Killing Us Softly is an effective documentary that reminds and takes attention to the role of women in media. Jean Kilbourne, who is the producer of the documentary, is a feminist and although this documentary is prepared from a feminist point of view, it really touches some important points. I agree most of the part of her speech,she is right to say that women are used as an "object" not a "subject". However, in today's world, the most important aim is to reach money and it is valid for all sectors. It shouldn't be seen unusual to use woman figure while selling a product, since they have to signalize it in order to sell. It is undoubtful that sexuality interests people and catches their attention. By the way, she is criticizing the media for using "women" as an object to sell their product, but she also uses "women figures" as objects for her documentary, that is her product. What a paradox is that!
