Many advertisements overlapped in each category because each category had something in common. They were all showing women in a negative or degrading way. Many of them demonstrated men in power positions and the men physically dominating the women. Women were dismembered, exposed, and objectified. They were compared to animals and they were silenced. In everyday these women were positioned to send the message that women are less than men and even less than human. This belief that men can control women is what leads to sexual violence. This violence is then turned into a category all it's own as if the behavior is acceptable, or according to our categories, it is romantic. Many ads are centered on the body instead of the mind of women. The unrealistic images of a woman's body inundates society and becomes the expected body size even though no one actually looks that way.
