In this post I will be explaining the Sex Role Traits of Kevin Keller one of the Main Character in the teen Drama Riverdale using the Items of the Bem Sex Role Inventory.

 

Kevin Keller is one of the main character in the show Riverdale. Throughout his time on the 4 seasons we have see him develop as the sherifs gay son who is not yet out of the closet about his sexuality and develops into this strong confident man. For all he has been put through with his father and the tragedies that strike Riverdale she has some very strong traits that I’m excited to uncover.

 

Feminine 

Shy- He is a very shy character in the beginning of the show and develops more and more into a confident gay man. He is first seen as a man who is not open about his sexuality and just doesn’t want to be put in the spotlight.

 

Childlike- Kevin is always willing to give information and do whatever his friends tell him to do which in a way makes him seem childlike and not as if he is in highschool.

 

Loyal- He finds some nice guys and some not so nice guys throughout the series and he is always loyal no matter what they have done ( including hiding and moving dead bodies)

 

Masculine

Leadership Ability- He is the director of all the school plays and musicals and they are all really good and have great depth when it comes to the characters and who he chooses to play which role.

Willing to take risks- Kevin is known for his par-using in Pikens Park to hook up with other gay guys who are not yet open. This is pretty risking considering he is meeting strangers in the middle of the park to hook up. The other person could be a serial killer or a murder!

Ambitious- He in the later seasons tries to take a stand against their new mean principle Mr. Honey who is not so sweet he takes it upon himself to do the rebellious aspect of the principle not allowing them to perform gay or sexual activities during the talent show. (drag)

 

I think Kevin definitely is the is more on the feminine aspect because of his character and how he acts throughout the series. He is one to always be there for his friends but also is not always the best turnout for Kevin.
