Killing Us Softly 4: Advertising’s Image of Women

Watch this.  The FIRST THING she says is something that really resonates with me.  So often, I hear, “Stop getting so offended.  It’s just an ad, that’s what they do!  They’re trying to sell a product.”  Saying that is just as bad as, “It’s just a joke, don’t get so uptight.”

Ads and jokes are a reflection of what society thinks is normal, and they also normalize things…  It’s cyclical, so unless we get up in arms over these things, problems will only perpetuate.
