On what specific aspect of feminism and advertising should I focus on?

Monday, December 14th, 2009

Braeden L asked:

I am working on a thesis in communications and I would like to narrow my topic a little bit more. I was possibly thinking about sports advertising towards women, car ads towards women, etc. Ideas please.

Thanks

Does advertising featuring female models lead to women being objectified?

Wednesday, March 25th, 2009

Max asked:

If so, what do you suggest to correct the issue?

The advertising industry is blamed for objectifying women; yet, prevention of women from employment in that industry would be refusing women’s employment rights.

Can one have the cake and eat it too?

Any points missing in this debate?
