Adverts featuring women constantly had the recurring theme of sexualising women and looking a certain way to attract men or focusing solely on domestic work. Women have been objectified and in plenty of advertisements, they try to present what an "ideal woman" must look like and must do which gives men the impression that that's what they should be expecting.
