Why are advertisers using women as objects to sell their products to people? In today's society you can see that in certain advertisments women are being portrayed and used for their good looks and sexy body's as you can see in the far picture to the left. I dont understand why advertisers have to use women as a toy and center of attention. For example, in some beer advertisements women are seen standing under the man with their mouth wide open drinking the beer. Which symbolizes she goes down easiely. But we all know that it's because they want people to buy their product and make money off of it. As you can see in the picture a man is standing over a women who is sunbathing shadowing her and trying to get her to drink so that he can get what he wants. I think it's inappropriate to see women being used or substituded for an object because as for me being a women; I dont think that the media should advertise women like this because it makes women viewers think that it's ok to look and act like a sex toy when it comes to a man and easily giving him what he wants. Women don't understand that when they play a role like this in the media, it ruins their identity as being a female. For example, when women put on a certain act just to make money viewers will start to think differently of her and that she does'nt have any power or dignity. Women do have a right to say "no" and walk away because they know that it's not fair for them to be treated the way that men are treating them. I know that some viewers like to see women as objects because it turns them on and think that its a good way to advertise a product by referring to sex. How do you feel when you look at this picture? Do you think that it's ok for advertisers to display women like this through the media?
I completely agree with what you are saying. Ads that show women in different positions amaze me. I mean there is no point in putting up images like this, i mean if someone doesn't use your product then why create a demeaning ad like this.
ReplyDeleteI don't think its okay: BECAUSE I AM A WOMAN
ReplyDeleteI think the whole thing is silly and looks akward. The picture is saying women are beneath men (she is down he is up), men are powerful(he has on a suit)men are able to dictate their lives and their women's lives(he is holding both glasses in his hand) and women were born to be submissive and in subjection to men(she is half naked and laying on the beach not showing any power over the man). It's a disgrace to women and sometimes it makes me unhappy to be a female. I believe that men might have pressure from the media but I ever wonder do men wake up sometimes and just want to change gender just because being yourself: you can't dictate your life. Its not a good feeling and it's wrong for us to be the first target for the media.
