Licensed Withdrawal
Licensed Withdrawal is the physical depiction of a person, typically a woman, presented in such a way that makes them appear inattentive or "spaced out." They also have a tendency to appear excessively in tune with their emotions and body language.

Image Example
All five women in this advertisement for Long’s School of Dance appear to be looking out and away from the camera. While one of the women is smiling, the others look as if they aren’t really focused on anything or anyone. This makes them look spaced out and inattentive. If this were an ad with men we can assume that they would be facing the camera and making eye contact. This is a common theme in most advertisements involving women. The most common tell that can be seen is usually facial expressions, or the lack thereof. This is exemplified in this ad especially as none of the women seem to have any emotion on their faces except for one. While this advertisement shows just one display of licensed withdrawal, it commonly appears in many other situations including: t.v. shows, movies, magazines, newspapers, and other media.
