The total nude pictures are also common. The men on the other hand are shown in decent dressing displaying an elegant style. The women are asked to take closer shots than the men. The women are not only hired and casted nude in the ads of women personal care products but also the men related items and services.
7. Mock Assault Games
Even in the groups where there are more men than women, the women are mocked more for their gender related stupidity, nudity and physical weakness. They are treated as representatives of female gender not mere human beings.
8. Licensed Withdrawal
The women are often portrayed to engage in activities that can uproot them emotionally from the environment and they daydream. This leads to disoriented behavior at workplace and at the social gatherings. They are often found to turn gaze while talking, often they ask to repeat what is said. They would often talk on phone while sitting gathering that shows how disoriented they are.
Figure 5: Women in Australian Science Media Center ad (National Media Briefing, 2010)
The disoriented behavior shown in the ads leads to conclude that the women escape from reality to find pleasure in imagining that they are somewhere else. This shows lack of confidence and trust in themselves as well as the society.
9. The Masculine Hold
The hold of men is not only shown stronger in Europe and America but the Australian men are also shown to have more firm and solid hold that displays their confidence and domination. The men use to hold things not simply touch them, in shops, while walking, sitting or making decisions, the men are found to hold things in hand while the women simply touch items in shops and homes and are satisfied without holding.
Figure 6: Australian Red's Center (Get your summer started, 2013)
The women are shown to lose energy with aging but the hold and authority of man is shown not to fade ever. This is a contradiction between gender perceptions with aging.
10. The Feminine Touch
The women are directed in ads to touch things fingers rather holding them in full hands. They simply feel the outline of the object a not the object as a whole. They are shown to have least concern with the mass and other features but they emphasize on their delicacy that does not allow them to hold things fast.

11. The Protector and the Protected
The gender stereotyping of women in ads also include that they are mostly dependent in need of protection by offered by men. The investigation of categorizing focuses such that use of hands, feet, gestures and selection of words shows that women are dependent on men as the picture shown below:
Figure 8: Australian Ticketek Ad (Fleetwood Mac, 2013)
All the men shown in the ad are standing on their own without showing dependency on any other in the group but the woman is showing unique style where she is seeking help, protection and support from the man.
12. Head Eye Aversion
The angle and position of eyes and head tell a lot about the state of mind. The tilt head means suppressed feelings and a state of being depressed. The female models girls are shown with a tilt head as a symbol of beauty and attractiveness. However Goffman finds it to be a symbol of being suppressed and dominated by the other gender. The women are depicted with tilt head in public to show that they have fear of gatherings and socializing.
Figure 9: National Library of Australia ad (Marina 2010)
13. Infantilisation
The women are pictured in ads as ones that want to be as delicate as a child. The women like the ad below are attracted by telling them that they can have delicacy and softness of a child. The child's skin and innocence is advertised as attributes related to women. The women are not shown to have any interest in the factors that relate to their age like wisdom, work, socializing, decision making and understanding.

While men are interested to show themselves and fashion themselves as elder than their age, the women want the opposite. Hiding their age and seeking to buy products...

76). As automation increasingly assumes the more mundane and routine aspects of work of all types, Drucker was visionary in his assessment of how decisions would be made in the years to come. "In the future," said Drucker, "it was possible that all employment would be managerial in nature, and we would then have progressed from a society of labor to a society of management" (Witzel, p. 76).
