Sex For No Reason


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."
