The Four Men

In the advertisement shown above for Dolce & Gabbana, the women is being portray as a sexual object. There are four men in this photo with just one lady. One guy is on her being aggressive as he holds her hand down while the other three are just watching. The focus seems to be more on the women than the brand itself. The men are attracted to it, therefore they will look more into it. Whereas women may just bypass it. The women isn't even looking at the guy on top of her, instead she is looking past him. This may not be a big deal with advertisements but it relates to rape. It is a simple "okay" to control a lady. The company may have wanted this image to grab attention to both the women and men- the women would look at the four men without a shirt and the men would look at the women being taken over. I personally would have just passed the advertisement but analyzing it has made me think that it is not okay. It isn't okay for a guy to control a lady and have three other men just watch. I believe it is disrespectful.
