Jean Kilbourne speaks about the damages done by advertising that makes women – and especially girls – never satisfied with how they looks. And it’s a point to pay attention to because it’s happening to men as well.
People argue and ask what the point of this is. What’s the harm?
The harm is that if we let this continue on, no one is ever going to be confident, people will go into debt (even more) trying to attain artificial perfection and advertisers will keep winning as we sell each other to each other.
Really, how long will it be before male rape is on the rise (if it isn’t already) because they are objectified in ads, too?
