Killing Us Softly: Advertising's Image of Women

dannym3141 says...

>> ^bareboards2:

I agree that it is terrible that this is happening to men now. I don't think that is progress, I think it is a disease that is spreading.
The point you are missing, though, is that these are the VAST MAJORITY of the images that women see. Pay attention to the next movie or TV show you watch. How many "normal" guys are cast in parts? How many "normal" women?
While you are watching, switch the genders in your mind and imagine a woman who is of the same attractiveness level as the men. I think it will shock you when you realize that you see normal looking men ALL THE TIME and rarely do you see normal looking women.
What percentage of all posters/images are JUST male body parts? What percentage of men in the media fit this impossibly high standard?
You can count on one hand the number of "normal" looking women on TV.
It is so pervasive you guys who think we are whining don't even see it.
Compare that to British TV. Men and women both are routinely ... normal. They are chubby, plain looking, balding if they are male. It is a relief to watch British TV.
And I didn't tell you to shut up, @<a rel="nofollow" href="http://videosift.com/member/ala_bala" title="member since February 9th, 2007" class="profilelink">ala_bala. I said think for ten minutes and then speak. Which clearly you didn't do.

They definitely do this with men in advertising. Just watch any Gillette commercial. Huge bulging muscles and a penchant for ridiculous technology. A very poor representation of the majority of men.



Thank you for posting this, because i was just about to say - from what i see on tv, there is a roughly equal number of "perfect" men in adverts about aftershave, deodorant, shaving utensils, alcohol adverts, etc... If i compare, on the tv i watch, the number of perfect men to women? I'd say it was equal. Then i was about to say - does this say something about the difference between the sexes if it's only women who cannot help but judge themselves?

So there was my rant which never quite was, because i appreciate your comment and maybe i'm spoiled after all, perhaps it's not so bad here.

However, i really don't like the direction her argument takes, and i had to stop the video because i was that pissed off with it. "Objectifying is the first step on the road to abuse!" I'm sorry, but i can't buy into that and i never will. I don't like the logic whatsoever. It reminds me of the "violent video games cause violence" nonsense. There's always been violence, always will, video games won't change that.

In the same way, there's always been abuse and i would argue that abuse nowadays is far less accepted in our society than ever before. Racist, homophic, whatever. We are completely intolerant of those things now. Historically "raping" your wife wasn't really seen as rape, you were allowed to beat your wife if it was deemed reasonable, that kind of thing.

Absolutely unacceptable nowadays since the ADVENT of the objectification of women in advertisements - the evidence is hardly on her side. Cmon lady... I *hate* that argument.

Incredible double-turnover touchdown

>> ^RadHazG:

biggest fail im seeing right now is that the clip ends before they confirm/deny the touchdown! cmon people, anyone know what happened?


It was definitely ruled a touchdown. One of the greatest plays in Saints history.

sadly, the embed is *dead because the NFL is a bunch of money-grubbing *#$!!#!s.

how did the deity get there?


LOL "how come mars doesn't have that?"

That's brilliant. But i bet if you pointed it out to him, he'd just say "ok, so how did they get there too?" Then he'd buildd up an argument consisting of about 15 different wrong ideas, then as you carefully disprove each of the 15 points, he'd brush over it. When you got to the last of the 15 ideas and thereby prove him completely wrong, he'd just restate his argument. At which point you carefully disprove each of the......

I've talked to so many people who do this kind of thing.

Also love how he goes "cmon...." as an argument against science!

Edit: Nearly deleted my post when i saw the quote below. That basically stalemates the argument, and you both say "ok, so neither science nor god put the moon there " Brilliant strategy grinter

Clear Rationality from The Atheist Experience

Edgeman2112 says...

This is why I like and dislike this show:

Intelligent comments that quickly break down into arrogant smugness. Cmon AE. Do better than this. Don't laugh under your breath at people like the lady on the right at 9:56. You're no better.

It's no wonder people think athiests are jerks.
