El debate de Ingles

The debate our class had over Jean Kilbourne's Two Ways a Woman Can Get Hurt, was interesting. I definantely got a perspective of some of my fellow classmates' vantage point of Killbourne's arguement. I understood a certain point about how Kilbourne doesn't really talk about how men are also exploited and objectified. I actually kind of agree with what he was saying because Kilbourne doesn't really acknowledge men and how they are objectified, she focus's on that for like a sentence. But I don't think that was the point of her argument, so that's where I have to disagree with that. She was saying that though men are objectified, women are more than men. Ads portray men overpowering women a lot more with slogans and pictures that encourage violence through physical abuse and rape.
Another point was made about how none of this even mattered and that these ads don't influence people what so ever. But that's not true, the true examples Kilbourne used about the girl's legs being rubbed to check and see if she was shaving, and the girl who was held down by boys who simulated sex. Maybe if people don't sit there and stare at the ads for like an hour doesn't mean they are being affected by it. When a person sees something over and over sometimes they think it might be okay. There was an ad that Kilbourne used about this guy who had all these girl's on him. Like even though someone might not think about it, a lot of guys that I know are like this. They either cheat all the time or have this idea of being a player to be like a real man.
I felt that this debate was important to have, but at the same time people need to stop getting so hostile during them. I was like well dang! I kind of got tired of the subject towards the end because people kept reiterating the same points.
