Essay Summary of Representation of Women in Mens Magazines

The first point is wht the overall essay is about, the ssay states that men's magazines such as, Maxim, Loaded and FHM contain images of women which states the presence of the male gaze, these mages are simliar to the images in playboy mamgzines.

The second important point relate sto my study, the essay talks about masculinity, and that the target audience of these magazines are masucline men used by a quote which is previosuly posted on my blog.

Another point is that, the essay states, that mens magazines purely sell by the women in the magagznes, if women where to be posted in the magzgines as purely natural without make up and no enhanced clevages, the magazine wouldn't sell, this shows that the women theselves are the unique selling point.

The four point is about how the essay talks about the blokelash and the regaining of male dominance, which i have quoted in my blog peviously, the essay states that womens magazines are a form of way to put women back into their place after femininism.

The last point is about the selling of the magazine's FHM, Loaded and Maxim. These magazines sell millions of copies each year. This si because they are in touch with what their repective audience want as wella s employing a clever marketing technique in which the insituitions sell soft porn.
