Abstract: A 6 page discussion of the impact of gender-targeted advertising on society. This paper notes the discrepancies which exist in using females verses male models in certain segments of advertising but emphasizes that as disturbing as this discrepancy is there are even more disturbing aspects of gender-targeted advertising. One of the most disturbing is the tendency of advertising to target such intimate aspects of our lives as gender roles, our perception of our bodies, and even our sexual orientation. No sources are listed.
