HOW ARE WOMEN REPRESENTED IN THE MEDIA?
The women are seen as quite strong with high up jobs but when they pose as taxi cab drivers, they are verbally abused by men. One woman is younger and more attractive, she is single and so will be seen as more desirable. The other is a mother who is very domesticated although her partner treats her badly. So even though women have more strength and power here they are still treated harshly.

The men are represented as violent and gritty, the main guy is protective of his daughter. He ticks all the boxes of : sexual attractiveness, power and independence, physical strength and body image. The younger boy gets away with bullying.
