Argument #1- Kilbourne- What is Kilbourne's Argument? What is she advocating for?

   I personally really liked Kilbourne's argument. I really think woman have been portrayed as being too fat or being the only ones in the kitchen doing the work around the house. She said "What it meant to be a woman. Kilbourne clearly states that in one of the ads it said, "Feminine odor is everyone's problem." This clearly states that women used to be portrayed as dirty and everyone's problem. Women really were looked down on in these days. Kilbourne says that women have to stay "Impossibly young." She is saying that in order for women to be beautiful in these ads they have to be young. Then, she goes on to say that, "Men are photo shopped bigger." She is saying that in these ads men are always made bigger then what they are. While women are made smaller.

Also, the significance is that they are pulling in that many people feel as if their name is an inconvenience so they are drawling an emotion grab on the readers. "I wanted to be a kid with a name that didn't draw so much attention, a name that didn't come with a built in inquisition as to when and why I had moved to America and how was it I spoke English without an accent and was I planning on going back and what did I think of America". - I think that this quote has significance in a way that the American people do ask questions when immigrant people do come to America and really just overwhelm the people.
