Killing us softly 3


Jean Kilbourne points out how woman are humiliated by the media. Women are devalued by objectification, silencing, dismemberment and sexualization. She shows efficient examples while making her speech. I was really impressed by the video, because it changed my point of view towards the women used in advertisements. Now, I agree with her and focus on the exploitation of women bodies in magazines and on TV.

  1. Yep, once you start to see what she means, it's hard to 'unsee' it, isn't it?
