The museum was interesting.
I liked the exhibit because it showed how women were suppressed in American culture and how these women broke out of the mold. I liked the area that showed the advertisements with the "what the advertisement was really selling" on top. It really made you realize what advertisements are really used for. For example, any beer commercial with a female in it... they are always appealing to the men, are there (as many) commercials with (hot) males trying to sell women things? No, we have the easy off bam man. Wahoo cleaning supplies!! (Sarcastic!)
I liked the ideas that the women had about artwork. They took things that are usually thought of to be "womans work" and showed them in their purest form... like the stairs made out of rope or the wood floors with the mirrors. One thing that I didn't like was all of the nudity..and I know that "we are used to seeing naked women" but I would prefer to not see paintings of anyone naked... but that is more of a personal preference!
(I will blog about the reading further into the week!)

I loved your point about how women never see hot men in commercials, but instead get the east off bam man! It's such a good point and a funny way to stress it!
