereotypes for Boys, Too
Description: A small child (presumably a boy) narrates this video emphasizing how gendered language effects the mentality of young boys as they develop. The video uses gender descriptive words to shed light on how stereotypes negatively affect boys and men.

Video 2: Body Language Men Use to Show Love
Description: This video dissects how men (stereotypically) use nonverbal language to engage females in romantic relationships. The video was presumably created to assist women in detecting whether a man is making romantic overtures; however, it should be noted that men do not all respond in the same manner. Aspects of this video seem to reinforce rape culture and toxic masculinity.

Video 3: Gender Neutral Pronouns: They’re Here, Get Used to Them
Description: Breaking down gendered words, Tom Scott attempts to show the association between masculine and feminine terms in various languages and the subconscious effect of gendered words on individual gender perceptions.

Video 4: Mansplaining: The Science
Description: While the term “mansplaining” may be new, the concept is not. This video from Upworthy uses evidence from various studies to explain how and why men are more likely than women to speak in various settings. The video also references paralanguage, such as interruptions.
