This advert again promotes the dominate ideology that women are meant to do housework as referred to in this advert hence the women doing the shopping and being asked about the type of washing powder she uses. One reason being that a man is not asked about the type of powder which is used is obviously due to the fact that men would then in that time period have a clue what type or brand of powder is used.
This Coca Cola advert shows how there is a role reversal - as women are being portrayed to be more sophisticated and have a well paid job. Hence, the male figure is being shown as having a very petty job which is a builder. The women are seen to be given more responsibility than in other adverts.

This advert portrays the women again to be the female sex object however in a more intellectual way. She is firstly seen as reading a book and travelling by train hence showing how independent women are now becoming. Throughout the advert the women is given a responsible role to look after the bar of chocolate hence this fits in with her typical expectations of being the carer and nurturer. At the end of the advert the female central protagonist plays the leading role where she pulls the man forward and leans in for a kiss.
At the end of the advert when she does manage to eat the maltesers it shows that women are equal in society - and whatever a man can do and women can also do. Throught this advert is can be inferred that women are now becoming more independent, unlike being the typical housewife staying at home cooking and cleaning.
