The fourth stereotype is also reflected in the young woman who lives at her cousin’s house at no expenses and in the character of the fashionista who has a relationship with the brother of the father of four.

The fifth stereotype and the sixth, (subjecting her will to that of the male and being feminine is to be impotent, futile, passive and docile, make the man’s wish comes first) is reflected in the character of the transgender daughter of the “saint” woman.

Cliché number 8, (erotic transcendence in acting as a prey), appears in the character played by the former drug addict and former prostitute and in the fashionista.

Chapter 1 of the eleventh season presents stereotype 4 (little self-esteem) when the sexist and xenophobic character tells the neighbour who has been elected as president of the community that she is “an illiterate housewife”, to which she replies: “Illiterate me? But I buy the Hello every week!”. To which he replies, “this is what we need. A feminist rebel how well the world was working when you couldn’t vote”. In another moment in that scene, another male character says that “a housewife who can read is a danger”. Sexist comments do not have an ad hoc reply. She insists on being legal to make things work and the sexist guy, along with the group of neighbours he does not like, insult her again with the word “housewife”. In a scene in which a group of three women comfort the female transgender character they say that “the best way to find a prince charming is to take him over”. Stereotype 5 is again quoted, (submission to the man), when the mother of the four children accepts the blackmail of her brother-in-law against sexual favours in exchange for being able to see her children.

Domestic worker Chusa also does sex work, commissioned by one of the neighbours for her brother. A person of colour, used as a sexual object by one of the two cousins who live together, is giving a foot massage to the girl he spent the night with and he says “I now understand why the Confederates did not want to abolish slavery.” This phrase makes the other say “don’t be stupid”. The sexist and xenophobic character finds this person in the hallway of the property and says, “Do you have a maid? I feel so sorry for you. I will take you back at the Mariscos Recio (the fish shop) so that you can regain your dignity”.

Analysis of the stereotypes of chapter 10X05: ‘A virtual bride, a pretty maid and a confused mason.

It is curious to see that the female character who embodies a virtual woman, who “lives on a tablet”, embodies the eight stereotypes. She is a “gift” to the father of four from his brother, with the aim of regaining his sexual drive. From the beginning, the virtual woman makes a statement of intent with sentences such as: “My only mission is to make you happy”. The male character says expressions like “what a lovely ass” and then initiate a series of pelvic movements which last until his brother enters the room. When he tells him that the virtual woman is multi-orgasmic, the brother says: “In Japan no one has brides of flesh and blood anymore. For what, as they’re all problems”.

In this chapter there is a meeting of the younger women (the mother of four children, the transsexual, the young woman who lives for free at her cousin’s house, this cousin, the former drug addict and ex-prostitute and the young mum and lives with her husband and who in this chapter will take a job in a sex-shop). In this meeting, the latter comments that her family insists that she has to work because she can’t make ends meet with her husband salary. One agrees with her husband, another does not, and say that women’s lives suck. Looked after is much better. The mother of four says, “now
