There are numerous images that help support the feminist theories discussed by Lana Rakow. The image I choose was one that was definitely over sexualized with Gisele Bundchen modeling for a perfume advertisement. Even though this advertisement is aimed at girls, for a perfume called “The One”, it still has all the ideals that men try to portray as. This ad most definitely has the “feminine mystique”. She is all wet and sweaty with overly sexualized features, even though very few men will ever see this ad, unless they enjoy flipping through the pages of Glamour and Cosmopolitan. This further proves how in most all areas of media, instead of a realistic version of women, it is through the eyes of what men want women to be, and hence what women think they should be as well. The ideas and theories that Rakow discussed have been around ever since World War II and is still going to strong, but hopefully one day women would be portrayed a little less sexy and a little more real.
