Women has always been advertised as cleaning, cooking, children-Bearn,
sex machines. By showing advertisements of what an “average women” is, the role
that has been with them for as long as they have been. Many commercials and advertisements
use women as a sexism, which has created women as a sex icon. How do we stop
the way of advertisement? There is no stopping, it continues to grow. Ads in
1950’s showed women controlled and influenced by husbands, giving the idea
women are only supposed to be in the kitchen. Are men really better than women?
This was the idea after these advertisements, 1800’s is when the women’s rights
originated. By 1960-70 is when the wave was passed and more women became activist
in the act. Dose these advertisements or commercials end, not even close. You
still see in many products use women as a sex icon, not products like cleaners
but also even beer. Now it makes it even harder for women to be able to get a
job, or even keep one. Sexism is still big, many men or even boys think still
think we can’t do it. By seeing this image over and over in commercials,
billboards, movies, and television. It eventually becomes accepted and a norm,
making it acceptable by not only men but also women. Why can’t women also pick
up responsibilities and roles like men, some women even have to pick up both. Directors
even have divided genders to tell a story, men are like dogs like women are
like cats. We do this to tell a story, but these stories have changed our
prospective about genders. Which makes us also do the same, dividing genders
and roles.
