What started off as a class project has turned into Youtube hit.
Three students in a women’s studies class created a video about women in advertising, specifically those that featured women in sexualized and degrading positions. Then, the students flipped those images to see how an audience would react to men depicted in the same way.
The video was designed to force its audience to think about how gender is portrayed in the media.
"When Kayla, Dylan, and Sarah showed their video we all gasped, and I think the whole room really felt how their message so perfectly fit with the images and the way that they staged the second set of images,” said Rachel Loewen Walker, the professor in charge of the class.
The video got half a million hits in a week, and has more than 1,500 likes.
