Trainer’s notes
In the Mirror on the Media Advertising research conducted by GL female participants felt that the advert portrays animals as better than women. They felt unappreciated as the message is that an animal is better than a “nagging wife.” They observed that the woman in the advert has a squeaky irritating voice while the man is calm and composed. Male participants had difficulty interpreting the advert at first. They only got the gist of the message after a re-play. They were of the feeling that the advert is gender insensitive as it portrays men as being in command of the universe. They felt that women are portrayed as victims who can be done away with anytime. The men, however, felt that men were also being unfairly stereotyped as not valuing women which they felt is not the case. The advert is a good example of a blatant stereotype of the nagging wife. The language and context of this advertisement is demeaning and humiliating.
