The following video shows past advertisements that show a large amount of sexist gender representation. It pictures women in scenarios whereby they are represented to seam inferior to the men of the adverts. This is typical representation for the time that they were broadcasted.
The following video is an 'experiment' carried out on The Sun newspaper. Two years ago, when the experiment took place, The Sun had a page 3 dedicated to models, celebrities and style. It was notorious for having 'perfect' (often photoshopped) women wearing very revealing clothing. The experiment method was to buy the sun newspaper for 6 months and cut out all the men and women. Once all collected they are then put on a wall; men on the right, women on the left. Once complete there is a direct contrast between the men and women on page 3. For a newspaper that is supposedly known for sport, there is not one women doing sport. This raises the question whether media has complete moved on from the 1950s attitude to women.
