    Hegemonic masculinity in advertising Aspects of identity and of masculinity are intersectional, so in order to understand hegemonic masculinity it is important to analyse it in terms of race as well as gender. The key function of advertising is to sell something, whether it is a product, service, lifestyle or message. The majority of advertisements depict life either as ‘normal’ or as ideal, thus it is telling that white men feature more prominently and more positively than men of colour in both television (Luyt, 2012) and magazines (Thomas, 2013). That white masculinity is seen as the default or most desirable form of masculinity highlights the racial aspect of hegemonic masculinity. Luyt (2012) analysed South African television advertisements…

    Many people are not aware of how susceptible they are to the influences and subliminal messages found within advertising today. The truth is, teenagers as well as adults are numb to the fact that they are even being influenced by it, which is in turn manipulating them. One way these viewers and potential buyers are being drawn in to these advertisements are by companies promoting a favorite, even universal, technique: sex. In Jean Kilbourne 's essay, "Two Ways a Woman Can Get Hurt": Advertising and Violence, it is evident that sex in advertising is the primary approach used to negatively draw in viewers; however, this approach objectifies women, portrays women as weak and defenseless creatures in the eyes of men, as well as encouraging men…

    A wide variety of advertisements have been creating plentiful images of men and women for years now regarding gender roles and sex diversity. Ford (2008) explains the advertising industry in particular has formed the impression that “sex sells,” now using women’s bodies as sex objects. In addition to this, previous research has also shown men are being outstripped when it comes to women being sexualized (Ford, 2008). More importantly, the advertising industry has shown what the “accurate” gender roles for men and women are to be. Men are to be dominant, tough, strong, independent, and detached.…

    Kilbourne states the reason for producing ads like this is that, “The main goal, as in pornography, is usually power over another, either by the physical dominance or preferred status of men or what is seen as the exploitive power of female beauty and female sexuality,” (489). These violent ads are examples of how men have been given false ideas about what masculinity means, and how these false ideas are dangerous to…

    The Calvin Klein Jean ad shows a half-naked man draped over half-naked women both of the oiled up and twisting around each other, conveys an implied steamy twosome. Calvin Klein is known for their quality of clothing and their high status on the fashion runway. In the ads, they are known for their edginess. They are not shy about going out of the norms when it comes to making their adverts. It all started in 1980 with the Brooke Shields (a 15 year old girl) advert in 1980, with a punch line "Nothing comes between me and my class" One would argue that even though the ad is targeting a younger demographic there still needs to be a sense of responsiveness towards proper ethics.…

    According to Jane Marcellus, “Unoriginal ideas multiplied without thought, stereotypes limit our ability to see people, things, and ideas in nuanced ways” (“Stereotypes in Advertising” 125). For decades, America has been known as the land of opportunity, and now, more than ever, Americans live by the motto that stereotypes are meant to be broken: Women are CEOs of some of the most influential and successful companies in the world, 50-year-olds are giving birth to their first child, a black man just successfully lead our country as President of the United States for two consecutive terms, the list goes on. One place that stereotypes do not seem to have disappeared are advertisements. Advertisers utilize stereotypes because they are, “the fastest…

    Women will always try to measure up to be – or look like an image that is unattainable for even the model herself.

Men will then believe they are more than women are; example being “you throw like a girl” or “be a man about it”.
