Hi, I have never replied to this list but when I read the message
about magazine article's that hurt young women, it sparked my memeory.
Right now I am in a Women's Studies class at NAU, Flagstaff, AZ.
We just finished discussing how all types of advertisements disploit
women. Either by sexual reference or by making the younger
generations seem older which induces the child molestation rate. In
class we watched a Video called "Killing us Softly". I never
realized how women are reduced down to objects. We also discussed
the Barbie Doll effect and how the all generations of women are
affected by this. Disploitation of women are seen everywhere (videos,
books, ads, etc..) and so many people don't even recognize it
because it seems normal to the majority of the population.
