Great comment from Miss Violet on our recent post on Bondage in Fashion.
Being hog-tied to your shoes makes it hard to walk down a runway.
She looks scared and abused, not strong and capable. its no secret that women have often been sold as bound and gagged, under aged or desperately hiding age, embarassingly passive and submissive, and placed in large glossy print ads often scaling buildings to overlook the modern woman and to tell her what is beauty.
Politics aimed at controlling the masses often use the same tactics. take away knowledge that they could make decisions on their own and they loose ability to choose. convince them there is only one way to succeed and that they need to be constantly regulated to avoid chaos. bombard a society with images of what they want a woman to look like and suddenly what isn’t created in their image is discusting.
I agree with you, i’d rather see ads that show a woman that is capable of making her own decisions, defiant and looking above the age of 18 if they’re going to be in sexual positions. ms.crotch-in-the-air is not helping me buy things.
