If you grew up with watching television or roaming the internet, then you’re probably familiar with seeing the examples that the text provides us. It’s almost normal to us to see such a handsome man advertising tools or a new vehicle and an attractive young woman advertising a new beauty product. When it comes to food, we often stereotype on what a certain gender eats on the daily. With all the criticism and hate, we are often told to look a certain way, eat certain foods, or act a certain way.
This text is great at bringing attention to the type of stereotypes and objectification the entertainment and food industry shows to get money in their pockets. It helps the audience see that these type of objectifications isn’t and should never be okay to anyone. It’s also important for everyone in today’s society to learn from the mistakes others made in the past and how to make a difference.
If a man has a healthier diet than eating out from fast food everyday, he’s looked upon as feminine. It’s odd that these stereotypes are normalized. If we expect a man to only eat a “manly” and unhealthy diet, then realistically they’re going to become overweight and a man being overweight is also stereotyped to them being lazy or unattractive.
In the passage they give us examples of fast food commercial’s that are full of objectification’s of women and men. Nodaway’s our society is trying to use less stereotypes and objectifications as entertainment and more equality. Instead of using just a lady in “sexy” clothing, we have commercials that now use humor of relatable jokes in our daily lives.
Overall, it’s complicated trying to meet everyone’s expectations which is why we shouldn’t always give in to the criticism and hate. What we eat or want to look like is our own business. Hopefully the stereotypical and objectifying commercials/advertisements can come to an end.
