It is often said that the way women dress or act is to please someone. In Ways of Seeing, John Berger talks about paintings from many centuries ago and how they are portrayed in the painting as sexual objects, just to satisfy the man’s eye. Nowadays women have social media where they can post whatever they feel like it but behind the scenes of that photo is a big hassle. Women make sure that they take the right photo that makes them appear confident. This photo is just to please their audience which is her friends or followers. There isn’t much of a difference between now and back then, even if this was filmed in 1972 there hasn’t been much of a change women are trying to be confident and satisfy an audience.
