These stereotypes are degrading to women and it becomes understandable that some women want to distance themselves from the ANTM stigma that is imposed on them. Ponzer stated that "Tiffany has been transformed into ANTM's symbol of the irresponsible ghetto girl who is unwilling to work hard to take care of herself or her child." (Ponzer 401) This case is aimed at African American women but the outcome is the same. Women don't want to be pigeonholed into these nationally broadcast stereotypes. By accepting and conforming to masculinity, a woman can escape the hold that stereotypes and demands have on women. Society has characterized both male and female sexes in stereotypes. Some women can break the stereotypes imposed on them by displaying characteristics of masculinity in the workplace and in daily life. This presentation of masculinity can alter how men respect women in the workplace and allow women to be seen as leaders or entrepreneurs in the company.
