Gender Stereotyping & Rose Petal Cottage

The first ad, about the Rose Petal Cottage obviously stereotyped girls, even at a very young age to WANT to do house chores, such as the laundry, cooking, and even taking care of a baby. This is obviously a toy, so this ad is stereotyping young girls and women to have fun while doing these activities, which is really not the case.

If the roles were reversed in the second video, there would be lots of problems. It would be a bunch of guys gawking at a woman taking off her shirt, which would make it instantly derogatory to women, although when women do it to men, it does not seem as bad (whether you want to accept it or not).
