The ad I've pictured here displays the concept rather bluntly. Although it's an ad for vegetarianism and it's supposed to be relating cows to something positive and attractive that you wouldn't want to eat, in the process it degrades women to nothing more than meat. It implies that women are simply another animal. As a vegetarian, I understand what the ad's attempting to state, but the actual effect of the ad I think is quite different (and much more negative) than what was intended.
