▼ While women have made strides toward integrating the predominantly male sports industry, there is still a long way to go before they can enjoy the same power and legitimacy as men on and off the field. Despite the many victories of the feminist movement, including the passage of Title IX, patriarchal relations still permeate professional sports in the U.S. This thesis looks at the promotional media of the Lingerie Football League (LFL) (2009-2012) to reveal some of the material and symbolic forms of oppression against women in sports that contribute to the perception of women’s sports as second-rate. Promotional media that I study in this analysis include media representations of the league in promotional content on television (MTV2), online (Lflus.com, Mtv2.com, and Playboy.com), and in print (Playboy magazine). I also analyze the league’s uniform, team names, and logos. The results indicate that the promotional discourse created and endorsed by the LFL, at once blatantly sexually objectified the athletes who participated in this form of “fantasy football” and also demanded that teammates play the game as an aggressive contact sport requiring strength, physical conditioning, and risk of injury. Thus, contradictions in promotional media for the LFL pointed to ambivalence about women’s roles and capabilities in the sports industry. The LFL’s promotional campaign demonstrated how the league and its players embraced women’s athleticism in tackle football and simultaneously neutralized such athleticism as a threat to men’s domination of sports and to men’s domination of society in general. I conclude by arguing that the LFL’s latest rebranding efforts, that include ostensibly moving away from lingerie and embracing “performance wear” amounts to nominal change. Even as the “Legends Football League,” the new LFL still requires players to play in bras and panties with insufficient protective padding.

▼ Teenage pregnancy in the U.S. has been represented in popular culture in quite contradictory ways: as a serious social problem and an enviable, even glamorous youth identity. One important case in point is the television franchise 16 and Pregnant, a show that, together with its spin-off series, demonize and glamorize teen pregnancy. Above all else, 16 and Pregnant produces the spectacle of the pregnant teen as a new identity for reality television. The purpose of this thesis is to show how the content of the series 16 and Pregnant reflects and array of historical, cultural, and political-economic factors. I adopt a feminist perspective in my political-economic and textual analysis of the show and related media. The following analysis draws on Douglas and Michaels’ (2004) conception of “new momism” and Murphy’s (2012) conception of “teen momism” and applies these terms to 16 and Pregnant to explain how teen moms are constructed as both morally reprehensible yet also desirable figures that echo neoliberal and postfeminist ideologies. I discuss, specifically, how the series relies heavily on integrating neoliberal and postfeminist messages of personal responsibility, individualization, and self-management. I further argue that the construction of the “teen mom” identity within the 16 and Pregnant franchise represents a shift in previous images from “teen moms” as African-American, teenaged “welfare moms” to “teen moms” as white, middle class teens. Additionally, I demonstrate how the show also makes a media spectacle out of teen pregnancy while promoting itself as “educational entertainment.” Finally, I argue that despite its partnership with the National Campaign to Prevent Teen and Unplanned Pregnancy, the series focuses on producing an entertaining show by shining a voyeuristic spotlight on the cast’s personal lives all while promoting the tenets of neoliberalism and postfeminism.

▼ Reality Television (rTV) has become a staple of network and cable television with images claiming to be of real events, people, and situations. While this content widely constructs stereotypical images of women, it is also helping to develop the problematic representation of a quickly growing new genre of rTV, one that features housewives. From basketball wives to hip-hop wives – ‘housewife’ series have proved popular and profitable. Using Bravo Network’s commercially successful The Real Housewives of Atlanta as a case study, this thesis explores the formation of the Black housewife. Here, I conduct a textual analysis of The Real Housewives of Atlanta to explore the post-racial and post-feminist building blocks used to create Bravo’s take on the popular housewife image. Bravo’s successful The Real Housewives series documents the lifestyles of several sets of housewives from different cities/states across the United States. Of the seven different casts in this series, The Real Housewives of Atlanta (RHOA) is the only one to feature Black women, as well as showcase a majority African-American cast. RHOA is an important case study as it reinforces and challenges the normality of the exploitation of the Black woman in media in return for ratings. Though stereotypical portrayals of women of color are all-too-familiar within mainstream television, RHOA is different because this specific cast, still riddled with racist and sexist stereotypes, is Bravo’s Real Housewives series ratings frontrunner. Thus, this study contributes to media studies research on race and gender. The Real Housewives of Atlanta reflects post-racist and post-feminist ideology, specifically through the show’s character development of the ‘housewife’ and its purported attempt to represent “reality” on television.
