Ben and im. Before we start crunching the numbers heres something the advertising executives missed the growing market for women who fancy a ride on fast wheels yeah were no longer being draped over motorcycles just to rev up sales then we have bounding the raba i think its pretty cool. Well documented by one thats long been dominated by men. But this is a women only event they want to bring the star you know type. Thats its money cannot win by monday even if your children partner at home call friends you havent seen for a while get on your motorbike and head to pet for lads to do something thats just for you. 4 years ago if they were called nick founded whats now europes biggest women only motorbike festival petra lets. Her aim was to get more women interested in money to bikes and to connect them with each other. On call and every year we see a handful of women who dont have motorbike licenses and who arent into the scene but then they have a license and come by motorbike. And having an impact on the market since 2011 the number of women with motorbike licenses in germany alone has risen by around a quarter to almost 5000000. But still more than twice as many men have money to bike licenses the industry remains very male centric. Its difficult when you go into a store i wanted something for me with different sizes and i was kind of intimidated their only guys in the store there guys they dont like even talk to you or if i wonder which with my friends. To introduce themselves to my friends but they dont even like shake my hand thats been in my home to see all awareness is growing and as a target group were taken more seriously but theres still a. A long way to go before the motorbike market gets more female friendly especially in terms of clothing or nothing since even if you are. In the past women were often just used as decoration to sell most to buy. But thats changing slowly the industry is taking note women bikers are a force to be reckoned with its. Always different than mine so we didnt have any female role models in the past showing us that it was totally normal for women to ride motorbikes do mechanical work and go on longer trips by themselves so there was no one inspiring us but were changing that now i want to. Believe the comic did have a role model her father she began writing a motorbike 10 years ago so she could join him on the legendary route 66 in the us. They came when 4 and were told its a one i didnt really have much of a desire to ride a motorbike before but i love challenges and i really adventurous im like to travel. So thats why i got my license and took that trip with my father. These days shes passionate about motor bikes but theyre still just a hobby riding a motorbike is about having fun and living life to the full. And the. Sitting in a car its like you have a picture frame around you. But with a motorbike youre in the picture right in the middle theres no frame that youre looking at from your right in the middle and thats a different feeling. A feeling that shared by a growing number of women petra lets event is all about networking and creating community its also a safe space where women. Compelled that confidence. Its needed and. I live in the here and now for me its just important that the scenes growing and that theres an interest that more women become aware of it because its such a cool thing is that. When youre on the road its just you and your motorbike its time for yourself all these days thats months physics toward these women are born to be wild the global Motorcycle Market is riding high with some 100000000000 euros in 2018 its expected to keep growing and thats some part to women. Well its not just women in germany who are confronted with cliches japan is one of the richest and most technologically advanced economies in the world but society there is still very traditional it has the 3rd biggest gender pay gap among members of the o. E. C. D. The organization for Economic Cooperation and development only women in south korea at the studio paid less on average compared to men i know im half japanese huff german i visit japan often and when ever i see my japanese on she always asked me when them are finally getting married you know essential meeting a woman and all and you know even 30 yet. Its ridiculous and many people this think im not female enough and im too emancipated male female roles are still firmly entrenched in japan but i met one woman there who is trying to question gender stereotypes with a very unusual product try this on for size. The big day in recent years weve seen the concept of brands for men emerge many people online for example find the idea strange or gross. Believe it but i think people should be able to wear whatever they want whether they are men or women. Just because it feels comfortable or they like it we are starting this brand to enable that. In mom but i want to tell you. Im a super tiny 29 years old and im in the process of launching a gender neutral underwear brand. And you know i was. I think typical japanese underwear stalls dont offer that much for ayat theres a lot of floral lace pink ones id like to have a place that off with simpler more neutral designs which are more comfortable to wear. When talking about gender or sexuality in japan i feel like im being choked and. Theres no direct or physical violence involved but you can speak about it and thats distressing i think thats very typical of japan. I initially thought the bras would be mostly for women but i found out that many large a man worry about their breasts showing. The man my son men dont want their nipples to show and i realized that the only reason why many men dont buy brothels is simply because theyre scared of what others might think its something i can claim ive been given. A vast amount of and i have the body of a woman i thought when i wear this the whole doesnt bother me. And many men prefer it that way so we chose the design purposely we thought why not leave it that way so that anyone could wear it if they want to read and. Heavy. Because we want our products to be available internationally they will be on sale online. And were also collaborating with a Japanese Department store chain to sell them there as well. The problem is the way women are perceived inch of her in startups that have just gone public women hold less than 5 or 10 percent of any important position inch of her and we have a term. Its for when a woman gets married and therefore stops working at a Company Manning and parenting go together and theyre seen. Its the ultimate goal and source of happiness for women for many people here still think that way. So i dont think were going for a niche market here maybe its too simplistic but focusing on male female customers limits i think a market is just going to double. Up. Peoples perceptions can change the i think that can happen quickly its our goal that people wont be looked at strangely just for wearing what they like thats what we want to present topics without gender bias and change the way people perceive these things. I just went to the addresses to get ready for my fair share a wash cut and blow dry costs 55 euros for me but for you it would only been 29 euros thats pretty good i dont buy it there are things in lots of parks that you get as a woman ladies nights free drinks free cocktails dating apps are cheaper for women well theyve got to get 0 interest somehow but overall you guys definitely have a better deal a german study shows how all gender specific services are more expensive for women even things like having your clothes washed and i and men only pay more in 90 percent of the cases the study looked at only 41 percent of services where the same price and if you look at the average price difference women end up paying quite a lot more than men certain euros 80. 