From the paper:

"Another aspect to the problem of determining if gender differences exist in reference to aggression and television violence is to examine if the shows and advertising themselves portray gender stereotypes.

They concluded that men are often portrayed as being more powerful and competent than women and are shown in more typically male occupations."
