Blog post #2- Wendy Figureo

When Berger interviews the woman, she says “all the paintings you have shown are what is called idealized…very unreal” I think the same as her because in reality these images are all the same, the main objective is that a man looks at her with morbid curiosity and idealize that all women should be as they look in the paintings, that is to say; meek, completely perfect and without any pubic hair. Today’s women are not sexualized in the same way as Berger says they were in the Renaissance paintings, they have no limitations in their physique and they are very clear that they do not need to attract the attention of a man because now they have more important objectives than just getting married. They have control of their images in the media, they upload what they want regardless of who looks at them or the way they are looked at. And sexuality does not play the same role in women’s images nowadays, this can only change if they want it to.
