Powerful Video Reveals How Ads Are Filled With Sexism And Objectification Of Women

ADVERTISEMENT

Objectification of women is a thing that exists even in a sandwich advertisement. That’s what the #WomenNotObjects project is all about. The video pairs some egregious examples of sexist advertising with sarcastic remarks from women exposed to them. From sandwiches to pick-up trucks to clothing – it’s as pervasive as to be everywhere.

The project video encourages discussion by using #WomenNotObjects hashtag. If you want to see more ladies fighting back, here’s a post on female scientists reacting to a sexist remark by a prominent male colleague. And here’s one about a project using hygiene pads to raise rape awareness.

    I am all against women objectification (or anyone's objectification for that matter, no one deserves to be treated like a tool), but sadly I'd have to agree that this video was a bit too weak and vague. The "I am your..." was a good point, but would have been more effective if shown in front of those sexualised pictures (or would that be a little extreme maybe...?). My favourite part was the parfume one, "man that smells like a vagina"! Hilarious! In that given context, of course.

    Oh please, men being objectified? Not quite the same thing is it? Try to be honest.

    Yes, it is the same thing. Nobody should be objectified... and it doesn't matter if you are a woman or a man. We are all equal.
