how female youths are introduced - sket opening sequence

In the film sket, the female youth are introduced by being:

• violent, shouting, swearing and spitting - this is showed by the females attacking the male who is laid on the floor at the beginning of the film.
• dominent - beating up the boy on the bus, this shows their power against others
• intimidating and persuasive - beat up boy to protect the girl, but tells her to go and steal
• aggressive - beating up people 
• protecting other women (sister hood) 
• the girl on her own - isolated and alone - no one to talk to which is why she looks up to the other girls on the bus as she has a sense of belonging to a stereotype

issues about youth culture arise:

• confrontation with other youths are older members of society - persuading girl to steal from other man who owns the shop
• violence - beating up people
• stealing - they quoted 'he knows us' therefore this suggests that they steal all the time therefore needs someone else to do it for them. 

the rise of the ladette 
the girls appear to exist without the need of men and are not merely objects of desire; as a unit they initially function effectively taking on qualities and roles often associated with men - protecting (other women), organising (working as a team, planning what their going to do), leading (persuading others), being violent and taking risks (no bothered if they are running the risk of getting into trouble).
The 'masculinisation' of the women seems to make them hard and cold, stripping them of their femininity.

By the females acting like this makes society aware of them and them being people they don't want to run into incase anything happens to them. Also they are making themselves look like criminals in the society eyes therefore people are trying to make them not fit in with society and not be a member of society.

issues of identity
Judith Butler argues that identity is a performance
Michel Foucault argues that identity 'it is a shifting, temporary construction'

I agree with both Judith and Michel, because i feel like in this film the females have to use their voice and their actings to perform to show themselves to society of who they are therefore they are performing to make themselves herd of within society even though it may be for the wrong reasons.
However I do feel like their actions are only temporary as in real life the way people act and behave often changes from time to time therefore I do believe that they will change and improve on their behaviour.
