Many are aware of how some of the classical art/Renaissance paintings that depicted women in a crude way, but has it the objectification this day and age? Some people say that women are able to express themselves more freely as there is more variety and diversity than ever seen in historical media. Women can reach into their more creative side now more than ever which is a behavior that can bring joy and satisfaction. But I say that women are absolutely objectified now and even more so nowadays. With the modern era consisting of shocking advertisements in attempts to get as much attention or publicity as possible, in many ways, the female impression is under more control by the societal/male gaze than ever. Women are expected to keep up with the high expectations set by present-day media and culture (especially in the west). A long with an array of different shapes and shades is a hike up in getting women to become more “nude” as John Beger would put it. It has becomes the new normal to have an exterior perfect “nude” version of self because you’ll get more validation and reward in our current time. If a women were to be truly naked, she would get plunged into the valley of mediocrity/lower standards.
