Does gender advertisement work? Do males/females that see these ads believe that if they buy that product they will be like that? Maybe mention how a lot of ads that are designed portray to how buying that product will help you get the girl/guy? (ex: Axe Commercials) (Scriptgeek (talk) 14:42, 9 November 2011 (UTC))

This is a great article and it looks quite polished. Some ideas for (possible future) expansion could include other thinkers or commenters about gender advertisement. Although Erving Goffman is the key figure, there are many others that use his work and have expanded upon it. Best way to do this is go to Google Scholar, search for Goffman's work that you cite, then look underneath the link - it will say "cited by ###" (a huge amount of people). Dig through that a bit to see the breadth of work that has been influenced by Goffman. However, this is a great project on its own merit. Debaser42 (talk) 17:27, 1 December 2011 (UTC)
