Are women only portrayed as sex objects?

We see them in commercials, magazines, billboards and many other things!
Why is it that males can not model as they do?

Now i know why!
But come one they could of grabbed more attractive men,
such as how they grab attractive women to model.

like these.
Come on this would of totally sold so many more cars than the other guys,
but the truth is that, women would still be used how they are being portrayed, half naked, butt baring, very slim, and of course the usual, perfection. In the magazine, we see them all the time advertising certain things, in a certain way in a form that would attract more people, by having them half naked. Magazines like cosmopolitan, seventeen, women's health, and many more always have a certain ad in which their models look a bit too sensual. What is the point of having them look like that, is it because they want other women to portray themselves like that, or just because they want more viewers from different sexes, well for me it just seems as an objective to get viewers to want certain things. And by having those sexual images our brains register it as attractive, and makes us want those things even more, it may also influence how we look.Media finds many ways to get viewers and the best thing they have done is to portray women more as objects, well would there ever be a point where women will wake up and take action? and how would that affect out society?

  1. I really do think that you make a good point Brenda, in every commercial that I see women are portrayed as perfect human beings. BUT honestly it's better that women are being portrayed like this, or else people wouldn't buy the products. Women would not stand up for themselves. because they just care about the money and how they look. And, if women where to go against what they are doing people will stop buying the products....
