A. "For on the very few occasions when women are pictured taller than men, the men seem almost always to be not only subordinated in social class status, but also thoroughly costumed as craft-bound servitors" (Goffman 28). This quote really stood out to me because if you notice in television or in any type of advertisement it is rare to see a short male next to a tall female. I mean it is almost unheard of in any sort of advertisement to see men being the shorter breed. I think the reason for that is because men are usually looked upon as being superior and a protector. We are so use to seeing men being tall and handsome in an advertisement that it became the norm. when we dont see that then its most likely that we wouldnt buy the product that they are trying to advertise because it wouldnt interest us or catch our attention.
