Social media use can have major impacts on one’s construction of identity, sexuality, and gender. However, some social media sites exhibit problematic and prejudiced themes through their photo and video posts. This paper examines two Instagram sites specifically targeting traditionally college-aged individuals. These sites have tens of thousands of followers, post frequently, and solely focus on highlighting the college experience. Through a textual analysis of these two sites, problematic themes emerged, including objectification of female college students, submissiveness of female college students, and emphasis on a young white college experience. These themes are detailed and explored, followed by a discussion on their potential impacts on broader societal structures and ideas for education on gendered prejudices in the media.

Besides, Sig. for gender scores lower than .05 (.013 < .05), gender gave significant effect towards speaking activities.

Mathematical communication skills of college students can diverse depending on the learning model applied. The peer teaching model and CTL are alternative models that can be applied to improve mathematical communication skills. The difference in ability can not only be seen from the selection of the model but also gender. Gender is one of the factors that can be used as a benchmark in determining mathematical communication skills. This study aims to see there are differences in mathematical communication skills between male and female college students and whether or not there is an interaction between learning models and gender on college students' mathematical communication skills. The results showed that there were differences in mathematical communication skills between male and female students and there was not interaction between learning models and gender on college students' mathematical communication skills. Male college students are better able to communicate mathematical in written form in written text and mathematical expressions while female college students are better able to communicate in drawings.
