Are women over sexualised by the media for profits?

[AditiSaasha]

Is this even the right way to go? Are you comfortable with this? I certainlt feel insecure about it with enough men's mind manipulated already!

[BipBipLeddus]

They're meant to appeal to men's insecurities, not men's libidos. Commercials do the same thing to us by saying "this is you, you fat slob. No man wants you. Buy diet foods"

Only difference is the ads targeting men use pretty girls.

Side note:
I noticed it's a German (or Austrian or Swiss) ad.
Didn't German Sprite commercials feature an interracial couple having sex?

[sonoshee]

Of course they are. Sex sells. Is it the right way- no. But the companies will do whatever gets them more money.
I personally don't feel insecure about that. I don't watch TV, don't read magazines and whatever I see I ignore. These women aren't real, they have been'fix' with surgery or Photoshop. They aren't the standard.

I don't understand this picture. why is she lying there? Gold collection burger? I didn't know if it was a thing. but yea, women are. they're even in men's shaving kit ads or or men's inner wear. even in male condom ads, women are more focussed then men. I see no point

[northerngal]

I think we are. I just accept it and must admit sometimes find it amusing. It does not really affect my self confidence at all. But I would support leveling the playing field and sexualizing men more!

[AditiSaasha]

Sexualising men? Aren't they already? I don't remember old spice ads and the movies sure do have a lot of leads ripped than they should be.

[northerngal]

It is happening more and more I agree but certainly not to the extent that women are objectified or sexualized.

[deraz24]

That's weird for a burger commercial, its just the world we live in today

[Nora_Sutherlin]

Yes women are over sexualised by media. It doesn't makes me insecure though.
And the picture you posted is making me laugh...

[AditiSaasha]

Laugh?

[Nora_Sutherlin]

Because the add is about burger... whats the point of this woman?

[AditiSaasha]

Exactly. That is why I posted the question in the first place. I see no connection at all and yet they place an oversexualised and photoshopped model over there just to sell

[DevikaButts95]

I honestly think it's only a benefit. We're definitely sexualized at the very least.

[Maria317]

Yes cause sex sells Victoria Secrets sex sells if a woman weight 136 kilos you probably wouldn’t buy it if you saw it on them.

[potatoisme]

They've always been sexualized by media while thinking the opposite.

[Anonymous]

It’s dumb when it’s used to sell unsexy things like 1250 calorie hamburgers.

[Bedlington]

no not really i live for today

[larnski]

I thought it was obvious!

[nickyBBB]

Women chose sexualize themselevs

[nickyBBB]

Choose to* omg

[Kenni]

I just ate that...

Not the woman.

[AditiSaasha]

Ate? Was that a mistake or is there a deeper connection to the word here?

[Kenni]

Ate=eating

[AditiSaasha]

Aah. Got it. Took me a while to figure it out. Burger king. sorry about that.

[Kenni]

...😉

[Anonymous]

Yes but we do it too ourselves

[AditiSaasha]

Interesting. Care to explain more?

[Opinion Owner]

Most advertising is directed at women. When we see a hot beautiful woman that men desire we are more likely to buy the product. Think of Kim Kardashian.

[CubsterShura]

Yes. Yes they are.

[britpop]

Yeah in my humble opinion

[CrazyyChick]

Always and it will keep going on FOREVEE

[Anonymous]

Its kind of our fault

[maiave]

[Opinion Owner]

Sometimes its by the way we dress

[maiave]

You’re under eighteen so I understand you’d think that, I thought the same when I was like 14

[Opinion Owner]
