How woman are degraded

As I said in my last blog, women are used as sex symbols in the media, and when we are talking about the media that includes all platforms ranging from ads to Instagram to music videos to commercials and videos. And women are being degraded on each play form, you see a girl  practically naked on Instagram with men who are well over the ages for 40 liking and commenting sexual things. When I’m watching a music video, all of the girls are wearing bathing suits and are dancing around the singer to promote his video, and guarantee likes and views. This light porn is used everywhere, I wish I could say that it is just that one music video (LINK#1), yet it is used in movies and commercials too. When advertising, let’s say a burger, there this a women eating said burger yet she looks naked, and ordinary objects like fruit are used to cover her boobs and butt,  so it seems like she is walking naked in a farmers market, I know right disgusting. I wish I would be making that commercial up yet I am not, look at LINK#2 and it is a Carl’s Jr.’s burger, where the burger doesn’t even get introduced until the last couple of seconds. Their marketing technique is so unoriginal. This technique has been used hundreds of times with hundreds of the same girl look alike. They all fit the  description of blonde, blue eyes, really big boobs, a slim, skinny waist and a big butt. Not everyone can look like that.
So because of videos such as Carl’s Jr. are setting the standards for girls and their body. I understand that this isn’t as bad as a problem as in the early 2000s where girls were only things with a pretty face. So when men and boys see women being treated like this sex symbol, it makes them think that it is ok for them to do the same. Let me tell you right now that IT ISNT OKAY! Women need to be respected, it so disgusting that 1 in 4 women are in a abusive relationship. This is because the media shows women as objects and it’s okay to use them for your own reasons. ALSO NOT OKAY!
This nation full of teenagers, is degrading women and killing their confidence. Now there are so many self-conscious people in the media just going by in life by posting nude (well practically, come on) pictures on their Instagram with a sexual caption, this is porn, if it’s not I don’t know what is. I am not trying to say that it isn’t their right to post pictures like that, I am trying to say that it’s hard to do that when there are men and boys out there who comment nasty and disgusting things. The degradation of women is more instense now that we have Instagram and Snapchat and so many social platforms, it makes it hard to live a private life. Before it was just in magazines, now it is EVERYWHERE. I can’t scroll on celebrities feed without seeing nude pictures with degrading comments down below. I wonder how they feel as people being brought down. I wonder if they have self esteem issues and they are suffering like the rest of us.

  1. I agree with everything your blog stands for and puts in to express how degraded women are. Especially the Carls Jr. ad where they made it seem as though women were only a sex object and their only asset was their body, which is really disgusting.
