Unforgivable Women's Perfume


Although this is an ad aimed towards women, it still makes the woman look submissive and the man look powerful like he controls her. As women, we are taught to be submissive and without a second look at this advertisement this is just a normal thing we see daily.

Budwiser

This is yet another ad where women are seen as sexual objects. Although this is an ad for beer there has to be some barely clothed women to push the product. If the large logo across their bathingsuits we'd have no idea what this was for!

Nikon Camera

In very small words at the bottom of this ad it says it can recognize up to ten faces. Also, in the background there are women in each of the windows. According to this image with this camera you can have any woman you want and also maybe more than one at a time. At first glance I had no idea what this ad was for.

Skyy vodka

This image basically says it all! It demonstrates how a man is ranked higher than a woman. It also demonstrates how women are always portrayed as large breasted and scantily clothed, while the man is fully dressed and appears powerful.

Tom Ford Cologne

As I was looking for sexist ads on the internet I came across this ad for cologne. What does Tom Ford's cologne have to do with some woman's breasts? In the image, I'm not sure if it is the cologne for sale or the woman's breasts. It almost puts a woman's private parts on display, as though they are an object just like the bottle of cologne. A living breathing woman is then compared to an inanimate object. Also, I feel as though the lack of a picture of her face is even more degrading.
