The Gucci image displays a girl showing off her tatoo of a "G" and a man rubbing her legs down where the tattoo is being displayed. I think this is inappopriate because Gucci is a very popular fashion line, and young girls probably see that ad all the time. In their eyes if it is being advertised, then it seems to be ok for that kind of behavior. I think this ad could easily be advertised in a more appropriate manner without the tattoo where it is, and the man looking like he is carressing over her.
The second image about coffee looks like the man is beating the woman for a coffee advertisement, and says she better not let her husband find out. I think this image is not displaying women as the independent women that we should be, but it is portraying women as letting the man take over in every situation. This image has a lot to do with gender, by people assuming women are the not strong and independent people.
The third image is advertising for bras, and the caption says "Draw your Weapons." I think it is really hard to display bras without not showing women being undisplayable. In Vicoria's Secret magazines, they have to display women like that because that is what they are famour for and what they are selling. The image is not as bad as a lot of them, but the caption, I believe is unnecessary when trying to display different bras and their sizes.
That Gucci ad is ridiculous. The girl's body looks strange to me, and her face isn't shown. Yet another example of ways to portray women as objects. If you don't see her face, it's easier to think of her as an object rather than a woman.
ReplyDeleteI agree completely... especially about how you said her being as an object.
