In ancient times the nude was seen as a symbol of beauty and perfection. However, in the Renaissance, they were always based on biblical passages. At the Renaissance, the nude began to be seen as something sexual and not so beautiful. They also started to see women as sexual objects, and, above all, they began to notice the aesthetic part. In my opinion, women have a social burden with the stereotype of how a woman should see herself. I feel that this society tends to judge our appearance and our actions. Instead, the man should not be careful how he dresses or what he does. Also, we think about how the other person can see us or what they can say most of the time. In some cultures, women must cover themselves from head to toe. However, in others, it is normal for them to dress, showing part of her body. It’s like John Beger said; it all depends on how you look at things. What may be seen as usual to me for other people can be unpleasant.
Furthermore, today’s woman is no longer interested in how men can see her. Society has ensured that there is competition between women. In other words, they have created a stereotype of beauty in women where physical appearance matters more than intelligence. In social media and television, there is a “perfect” type of woman. These have to be curvy, have big buttocks, and especially dress very sexy. This topic is a bit controversial. There is no longer the submissive woman of those times who always followed the man. In these times, women are more independent.
Interesting points here. So, now, this is more a matter of competition between women?
These days, women are more focused on what they do or how other women look. It is like a destructive impulse towards the other woman. The cruelest criticisms come from one woman to another.
