• Does the beauty ideal still tyrannize women? 

Beauty still tyrannize woman. That is what our society does in this day in age.  Even more so than before.  The technology has grown so much that you can do anything to a person to change their looks.

• Does advertising still objectify women's bodies? 

Yes because men want us to have bigger boobs and skinny bodies.  That is why most people have surgery to change their bodies.  Even though it's very dangerous and some people die from breast implants because of complications.  Females don't think they look good because of the advertisements in the world today. 

• Is sexuality still presented as a women's main concern?

 I think to a point.  They use weight and looks for sexuality a lot.  Especially in  beer commercials I could tell from the super bowl commercials last night.  They us the long legs and short shorts to make the men go gaga over the woman. 

• Are young girls still sexualized? 

Yes because if you go into an elementary school today, you see girls wearing skimpy clothes that weren't allowed back in the day.  They start wearing make-up earlier than when I went to school.  Girls are talking about people's weight in elementary school today.  My cousin was talking about their weight when she was in 4th grade and she talks to her sister about her being fat.  She isn't fat, she is going into her growth spurt before her older sister and also the younger one eats food where as the other one is a picky eater and doesn't eat much at all.

Which the oldest one is Grace which she is in the light blue and Emma is the middle one which she is in the dark blue.

• Are grown women infantilized?

 Yes.  They are made to look young again so it looks like they don't age.  They are used for beauty products to make your skin look young again.  How woman can get with younger men to make them feel young again.

• Are images of male violence against women still used to sell products? 

 There is some but not as much as there used to.  People have figured out that what people use in advertisements are seen from children and they act on it.  That is why all the children shows aren't as violent as they used to be.  There have been links to one another so they have been pulling the plug on it.  There is still some, but not as much as it used to be which is taking a step in the right direction.

• Do any of the problems listed above also apply to men?

Yes it is a little.  They are more self conscious about their dicks and the size of it.   There is advertisements about how to make it bigger so their is more pleasure.  Also men are talked about being mean and non nurturing.  Which that is not the case in some men.  Some men are mean but most men are sensitive and actually cry at the same movies that woman cry too.
