Global understand of the problems with pornography sets a clear agenda for agents of change working for a free gender society. Analysts found profound levels in which pornography works to attacks the social fabric of society, even outside the realms of sexuality. The indication is that the mere presence of pornographic materials in the workplace allows males to force females out of the industry. A further analysis of different types of pornography and negative depictions of women may surprise some individuals who believe that only extremely violent and sexual depictions of women, such as Hustler type magazines, cause an increase of violence against women. In fact their study indicates that exposure to media depicting women in degrading and subordinate situations, even if not explicitly sexual or violent in nature, will lead to increased violent behavior of men against women in society.
...the following ads share one thing in common- it views women as base, without any meaning other than a sexual one. Consider just on ad, and the focus on the dehumanization related to the imagery and context of the ad. Would anyone want her or his daughter or son represented as the women in these ads? If you can answer no to this question, consider joining the fight against sexism in popular culture.
I think Tom Ford's ads are absolutely DISGUSTING!! He openly exploits women and even implies male hatred and domination over females. His ads are epitomize the movement that your blog is trying to counter. Hid ads show society's openness and acceptance of exploitation of women's sexuality, very sad and pathetic.
ReplyDeleteOnce again, a genius ad. Go Tom Ford!
ReplyDeleteI don't necessarily think using female sexuality in the media is always a bad thing. I'm only 20, although my parents are appalled by scandalous advertisements. They didn't grow up with the same level of sexual objectification of women that me and my friends did.
ReplyDeleteI have a teenager and a six year old, and I carefully monitor the content they view on television or in magazine. However, it is impossible to monitor them all the time. Younger generations are becoming more accepting of these awful stereotypes. All this does is continue to create the same ideals and women are not able to make any progress.
