Killing Us Softly 4: Advertising's Image of Women

I recently came across this fantastic documentary that discusses the objectification and sexualization of women in the media. Jean Kilbourne approaches the topic with years of experience in the topic, and presents an amazing look at the way our society portrays women. I recommend this as a must-watch for every woman. 
We should not aspire to be what these advertisements tell us a woman is. We are more than our bodies. We are more than an object to be ogled.
