Sexism is a serious issue that is part of the advertisements produced by numerous big companies in "big screens" but it can even be shown in the smallest and simpliest of "self-promoting" ads that people make in order to offer a product , service etc.
In the pictures shown above we can clearly see that these ads have some similarities. All three of them are promoting houses that can be rented but there is also another key-word in each one of them , which is of course that these people are offering their places for girls (presumably girl students).
These pictures were taken quite near A.Xhuvani's University but if you could just have a walk around the city ,you would be able to find ads like these everywhere. Most of these ads offering houses for rents have the same requirement , which is that the person who is willing to rent the place must be a girl. The problem that stands here is that there is also a decent number of male students that are in a search for a place to stay when university begins , every single year. The search for these male students is quite more difficult in comparison to the other gender mostly because owners have created the idea that boys (young man) aren't grown enough in order to be serious and look after a whole house by themselves. Of course that there are no graphic images or even insulting words in these ads that may offend these young men but the fact that they may even end up becoming college commuters can have a huge impact on their education and performance.
In my opinion these ads clearly show the minds of stereotypical people that are limiting the availability of their offers when they could just leave them to the whole group of people (without specifying any genders).
