After reading Lana Rakow's "Feminist Approaches to Popular Culture: Giving Partiarchy Its Due" has really made me see some things about how feminists might feel about certain images out there in the media. In just about every magazine that I read there are always ads that have women in them. At first glance it just looks like a everyday ad, but after getting a better look at the ad you'll see the connotations that women have, typically sexual. Ads these days will have women barely clothed or posing in a sexual manner. If the women is not posing sexually, she'll be possible seen doing something that "Women" do such as cooking, cleaning, or taking care of the kids; All of which if a feminist was to look at them would most likely not be happy. From now on it will be hard to look at ads the same way.
