response to 2 ways a woman can get hurt

I thought the article was very insightful and used the right ads to get the argument across. Ads now in modern society put a lot of emphasis on sex and violence to sell their product. These ads usually depict men and women in stereotypical gender roles. Men are strong a dominant and usually a little violent to get what they want. While women are portrayed as being submissive and eager to please her male counterpart. I think these ads have a negative effect on the young people. It shows girls that in order to get a man's attention they need to be extremely skinny and do everything that he says. It also teaches young boys that they need to be violent and aggressive in order to attract the opposite sex.
