No class lecture friday: sexual objectification: representing a person like a sex object, one that serves another"s sexual pleasure, media is increasingly sexualized. Killing us softly 4(video) notes: things are getting worse over time for the objectification of women, media is all about marketing. We use beautiful women as a marketing technique. values, ideas, and social norms. Computers are used to make women unrealistically attractive via photoshop: 91% of cosmetic procedures are performed on women. The overall numbers: advertising is mostly subconscious. We are obsessed with breasts as a culture. Everything can be sold by using big tits lol: real women compare themselves to these false impossible images. It sets a precedent for what is considered a beautiful woman : the white ideal means that the idea of beauty is usually caucasian.
