Body Cropping
“Woman’s bodies continue to be dismembered in advertising. Over and over again just one part of the body is used to sell products, which is one of the most dehumanizing thing you can do to someone. Not only is she a thing, but just one part of that thing is focused on.”
Jean Kilbourne

Turning women into objects is the first step towards justifying violence against women
Sex as a tool to get what they want.
Hypersexual messages
Self Esteem plummets.
“Women are constantly turned into things, into objects. This has a very serious consequence.
It creates a climate in which there is wide spread violence against a women. Women are seen as things, objects, and turning a human being into a thing is first step toward justifying violence.”
Jean Kilbourne

4 out of 5 women are dissatisfied with their
bodies.
Almost ½ of American women are on a diet

Eating has become a moral issue
• Americans spend $36 billion dollars on diet supplies.
• Words such as “guilt” and “sin” are used to sell food.
• 95% of dieters will regain the weight they lost within 5 years.
Magazines filled with articles on rich foods and recipes and how to lose weight
