"People have different power levels"
I believe that this is true as there are always individuals that hold authority over others be it the government the authorities or even the media. The media are powerful as they shape the way that the consumer views the world and any bias that they should have often influences their audience by exposing them to the opinions they hold. they are other examples of people in power even inside groups such as the family for instance the father or mother figure often has control over the household and any children they have or in the workplace where the boss holds authority over his employees therefore having a sense of power over them. There are even examples of power in social circles where peer pressure and conformity dictate how people behave around each other. There are also people who have less power, who cannot shape other people lives so easily but even they have some kind of power like the employee for if they do not work then a business would not be able to run.
"There is no longer one representation of either gender"
This statement is more true in the modern days as there is less of a demanding social structure. For instance women can now dress and behave how they want whereas before society demanded that women take care of the household and wore "proper" clothing such as a dress. Men too were expected to conform in a certain way, one stereotype is that they were the only gender suited for manual labour whereas women can now work in manual fields of work as well. There is also a blurred line as some women dress like men now with masculine clothing and short hair as well as people who feel as though they are a different gender in the wrong gender.
