Pretty consistently in these ads, women don't exist independent of the male gaze. It's starting to freak me out.
US marketers used to hate women, they still do but they used to too. just the way they communicate power dynamics through images is quite something.
Women don't exist until acknowledged by and permitted to exist by an authoritative male figure. That's just Patriarchy 101.
