Maybe talking about this subject would also open the door to talking about what message we're "really" sending to our daughters and young women about what our role is in society, or how we should look, feel, act, etc... :)Jillyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16090341752133031713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5223916014760644707.post-55230746123110466152008-09-19T14:10:00.000-04:002008-09-19T14:10:00.000-04:00I agree.

I have done this myself. But the effect is limited or negated if nothing is said. <BR/>There is also a huge difference in "suggestion" and blatant sexualness. If I were to pick up a Cosmo magazine, I would expect many of the advertisements to be very sexually suggestive. I would be ok with advertisements there that I would not be ok with during afternoon television (prime kid viewing time). But wherever the ad is placed/aired there is still a line that should not be crossed. (it is the difference btwn using sexiness to advertise and demeaning women/turning them into objects in order to make a point.)Meghannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09208259769786805354noreply@blogger.com
