The image of women it’s slowly vanishing from what it used to be all due to the result of technology and the rate in which information is being exchanged around the world. Nowadays women’s image is used by the mass media as a way of attraction for the consumers. In “ways of seeing”, Berger explains how the paintings of naked women portray an image of an object for male viewers as “being nude is to be seen naked by others and not seen as oneself but as an object, whereas being naked is to be oneself”. To an extent the representation of women today objectify them in the same way as what burger argues. However, they do not have control over their images in the media because it deals mainly with the perception of others and the manipulation of the content. Sexuality does play a big role in the image of women today given that society is allowing them to be more open about it with more of an acceptance attitude.
