The caption below the YouTube preview for this film reads, "Jean Kilbourne takes a fresh look at how advertising traffics in distorted and destructive ideals of femininity. The film marshals a range of new print and television advertisements to lay bare a stunning pattern of damaging gender stereotypes." The film also explores the increasing objectification of men in the media and the damaging implications of such objectifications. The film is a useful means of entering a conversation about the kinds of gendered representations propagated by the media, the pervasiveness of those representations and just how deeply those representations penetrate our understandings of each other.
