Representations of women today do not and do objectify them in similar ways as what Berger argues about women depicted in Renaissance paintings. Technology has developed so advanced that women have self-control and choose what they want to paint themselves as. They are in control of how they depict their image. During the Renaissance, women looked for men to paint them how they want them to. The nude paintings of women depict the way of women views their images in a certain society. Even though women have more self-respect, they sometimes do objectify themselves in similar ways as what Berger argues about women depicted in Renaissance paintings. Women nowadays look for attention and are willing to do anything for it. There are many social media and websites that pay women to be nude and show off their bodies to the world. If women do not feel that attention from men on the street they would find different ways to receive it. Women have control over their images in the media because they choose to make sure men do not control them, but they desperately need that attention.
