He moved to Boston where he joined the elite class called the Brahmins where he would meet close allies and future foes. Here he met Samuel Warren, a good friend and business partner. The two of them opened a law firm together Warren and Brandeis.

McCabe persuades the reader into thinking that sex in advertising is no big deal, while Carroll explains why this is a major problem in America.

In Men’s Men and Women’s Women, Steve Craig, an author, claims that “advertisers seem quite willing to manipulate … fantasies and exploit our anxieties, especially those concerning our gender identities.” However, Stan Hope disagrees since he assumes that “the ads he describes are just light hearted to stories designed to entertain, rather than exploit.

However, advertisers should think carefully about gender identities because men and women’s favors are different.

When advertising emerged in the 19th century, sex was already being used as a tool to sell products, services or brands. The advertisements usually feature an image of a beautiful woman or man who is either nude or even suggestively sexual, which typically has no connection to the product being advertised. Advertisers know that good-looking models in advertisements serve as a reason to buy the brand.
