Gender roles in the advertising content of Spanish high-end women's magazines, their association with restrictive female body patterns and the real woman's perception of this phenomenon

Abstract

Real women are aware of how the female body pattern that exhibits a model in advertising does not only contain aesthetic dimensions that affect and affect their body, but based on this the woman will be attributed different social roles that will impact on the female universe that is reflected in every scene of advertising fiction. Thus, the restrictive corporal patterns, PCE, will introduce women dedicated to singleness, idle, high social class, exempt from work, as well as housework and motherhood; while the non-strict corporal patterns, PCNE, will take hold over women's models in which motherhood and housework, as well as the private sphere will be very present, which will be represented circumscribed to the middle class and in the one that the work does have a place.
