Multimodal Discourse Analysis combining Systemic Functional Linguistics by Halliday (1994), Visual Grammar by Kress & van Leeuwen (2006), and a concept of   Gender by Butler (2004) were used  to show how the interplay between semiotic modes to construe meaning. There are four images and 26 clauses selected from the post.
