Killing Us Softly 4 (2010)
In this update of her pioneering Killing Us Softly series, Jean Kilbourne takes a fresh look at how advertising traffics in distorted and destructive ideals of femininity. Killing Us Softly 4 stands to challenge a new generation of students to take advertising seriously, and to think critically about popular culture and its relationship to sexism, eating disorders, and gender violence.
Jean Kilbourne, Ed.D. is internationally recognized for her groundbreaking work on the image of women in advertising and for her critical studies of alcohol and tobacco advertising. In the late 1960s she began her exploration of the connection between advertising and several public health issues, including violence against women, eating disorders, and addiction, and launched a movement to promote media literacy as a way to prevent these problems. Kilbourne is the creator of the renowned Killing Us Softly: Advertising’s Image of Women film series and the author of the award-winning book Can’t Buy My Love: How Advertising Changes the Way We Think and Feel and co-author of So Sexy So Soon: The New Sexualized Childhood and What Parents Can Do to Protect Their Kids.

Trigger Warning: Rape
This is an actual ad from a Christian church down south. They are advocating to replace the word “rape” with “unwanted sexual experience” or U.S.E to decrease people terminating pregnancies due to rape. This is real, this is not a joke.
File under “additional reasons why I am an atheist”.
Thought I got over this phase but
I want to burn this fucking church down.
Excuse me?
No. Really? Excuse me?
That’s fucked up beyond belief. If there is a god, and Xe loves me as much as Xe says, then Xe wouldn’t make RAPE a part of his plan for me. I was RAPED when I was 8 years old. You’re telling me your god planned that? Your god decided it was a good idea to rape children? If so, your god is just as fucked up and twisted as you are.
By the way, fuck you.
IT’S FAKE! I don’t think my heart could’ve handled it being real.

I remember seeing this ad in a course. Soap that can get things so imperially white - that it can even scrub off that pesky dark skin…
