Summary: In the article Sex, Lies, and Advertising by Gloria Steinmen, she explains how in women's advertising has many features that are continual trends. The airbrushing, photoshop, etc, according to Steinmen is liked by most women. Why else would it be featured in every ad? She argues that although people don't necessarily like the false looks featured in the ads, women are still attracted to that certain sense of fantasy.
Response: I understand Steinmen's stance on this certain subject, and how people are hypocritical on their stance on advertising. We live in a society where we look up at these fake people on billboards, yet complain because they aren't necessarily relatable.
