		<description>&quot;This old CoverGirl lipstick ad, found here, illustrates the infantilization of women we often see in ads-women (provocatively) licking ice cream cones, eating fruit, and so on. Thanks to Krystal-lynn M. for sending it in!&quot;

I don&#039;t know about that. I think they specifically chose ice cream and fruit because they aren&#039;t complicated foods. Also because it&#039;s a good way to exaggerate the color of the lipstick since ice cream and fruits can be the color of the product. There&#039;s one there where it looks like she&#039;s eating a quesadilla or something...I focused on it and thought, &quot;Ew...I don&#039;t wanna see a close up of someone&#039;s mouth as they eat that.&quot; Which is why I think they choose &quot;cute&quot; foods. Plus if she was eating a burger or something else I would think of the lipstick as it gets smudged by the act of eating. If it&#039;s something that&#039;s easy to get in the mouth like ice cream or fruit I don&#039;t get that idea so much. But with a quesadilla I keep thinking the cheese will ooze out and ruin the lipstick. 

Also, the last one is a bubble blower I know...but at first I thought it was a key and I was like &quot;ew, don&#039;t put a key next to your mouth...&quot;</description>

		<description>I think it negates women&#039;s desires and puts them in their place which is to gawk at the phallus.  So much that they can&#039;t remember how to function.  I think the phallus involves the unconscious morbid fascination with death that many men have.</description>

		<description>How is the first ad infantilizing women? I can see it as dehumanising, since only the woman&#039;s sexy sexy-times mouth is displayed in pose after pseudo-sexy pose, but nothing in the image or the commentary explains what is childlike about it. Do adults not eat fruit? Is there something I&#039;m missing?</description>

		<description>You missed one other trend: they are portrayed as slightly more realistic manikins - stiff, unmoving, mindless, emotionless, but &#039;living&#039;.  Notice that the fembot in the ads for that alcohol you showed recently had more &#039;life&#039; to it than many fashion models exhibit.</description>
