Cosmetic surgery is one scientific technology that constantly constructs gender stereotypes and differences.
Cosmetic surgery is mostly associated with women.
When we think of cosmetic surgery, the media often portrays the surgeons as men, and the patients as women.
Often, women are taught to look good and disguise their "defects" to look as pretty as she can.
While men are taught to deal with their "defects"
Public understandings of science and technology come from the views represented in media, when those views misrepresent the construction of science, people start internalizing the stereotypes and attitudes they see. This can affect how they interact and interpret science.
