Gender makes the world go round. It affects everything we do - what we wear, how we behave, how we relate to other people, and, importantly for brands, it affects what we buy, why we buy and how we buy. This short slideshow will give you an idea of how important it is to recognise how your brand is using gender.

Notes de l'éditeur
- Women are changing. And if brands are to succeed in getting their attention, advertisers need to change too.We’ll help you understand gender and how it works – and show you how to create a new communication paradigm based on the way women see , think and feel today. You’ll learn how to use this knowledge to gain an edge of your competitors who are still still very much in the past and restricted by unconscious preconceptions and gender blindness.
- Gender refers to the roles and responsibilities of men and women that are created in our families, societies and our cultures. The concept of gender also includes the expectations held about the characteristics, aptitudes and likely behaviors of both men and women (femininity and masculinity). These roles and expectations are learned, They can change over time and they vary within and between cultures, The concept of gender is vital because it facilities gender analysis revealing how women’s subordination is socially constructed, As, such, the subordination can be changed or ended, It is not biologically predetermined nor is it fixed forever. Because gender is so pervasive, we need to aknowledge and understand how men and women are affected by it and work with it when we create advertising and marketing that works
- You would never see car = masculine man = feminineBut you do see vice versa
- Well we all know that men and women do behave differently and we’re going to look at a few examples of this now. These differences have practical implications for the way men and women absorb, engage and respond to communication.
- Because gender affects how we relate to brands, the relationship needs to be defined
- However horny they might feel, sex is the last thing that’s on women’s mind, the insight might be true, men will be totally unaware of it but it’s just inappropriate Picked out two insights from ressearch – on one hand the impulse is to say these ads are quite brave but on the other, what’s it saying to young girls – it’s denying femininity and turning it into something fit for male consumption, that’s acceptable for a man. Here we see periods both sanitised and sexualised.
- Where women are told that they can have it all…and do it all. Including behaving like a porn star. And increasingly we see incredibly masculinised porn culture slipping into mainstream advertising. Men and women who produced this sort of advertising would have a hard time arguing that they’d produced these ads in the best interests of women.The male gaze occurs when the audience, or viewer, is put into the perspective of a heterosexual male. the dominant male gaze in mainstream films reflects and satisfies the male unconscious: most filmmakers are male, thus the voyeuristic gaze of the camera is male; male characters make women the objects of their gaze; and inevitably, the spectator’s gaze reflects the voyeuristic male gazes of the camera and the male actors.Mulvey argued that women often enjoy the attention of attracting the gaze, and put themselves in positions to be looked at. The male gaze expresses an unequal power relationship between the viewer and viewed, or the gazer and the gazed. Masculinity is connected with the organizing logic of the gaze, whereas femininity is associated with fragmentation, lack, and passion associated with the object of the gaze.This is at the expense of creating advertising that speaks to women on their terms.In both these ads the woman is an object ‘in’ the ad instead of the ‘subject’ of the ad.The ads do raise uncomfortable issues and not all women agree they are liberating. When Spanish government weighed in, demanding that Dolce & Gabbana pull its “fantasy rape” advertisement in a country where headlines about violence against women are all too common. The designers at the fashion house, based in Milan, relented, but not before observing in the Italian press that Spain was “a bit behind the times” and that the ads were artistic in nature.

- 4.0 out of 5 stars A Feminine Revolution 30 Aug 2012 By Shelf LifeAmazon review: “After buying the pens I noticed a silvery blue light coming from my desk. The pens were glowing, ethereal, like an aura of woman was pulsating from their inner ink tubes. I looked out of the window, and sure enough a full moon was glowing. Just as the moon affects the tides which draw our menstrual cycles around, the Cristal BiC were responding with an unworldly glow to the feminine mystery of the moon. I swept them into my hands and wrote job applications to be a model, responded to dating ads and wrote letters to long lost family. All of them were successful. I now have a handsome partner, am admired for my looks, have lots of friends to have brunch with and am more sexually satisfied than ever.Which is why once a month you will hear me loud and clear shouting, nay rejoicing at the moon: "I am a BiC Cristal owner: I AM WOMAN!"Would have been five stars but the packaging's quite hard to get into without a man around. 4/5”
