  10. 10. <ul><li>The naked bodies of these three women were used to sell as many products to men as possible... </li></ul>
  11. 11. <ul><li>positions of </li></ul>INFERIORITY ...in the most degrading and sexually indiscriminate positions. These woman have been placed in
  12. 12. if not for sex, then... <ul><li>just what else are women good for? </li></ul>
  13. 13. here are some ideas. Without men women cannot: <ul><li>Apply their own sunscreen </li></ul>2. Chop a tree for wood (in order to provide for themselves) 3. Play a game of table tennis and/or row a boat and/or play a game of volleyball 4. Serve breakfast - for there is no man to serve breakfast to 5. Swing on a swing-set - we are idiots who need men to push us 6. Play spin the bottle - do we sit around waiting for a man to play this game with? 7. Without a man, a woman cannot enjoy her swim, and therefore refuses to swim altogether
  14. 14. who are we kidding...we women should stick to what we know <ul><li>Sharing beds with each other (translates to having sex with each other because according to men we’re all pseudo-lesbians) </li></ul><ul><li>Sharing bikinis(underwear) with one another - we also change clothing in front of each other and watch each other undress </li></ul><ul><li>Bouncing around in our bikinis for exercise - wearing our bikinis and having perfect makeup all day long is how we feel the most comfortable </li></ul><ul><li>Straddling thick and virile horses with one another - also known as engaging in group sex; plenty of women, one male </li></ul><ul><li>Stretching our mouths open as wide as we can possibly get them, as a group - we all participate in oral sex together: one object, many mouths </li></ul><ul><li>Getting wet and fondling ourselves - we love to sweat, pour water over our bodies and rub ourselves down </li></ul>
  15. 15. Just what exactly are we intending to teach our children through all these negative advertisements? children are developing skewed misconceptions of what femininity is all about. <ul><li>“ It can happen anywhere.” </li></ul><ul><li>Women are willing to endure having the pain of a steering-wheel engrave itself into theirs backs, all because the “axe effect” renders us submissive to the power of man. </li></ul>
  16. 16. A personal favourite: <ul><li>Women are able to endure being defecated on by birds as an excuse to get dirty. We want desperately to jump in the shower with a man. His smell is so irresistible and our sexual desire is so uncontrollably strong that we will allow pigeons to eat off of us; we’ll stuff them with food until they feel several urges to defecate; we are looking for any excuse to be so dirty for men. </li></ul>
  17. 17. The main problem? <ul><li>Through these advertisements, children learn how to behave amongst the opposite sex. Children also learn about what the opposite sex expects and desires from us, and how we should in turn expect to be treated by them. We are only desirable if we are half-naked, heavily made up, thin yet fully-chested. </li></ul>
  18. 18. <ul><li>Women should be able to engage in one-night-stands without feeling remorse for it, men shouldn’t be chastised for forgetting your name the next day, men love sensual women even more, men love how there should be more sensual women around... </li></ul>The problem with the portrayal of these images is the lack of depth that the minds of children engage into when they are viewing the advertisements. They subconsciously believe that the messages are REAL.
  19. 19. <ul><li>If children are primarily learning about the opposite sex (as well as their own sex) through gender misconceptions, the results can be psychically and emotionally damaging for both parties. </li></ul>This isn’t what all men want, but how are children supposed to think otherwise?
  20. 20. Children will be learning <ul><li>dangerous social mannerisms </li></ul>
  21. 21. they will construct their own codes of conduct <ul><li>through the negative portrayals of the “needs” and “wants” of females and males. </li></ul>
  22. 22. Does Axe realize that it often promotes violence towards women? <ul><li>Why are women risking physical and emotional abuse for sex? </li></ul>
  23. 23. <ul><li>Where does social injustice end? </li></ul>
  24. 24. <ul><li>for the sake of advertisement. </li></ul><ul><li>This woman truly embodies what being pregnant is all about: looking ready to engage in more sex! </li></ul>When women stop being sexually exploited
