I usually don’t watch television too much, but this week when I have I have noticed some of the comercials that are on. One thing I have noticed (and this isn’t really something new), is that for quite a few comercials that women are in, they are just portrayed as basically a sex object. Some of the comercials that would involve this include any of the axe commercials, car commercials, and comercials for alcohol. Most of them I can’t really seem to remember for what they were advertising, but I know that I have seen quite a few comercials that portrayed women this way.
I know that in todays day and age, sex is what sells but it just kind of got me thinking, is that really how I would want to be portrayed. I would rather be portrayed as an intelegent individual and not just some object for sex and pleasuring men’s thoughts. I don’t know, thats just what my thoughts are about that.
I’m not saying that all commercials with women are bad either, some actually portray women fine. I just think that it seems as our society is obsessed with sex and selling products by that. I also kind of find it funny that that is how our society trys to sell items, yet it also seems like our society doesn’t really like to talk about sex or anything like that. Thinking about it, I find that quite a majority of the society that we live in seems very conservative.
