Piety, Onslaught: Commercial Speech and Gender Inequality, 60 Case W. Rsrv. L. Rev. 47 (2009) Available at: https://scholarlycommons.law.case.edu/caselrev/vol60/iss1/4 This Article is brought to you for free and open access by the Student Journals at Case Western Reserve University School of Law Scholarly Commons. It has been accepted for inclusion in Case Western Reserve Law Review by an authorized administrator of Case Western Reserve University School of Law Scholarly Commons. ONSLAUGHT: COMMERCIAL SPEECH AND GENDER INEQUALITY Tamara R. Pietyt ABSTRACT Utilizing Dove's infamous "Onslaught" viral ad, this Article explores the ways commercial speech constructs images of and attitudes toward women that interfere with full equality for women. Advertising and marketing contribute to creating a social reality in which it is taken for granted that women must spend a great deal of time on appearance and that appearance is of critical importance to life success. As is typical for much advertising, it often does this by stimulating anxiety. Such anxiety may contribute to low self-esteem, lowered ambitions and stereotype threat reactions, as well as to biased reactions on the part of others-all of which may serve as obstacles to women achieving greater equality. The barrage of images which portray women as sexual objects or commodities also sends a message in some tension with full equality for women and may similarly lead to harmful self-conceptions on the part of women, as well as leading both men and women to view women as less competent.

  • From the Head of School
    From the Head of School December 2007/January 2008 Dateline: Johannesburg, South Africa My time in South Africa has left me asking Shakespeare’s question, ‘What’s in a name?’ I went seeking partnerships with the Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy for Girls and African Leadership Academy (ALA), two schools in Johannesburg that are committed to developing the next generation of African leaders. I went to forge relationships that will be beneficial to our school and to these two Leadership Academies. Castilleja’s global education initiatives will clearly be enhanced by these relationships, but what do we bring to the table? Make no mistake about it: I was asked that question often, beginning just a few hours after our 22-hour trip from San Francisco. That first night John and I went out to dinner with John’s longtime friend and colleagueCharlayne Hunter-Gault, until recently CNN’s bureau chief for South Africa, and her husband, business leader Ron Gault. After an invaluable orientation to the current social, political and economic climate of the city and country, they cut to the chase. “What makes you think you can help or that these schools will want your help?” It was a gentle but direct warning about the danger of coming across as ‘educational imperialists,’ a sensitive issue in a country that has only recently shaken off the shackles of white rule. Forewarned, I resolved to keep quiet about our 100 years of educating women to be leaders. As it turned out, I needn’t have worried, because Castilleja’s reputation preceded me, and the leaders at each Leadership Academy asked questions and sought my advice.
