In this picture women are represented as weak. The question 'You mean a woman can open it?' is emphasising that women would not normally be strong enough to open the jar. It's allowing the audience to look at it and assume that they have made it easier to open so a woman can do it. It is suggesting that if a woman can do it anyone can.
This picture is showing exactly what people believe their child should be associated when they are a girl or a boy. As Tannen said the diffrence in he genders language starts at childhood, the magnets are even labled 'boy talk' and 'girl talk' as if girls have to talk using the words on the girl magnets and thr boys have to talk using the words on the boy magnets. Tannen sugested that boys are fed more verbs and this is strong supported by the magnets as the 'boys talk' has words such as 'swinging', 'climbing' and 'running'.
This video show Ellen talking about Bic For Her pens, she talks about the idea of the pen that is just for women. The pen is meant to be better for 'lady hands' and comes in colours such as pink and purple. Just from the packaging of this pen it is representing the image that most gils have to like the colour pink or purple because they are 'girl' clolours. On the packet of one of the pack of pens it says 'beautifully smooth', the adverb 'beautifully' is sterotypically a feminine word. the idea that now there is a pen for women all other pens were for men and now women have these pens that are pretty colours and fitted for a more feminie hand.
