How Women Are Portrayed in Media: Do You See Progress
Has the way women are represented in media (movies, television shows, ads, newscasts, and talk shows) improved in the last decade?
The documentary Miss Representation, produced in 2011 by Jennifer Siebel Newsom, had a huge impact on me and many others. The film reveals and attacks the negative and limiting images of girls and women, particularly in media. It attacks the objectification of women in ads. It demonstrates the differences in the nature of comments about women vs. men news reporters and political candidates. Siebel Newsom later founded and leads The Representation Project with the goal of eliminating gender stereotypes of both girls and boys.
Another organization focused on changing stereotypical views of women was The White House Project. And it brought pressure on television and cable networks to invite women to appear as experts on news and talk shows. The Project celebrated the television series, Commander in Chief, which featured a woman President of the U.S. and (sadly) had a short run. Ms. Wilson now leads The Women’s Media Center, which trains women and girls to be “media savvy,” promotes media content by women writers and monitors and exposes “media sexism.” Another organization, The Women’s Media Center, trains women and girls to be “media savvy,” promotes media content by women writers and monitors and exposes “media sexism.”

In this picture, is a young women with a perfect body who is washing a red car which looks expensive.
Bikini car wash for my opinion attract men to wash their cars.
In this way the owners of car wash can increase their incomes in a fast way.
The Objectification of Women in Advertising
https://www.thebalancecareers.com/advertising-women-and-objectification-38754<br>
Since the introduction of advertising many centuries ago, women have been objectified, and in some instances, insulted or degraded.
The Ideal Woman as Portrayed in Advertising
Advertising, marketing, and the fashion industry have created a new type of woman who does not exist in the real world. You probably know the "Barbie Doll" look, but let's look at some of her main features:
1. She has no wrinkles, blemishes, or scars, and her skin is perfect.
2. She has impossibly long, smooth, and shapely legs.
3. Her waist so small it's as though you could break her in two.
4. Her teeth are beyond white, perfectly straight, and appear unreal.
What Men and Women Are Taught to Desire
At a very early age, men are programmed to desire the Barbie Doll woman. This is the woman featured in ads for perfumes and lingerie.
Women from the same early age, are told they must look like this woman. They should aim to have those long legs, that perfect skin, beautiful hair, and incredible body.
Here's the problem; that woman does not exist, anywhere.
She is the product of hours in the makeup chair and days of photo retouching, even if she's a supermodel. Her waist is not that skinny because no woman with a 23" waist wears a D-cup bra without the aid of implants. Every woman has imperfections in her skin because every woman is human.
What Advertising Is Really Selling
Advertising's main function is to create a need so that a company can provide a product or service to meet that need. For example, men drink certain brands of beer because they associate them with advertising's impossibly perfect (and highly sexy) women. "If I drink that beer, I'll get that woman."

Her eyes are dazzlingly bright. Her teeth are beyond white, perfectly straight, and appear unreal.
Men are taught (programmed) to view women as objects.
In the photo below we can see a women and a burger so my question is: Do you think that they have any relation with each other ,or it's done only to buy this burger?

Why industries choose women in an advertisment that is related with the Irish Rugby rather than men? Because women are more attractive than men. Of course, advertising, marketing, and the fashion industry have created a new type of woman who does not exist in the real world.
As you can see at the picture the woman who is supposed a rugby player,she attracts the major with her body,the make up and surely her posture. So, we can say that men(and women too) are not staring just at the attractive woman but at the product too. In this case, the woman gives a message with her look to the customers to buy the product that she is advertising. And in this way, industries become rich every day with the woman's "perfection".

Women and advertisements.
A perfect body= the perfect drink
As it seems in the picture a woman is exposing her perfect body to attract people to buy this kind of drink. Different companies use this
method to have their advertisement more interesting and attractive. To attract boys
and especially young girls who want to have the perfect body as the woman in
the picture and this is only to increase the popularity of the drink.
We are women and we can do it. We can work as man does, we
have the right skills to possess a profession, and we are powerful enough to be
the leaders, to manage every situation in a proper way. This is the meaning of
this advertisement, to show that we are equal with man; there is nothing we
can’t do but we can do it perfectly.
