Representation of Gender

How is Kermit represented as a male?

In the centre picture of Kermit it is very difficult to determine whether he is male or female. From this picture only, Kermit could be taken as male due to him being green, moreover the ideology of the colour green represents male. However frogs are green anyway so this denies this suggestion. His jagged collar illustrates he is male and a female frog would probably not wear that around their neck. His posture is also very strong and masculine but polite with his hands behind his back. Another Ideology is that in many stories and film, frogs are seen as males for example Princess and the Frog, therefore we take Kermit as being male.

In the office picture on the left, the anchorage creates the image of Kermit being male due to him at work and being in a panicked state. The ideologies nowadays of working in the office could either be seen as male or female. As you can see in the last picture, the anchorage of Kermit being in a suit and hugging Miss Piggy certainly represents Kermit being male. Finally the most obvious give away is that his name is Kermit but that's only if you knew his name!!
