Portrayal of Women as Sex Objects in Men's Magazines

About me

Introduction	Our mission is to address the issue of sexual objectification of women in the media, specifically in advertisements featured in men’s magazines. We have chosen to target ads in men’s magazines because they tend to be filled with more ads that sexually objectify women than other magazines. The images that we have posted feature women as objects, they are using a woman’s physical attractiveness, or display of body, and sexuality to sell products. We feel that it is necessary to address this issue because when women are sexually objectified it creates not only false and negative ideas of women but contributes to other issues such as gender inequality. We are not asking people to stop reading these magazines or stop consuming media in general. Our goals are to create awareness about this issue and help people become more media literate about the sexual objectification of women in magazine ads. So that we can accomplish these goals please take time to think about the ideas and information we posted and the questions we have asked you to consider. Thanks!
