The stereotypes…
Heterosexual male= tough, protector and leaders. They are usually higher in society as Strauss's idea of dominant figures state the men who are around their 40's who have high paying jobs dominate in the general public.
Heterosexual woman= Weak, girly, feminine, damsel-like and emotional. Strauss's idea of binary opposites is evident as they are typically seen as subordinate figures.

Branston and strafford- Soaps rely on archetypal characters and stereotypes- ensures ready accessibility because stories have universal appeal about families and communities.
Stereotypes depend on shared cultural knowledge- some part of the stereotype must ring true.
Stereotypes are always about power: those with power stereotype those with less power (Dyer).
