Wait... What....?
Women being used as a sexual
object to sell clothes or beauty products is seen more often the women being
sexual objects for no reason. Here are two examples of how women in
advertisement are used sexually for no real reason. Both images give the
asumption that these women are about to give a blow job... if not to a man then
an object that just resembles a penis, is that worse or better?
Bell hooks
speaks about the importance of critical thinking. It doesn't matter what
materials you have access to or how well off you grew up being, if you cant
think about what you are being exposed to you can get yourself out of a certain
mindset that can be harmful to what you think of yourself or a current
situation.
I spoke to a few people of
different background and ages to ask them what they thought about these ads:
Maria, 22 yr old hair
stylist:
"I think its funny when I
first look at it but then I see why a woman might get pissed about it. There
are other ways to sell stuff, sex is a tool that works on everyone but then
again its so over used now a days that people are imune to it."
Theresa 61 yr old clerk:
"This is disgusting. How can
they get away from this? I'd like to meet these ad makers and see how many of
them hold healthy relationships with women..."
Jason 26 yr old
cashier: "[laughing] Oh okay yeah... it snot classy but hey if you make me
laugh ill 'member you better."
