Its used female sexuality to draw the crowds. There"s a consist story about feminity and masculinity. Constructing feminity: what it means to be a man or man comes from stories and music videos make clear that what is most important about a woman is her sexuality. Women are presented as aggressors that wont take no for answer. Sexualizing women"s behavior even when men are not absent and that"s saying that men are absent women is nonexistent.

Find an ad that illustrates some construction of masculinity and briefly discuss it in this week's Forum.

As an example, view this spot about The Most Interesting Man in the World from Dos Equis which constructs masculinity using some fairly well-known stereotypes (e.g., conquering nature, conquering women, etc.).
