Keep in mind this is about your impressions of general readers, not just your personal opinion of characters.

Somewhat relatedly, I found this comment that really made me happy, since it means my reading of male gaze into the "Maidenform" episode of this season's Mad Men was not off. I really think you people who like some of these issues in ASOIAF like I do would love Mad Men; Betty, Joan, and Peggy are three priceless female characters who together cover so so many issues that sadly still stay invisible in our reality fifty years down the road. Seriously, whenever ASOIAF fandom makes me o_O I go find sane people in Mad Men comms, it's ever so nice.
PS I am really really really really really really really really really sick of male gaze.
PPS Since I am so sick of it, have this too.

Its not selling sex per se, but the idea of being sexy, being wanted. Most fashion advertising appeals to what Maslow called "self-actualization," when consuming a product or performing an activity is considered an expression of who you are as a person. One is supposed to see themselves in the models (LOL, right?!) and associate not only the product, but more importantly, the brand with outwardly expressing who they feel they truly are-desirable, sensual beings.
