Name of Publication: Malawi News Paper 

Date: 25 -01 May 2015

Country: Malawi

Genre: Column

Theme: Gender Equality

GEM Classification: Subtle Stereotype

Skill: Portrayal

The  column is on the female page of the Malawi News and it is titled  Beware of Career Women. It covers a half page.

This article is a manifest stereotype. The headline of this article is trying to warn people of career as if all career women are bad. However it also does not talk about career men in the same manner. It seems like it is favoring men and warning them against marrying career women.

It also depicts career women as people who have no skills in relationships and they end up being duped by men.

Reading through the article career women are seen as not romantic and all they care about is work without any consideration of their love life and families.

It also depicts career women as people who are not independent and do depend some much on their male counterpart for promotions.

In addition the article gives men a responsibility of  taking  care of women—and women like to be taken care of men by portraying that carrier women are bad.

The article also talks about only men not being able to handle career women but it does not talk about women not handling career men. It seems like women can handle everything , even a difficult career man.
