Repersentation

Tide

 The mother obviously wanted the daughter's clothes to be ruined as she seems to want her daughter to like the color pink which is widely understood to be the color of femininity especially in young females. Its clear that the ad is trying to tell people how 'things should be' and that I will say that we should rise up and deny societies conformities and norms and be different and unique in our own way. But isn't that also an opinion, shouldn't people be allowed to have their own opinion of the way they think things should be?, if not then you are just a hypocrite. You say that people should think their own way and are free to believe anyone is amazing in their own way, but when people like this fake mother on a tv ad thinks the 'old way' we bash her? The mother has her own set ideals and favor of certain topics such as that a young female should wear pink. But in the end was the mother telling her daughter that she can't wear those clothes and took them away?, no she did not. Even the end of the ad says that style is an OPTION.

Axe

I have my own opinions about this ad and I will only share a few as I know there will be viewers who cannot accept my ideas and opinion on certain matters. I will not be discussing the 'body expectations' for I know my opinion will not be taken. When it comes to this ad involving beautiful women running through the wild exposing large portions of their bodies, it is painfully obvious and dehumanizing towards women that they are seen as just pieces of meat for 'big strong men to enjoy'. Perhaps Axe the company itself made it as a joke, but we do not know for sure. Putting it in terms of double standard if the roles were switched, I believe many men would not appreciate seeing them running around like animals shirtless, though I can also say without a doubt that some men too would find it funny. However I am not saying that women should take it as a joke but rather not to take it so seriously as it could have been intended as a joke.
