A car for women? Cosmopolitan and SEAT under fire for new vehicle

This article was written by Zahra Jamshed, a CNN worker, and she specifically says on her Twitter that "all views expressed are (her) own". This means that some of her articles can be baised in some way. This article was written on Monday, September 26, 2016. This makes that article current and up to date. Before reading this article I have seen other brands making items specifically for women. This irritates me the fact that a brand feels the need to stereotype women and change us double for the same thing that they are giving to men. I know tooth paste brand have done it and now cars. This article was written towards feminists and uninformed people. This has a positive effect the audience by starting a fire between to women's rights supporters. This article was written to inform civilians and feminists of another brand stereotype women in a product that they release. You can conclude from the article that even though women have come a long way we still have improvement to make. This is similar to Colgate releasing a max white toothpaste for men. It is in a red box, another stereotype, and is very similar to this car for women. Throughout history women have been stereotyped to do the chores and stay at home and you would think that by now those thoughts would be gone however stereotypes continue to thrive.