00 in comparison to men for the same products and Services Just targeted specifically at women when made a charge more its only 7 and a half years more ok im starting to feel bad see. Heres our colleague christina take on gender cliches and gender. Good i hope for women coke 0 for men. Calorie free coke was commonly associated with women. So as the years went by a separate sugar free version was created for the stronger sex. But about cafe for women because we like to hang out over a good coffee for men theres mcdonalds a quick simple meal go to the day we do we already have to divide everything into pink and blue just to sell more. In marketing defended the vijender marketing targets male and female consumers differently the danger is that it reinforces stereotypes and traditional roles. Sewing machines cookbooks ions vacuum cleaners last year a german Supermarket Chain launched a Mothers Day Campaign that was so sexist it backfired. Is that of course men and women are different and it would be nonsense to develop sanitary products for men for instance you need to toiletries have to be divided into pink and blue. Is it really necessary for items that everyone uses to look different for men and for women it is. Better man gender marketing sometimes even invents a necessary product supposedly for women for example a ladies electric screwdriver or what have got. Those that has what they are smaller and has simple to operate buttons because apparently were weaker and less intelligent. As women have emancipated themselves. The market has discovered. Only be exploited if we women go along with it. Products never buy an electric screwdriver designed. Now here would you buy a ladys electric screwdriver well im not the strongest as you can see just like christina out of principle i definitely would not buy it you know what sales went through the roof pretty interesting stuff so pink and cuddly for goals blue and robust for boys is that dictated by a law of nature or something no actually not far from it its a fairly modern invention in fact in the 19th century childrens clothes were often white or left on bleached that way they could be washed at a High Temperature without they call a fading and i was surprised to find out that pink and red were actually colors seen as very masculine because its strong colors a book called the red garments worn by kates well gals will blue because that was seen as more delicate and it was associated with the virgin mary but you try telling that to a screaming 5 year old. All of a pacifier for a Little Princess blue for boys even when theyre babies theyre slaying dragons where do these gender stereotypes come from. The Advertising Industry thats where girls wear pink and like dolls. They never wear blue. Thats for boys. Marketing professionals petal stereotypes that markets for our entire lives. These conditions gender roles can make us sick thats what he has picked out says hes editor in chief. Thanks thanks thanks its not very friendly i he said gunson its actually were nice we just want people to realize that pink isnt just for girls and blue for boys gender roles or something we can play with we shouldnt pigeonhole children we should help them figure out their identity and let them do things their own way. Pick out has 4 children their mother works in a different city during the week he shoulders all the parenting himself. Hes one of 5 members of the pink stinks team its financed by donations. And i think you know were in a completely run of the mill german city lets take a Wander Around the main shopping street and see what sort of gender stereotyping we can discover in the shop windows. We dont have to look far. Enough apparently only girls in pink get their ears pierced and seriously how many parents would buy a little boy a while back suitcase with a picture of a unicorn not many boys get the blue ones with the puppies. On the top i have a daughter and she had a pink bicycle and i have a son whos 18 months younger than he now needs a bike too but even though he could just have the penguin because thats still in perfect condition id buy him a new one a blue one so ive been sold 2 items when i really only needed one. Or best mark you could just buy a green bike one solution. Then we come across this poster the slogan is practice makes perfect the citys Construction Industry is looking for trainees. It would have been nice if this campaign and aim for more diversity theres a shortage of skilled workers these days and they could have featured a few women for me its a job for women too of course that is. More examples of gender stereotyping can be found on the pink stings website. Users are invited to send in agree just examples of sexist advertising. Sexism when its a case of discrimination based on gender and when we men constantly convey the message that we arent capable of looking after our children and when we convey to women theyre expected to be essentially available all the time to take care of the household and look after the kids not because they can not because they want to but because theyre women and therefore its their job thats gender based discrimination. Its high time to smash gender stereotypes. Lets just let boys and girls be whatever they want to be. And as we just saw with the Construction Industry and gender stereotyping also affects the professions that we choose but lets move away from europe for a moment and take a look at a very different gender specific product one with cultural and religious roots they had stuff headscarf can be very controversial and thats despite europes long history of covering up womens heads men as well men and women up until the middle of the last century wouldnt leave home without a hat on their head but some people see the headscarf now as a symbol of womens oppression of sexism and in a few islamic countries women are required to cover their heads by law but many muslim women say that for them wearing a headscarf is a liberating a way of stopping themselves from being reduced to a looks or a way of expressing themselves one of them is this next indonesian entrepreneur the aging the starry Business Model based on creating head scarves for working with slim women.
