Women and Men, as Portrayed in Advertising

They have taken and switched genders on a lot of the advertising we see every day. The results are hilarious! But it also makes you think...

I think this is brilliant in showing how the patriarchy sends messages to both women and men as to what their respective roles and places are via advertising.

I do not find anything about it to be hilarious. Even switching "roles" makes it look like a parody which further insults women. It is a sad commentary on the plight of women in the world. Im thinking women should be outraged not chuckling.

I also think if women find this amusing, it is a testament to how we internalize the sexism that is thrown at us everyday.

I think the very fact that it is so absurd will help highlight the gross disparities between the how men and women are portrayed. It's got not one iota to do with how I might or might not have internalized sexism.

Advertising, especially in this video is showing very much how women are seen and used as objects to sell products. It also demonstrates how women are seen and used as sex objects. It gives a message to both women and to masculine people. This is sexism. There is nothing funny about it.

This stuff reinforces the ideas that leads to behavior like rape, like sexually assaulting incapacitated teenage girls and taking pictures for facebook, and all the rest of the sexist crap women put up with including women thinking this sexism is amusing.

You finding it amusing doesn't surprise me. We have tangled before on sexism and how butches can be as sexist as cis men.

There's just something so intriguing about this picture (aside from my fetish for a femme wearing lipstick / lip gloss)....
