GENDER STEREOTYPES

Although Colombia and Norway are geographically and culturally different countries, both have major problems with gender stereotypes. Beginning with the erroneous idea they have about women; on the one hand the Colombian women, who are idealized as women with voluptuous bodies and the Norwegian women described as beautiful blonde and blue-eyed women, to finally both have great popularity on a sexual level. On the other hand, men have also been criticized, firstly Colombians described as lazy men for work and also as people who are too noisy. However, Norwegians are presented as macho men and heavy drinkers. All this has served as justification for campaigns to change these ideologies in both countries.
