language and gender

The presentation of male stereotypes are shown in the text when female character penny says "where do you want me, professor Chadwick?" the subordinate stereotype of the male being in control shows Penny's venerability and power struggle between male and female roles in gender. The representation of occupation has hierarchy between penny being the doctor and Chadwick being the professor, because the professor has a higher role than penny this also ties in with the theory that men have to be the ones in charge and higher up in terms of power over women. this is shown when penny is described as daydreaming about her new boss when the professor was busy at work this supports the stereotype of men working harder than women.
