In advertisements, women are much more likely to be posed in strange, demeaning, and uncomfortable positions than they are to be posed in empowering ways. When posed next to a man in particular it is easy to notice that the man if often standing tall and powerfully while the woman is typically smaller and weaker than the man. In this post you will see many videos, articles, and pictures of advertisements that highlight this issue.

8. This Miu Miu ad is a perfect example of over-sexualizing young girls. This is weird scene where this young girl looks almost kidnapped in a small room all alone posing strangely and powerless on the floor highlights many problems.
