Sexism in Advertising--What Do You Think? GOOD or BAD?

While this advertisement positively provides support and value to the work women accomplish in the home, it also furthers gender stereotypes by implying that women's sole worth is to raise children and by quantifying that worth at $43,461.

  1. Wow. I understand the positive message in this, but it always those hidden meanings that I am so sick and tired of seeing. Women are not just possessions. What I do not understand is why advertisers do this.
