Sexual Objectification in Advertising
For my final paper, I wrote about the objectification of women over the course of America's history. When looking through modern advertisements I was blown away by how often women are exploited in ads. Here are some shocking examples of advertisements all from one organization alone, PeTA, the largest animal rights organization in the world. It obviously will go to great (and shamelessly sexist) lengths to send it's message. Here are some examples where women are sexually exploited or objectified (turned into sexual objects) in order to promote PeTA's message.
On PeTA's official website they explain Why PeTA uses nudity in their campaigns.
Is the fact that PeTA must "rely on getting free "advertising" through media coverage" an excuse for their constant exploitation of women? Do their good intentions eliminate the harmful messages they are sending Americans?
