Sex and Violence
If an advertisement is to be successful, it must first grab our attention.
Is no attention better than negative attention?
This ad is for a glucose meter that is put out by Bayer (like Bayer aspirin)...you know...the brand we love and trust because it takes care of our family?
The woman is strapped to a target while the man throws knives and says “ better to be accurate”
The advertised product is for a blood glucose meter and flirts with violence against women…this has nothing to do with the product being sold.
Aggression is a learned behavior Media violence teaches us aggression as
children It is possible to unlearn aggression, or better
yet, never teach it in the first place Cultural messages teach us how to behave
and we often go numb to human suffering and brutality with over-exposure and from the media glamorizing forms of masculine violence
Hitting Punching Kicking Beating Grabbing Pushing Slapping Raping Battering Sexually harassing And threatening assault with an object (knives,
guns, etc)
Nearly all (90%) of violent crimes are committed by males and most of them young.
If we deconstruct gender roles in our society, we can see how culture defines masculine and feminine roles
Why is a little teasing about wife battering more objectionable than using sexual images to stimulate conventional sexual appetites? Because it trivializes conduct that lacerates the bodies and psyches of unwilling victims, and obliquely excuses those who inflict the wounds…Instead of being deeply shameful, which it is, sexual violence has become chic – Stephan Chapman
