Chapter 12

While reading chapter 12 I couldn't help but remember my high school senior government class and talking about the court case that defined pornography. We discussed the legal sides more than this book but I enjoy this chapter more than listening to the 'legal aspects' in a government class.

I found this chapter interesting as it descriped many ways fashion advertising objectifies women and turns them to objects to sell clothes. The different ways it stereotpyes women, Hierarchy, Objectification and submission was interesting because I never thought of it like that before. I saw the ad that is figure 12.1 differently then the text described it. I see just a girl sitting on the floor of a car. Since her clothes are center of the picture - I thought the picture did a good job of showing the bebe clothing. It could have been made much more 'sexier' having her in a slighty altered pose than she is in.
