Final Paper Name – Muhammad Umair Khatri Student Number – 7859383 Course code – WOMN1500 A02 Instructor – Morgan Abbott Date – April 27, 2022 Legally Blonde: A Stereotypical woman My content of interest is the classic 2001 movie – Legally Blonde. This is a brilliant movie revolving around the life of Elle Woods, a beautiful, rich, blonde girl who seemingly has a perfect life. From the outside, it looks like she has everything a girl could wish for and is not afraid to flaunt it. However, her world comes crashing down when her perfect boyfriend breaks up with her because according to him, she is not smart enough. Heartbroken and with her ego hurt, Elle decides that she is going to prove her ex-boyfriend wrong. She started to work hard and ended up going to the same university as him to study law. The irony of the situation is that the boyfriend that said that she is not smart worked his whole life to enter the same university that Elle did within a matter of weeks and without giving up her individuality. As the movie progresses, we learn an important lesson about how far from the truth stereotypes about a particular group of people can be. In this paper, I intend to prove how wrong stereotypes can be. Based on these stereotypes, we also set up certain groups of people for failure from the beginning of a new task. I also am going to navigate through the various challenges that women have to face in academic and work backgrounds despite being surrounded by educated people. This is especially true for women who are a part of law enforcement or STEM fields as they are immediately considered to be inadequate. This movie was an outright feminist movie that came out during a time when showing women as dumb was considered to be funny. There were multiple movies that came out during that time where women were shown only as beings that could be shown off and brought no real value to a relationship. However, they did possess typically feminine characteristics such as nice, softspoken, ready for a relationship and most importantly dumbfoundingly beautiful. On the other hand, women who were shown as smart and opinionated were always portrayed in an unlikable manner. These were considered to be “ugly” women just because their characters invested more time into nurturing their academia and their mental well-being rather than their physical self and were most likely to be shown as unsociable characters. Despite such being the norm, Elle Woods in Legally Blonde was a beautiful, rich, and popular girl who was also highly intelligent, goal-oriented, and obstinate. The best thing throughout the movie was that she never gave up her individuality throughout the movie even though she wanted to fit in with the crowd around her. The movie deeply emphasized the fact that just because Elle dressed a certain did not have anything to do with her academic capabilities and her worth as an individual. The first few minutes of the movie show how much effort she puts into her appearance and the aesthetic around her. We can also see how clearly emotional she is when she wails in public when her boyfriend breaks up with her. However, most emphasis was placed on her superficiality considering how she dressed, her materialistic possessions and her caring only about her shoes when she was so upset over the breakup. These were all typical characteristics of a female protagonist in movies at that time. The first time I watched the movie, I am ashamed to say that I too instantly had assumed what Elle Woods is going to be like, however, as the movie progressed, I was proven wrong and pleasantly so. The movie was blatant about the role of stereotypes and the effects it has on the lives of average young women. In my opinion, it was a brilliant move to create the image of a stereotypical girl at the very beginning of the movie and to be completely honest, it is done by the audience itself. It takes a moment of introspection, but women are subjected to such stereotypes on a daily basis and are done by the best of us. Usually, I am an unbiased person and am a firm believer that women can have multiple dimensions and do not have to be confined to one. However, the start of the movie threw me away. As the movie progresses, we realize that Elle is in fact a smart and sophisticated young woman who is not ready to be taken for a ride by anyone. The best example of this is when a saleswoman tries to rip her off by trying to sell her a piece of clothing that is on sale for full price to maximize profits. Elle in an elegant yet straightforward manner not only puts the woman in her place but also proves to her that she in fact knows more about clothing and that the saleswoman should not have been so quick to judge her on the basis of her looks. Throughout the movie, there are various instances where the stereotypical views of a woman are constantly proved to be wrong by Elle. Even today women in law enforcement or STEM fields are treated differently than men with the same qualifications or skill sets. According to studies, even in STEM fields, women are judged more on the basis of their personality rather than their academic skills (McKinnon, & O’Connell, C, 2020). It is also very often that women are treated differently which sets them up for failure. This is especially prevalent in law enforcement fields because the percentage of women in those is lower as compared to men. Even the women who blaze their way into these fields are met with unbelievable prejudice and often have to succumb to knowing that they will never achieve the positions that they are capable of. In the movie, Warner (Elle’s ex-boyfriend) was insistent that Elle would not be able to hold her ground in law school despite her proving that she is capable of it by her getting admitted into one of the most prestigious programs in the country. A common denominator in the testimonies of the various women lawyers in the article published in the Law Journal was that all of them had to face prejudice and their careers had to face a lot more articles as compared to their male counterparts (Rubenstein, 2016). One of the saddest scenes throughout the movie was when Elle was asked for sexual favours in exchange for career advancement. Unfortunately, even in today’s day and age, this is a very common phenomenon. There are various laws and policies in place against workplace harassment but to no avail. There are various people out in the world, who enjoy taking advantage of their positions of power and they do so by preying on young women who want to prove themselves in the world. The positions of authority of their harassers stop them from speaking out because it ends badly more often than not. This does not stop at women who are in subordinate positions. Even women who hold positions of authority are subjected to harassment and sometimes only with the intention that the woman would ultimately get frustrated and give up their position and the men do not have to work under a woman anymore. It does not matter that the woman has already proved herself by obtaining the position that she does hold (McLaughlin, Uggen, C., & Blackstone, A, 2012). In such a world, we witness Elle holding her own place and opinion. She was strong and put her foot down even though she was initially portrayed as someone who is not capable of it. She went on to not only survive in the same atmosphere but also thrive by winning an almost lost legal case. As mentioned before, the movie Legally Blonde is a classic example of feminism in Hollywood during the early 21st century. Today, this would not be considered as such because it has its own share of problems however it was released during a different time and age. A movie that came out when the thinking and the way people conducted themselves were totally different. All in all, the way this movie put across its message, that a woman who has been stereotypically put into a certain category can most definitely break the imaginary shackles put onto her. More importantly, she can do it while keeping her individuality and personality intact. Unfortunately, the difficulties that women face in their workplace are challenges that still exist but are en route to being fixed as the world becomes a more considerate place.
