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

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.
