Reader Response 6

I do not really know how I feel about Lantry's article, not the article in itself, but the ads. I think the reading is very helpful for the paper that we are doing though. I think that the ads make it seem like women need to do all these things just to find a husband or lover. It makes it seem like that is the only thing a woman should worry about in her life, granted, these are old ads and that is really all women did back in the day. I still think it is wrong. I think that women should be free to do what they want and not have getting married be their only worry. I also think it is really terrible that they try to push that idea into girls minds as well, they should have fun and not worry about boys. This really explains why girls are the way they are at such a young age. Girls think they need to wear make-up and inappropriate clothing to impress boys. Now, even though I feel this way about the ads, I still think they use this idea in a great way to sell their product. Girls and women are always looking for ways to look better and make men and boys want them. This will always be a concern to women, so if you incorporate into your ad you will most likely always have buyers.
