Deconstructing Femininity in Contemporary Japan: A Commercial

Anyone have any feelings about this commercial? I know one can only read so much into any one commercial. While I found this commercial humorous, it was a little "awkward" to watch.

See what you think、見てください!




Here are some questions:
1. Women are attractive because they have high voices?
2. Do all beautiful women have high voices? (that's a different question than the first)
3. "Attractiveness" and "Desirability" are NOT the same thing: it is possible for a woman to be attractive but not desirable?
4. The idea of a woman having a low voice is not only undesirable, but actually scary.
5. More than any essentializing views of femininity, what does the commercial say about Masculinity?

  1. I think I would be weirded out by men with those voices too...

    And of course people can be attractive but not desirable. For me, charm has always been more important than physical attractiveness ;D
