This image is marketing and old tobacco company. This picture portrays the message that despite how offensive an action one may do, women will continuously come back to "their man." This image depicts that fact that in many advertisements, women are commonly seen as secondary to males. The caption in the advertisement says "blow in her face, and she will follow you anywhere." As many know blowing smoke in anyones face is disrespectful, unacceptable, and overall just disgusting. However, this picture makes it seem as if it is acceptable. In the section called "The Images and Representation Approach," they talked about how women are seen to be totally passive, ever-suffering, and second-class citizens whose greatest fulfillment in life is having their collective psyche divined by the out-of-touch men. I believe that this image fully portrays all of these descriptions.
