Nowadays not content to make the woman look stupid and glad to be bound to a servile role they "cut her up" into parts. Like meat presented in a buffet for the taking consuming using,urging the viewer to see nothing of the person just an object to be acquired and possessed. As in..


Women’s bodies are objectified in common ways. In the case of many popular ads, the objectification of the woman occurs through the association of her being with her breasts. A woman is told that she is no greater than her breast, and, similarly, men are told that the only thing that defines their being is their obsession with women's breasts. This is one of the most disturbing forms of objectification that is seen in popular advertising.

Female rumps, too, are cropping up all over. The Express Jeans ad showing a model's rump in Daisy Dukes - the very short shorts that ride one's buttocks - is both evocative and sensual.
