Bergers central point in episode two was that even in art women were labeled as objects to the viewer. The difference between nudity is when there appears to be an audience or some sort of viewer while being naked is when you’re alone in your own skin within yourself. Men were depicted as the more dominant ones basically implying that it didn’t matter what the women wanted. Through these works of art there was an image being portrayed. The image was women weren’t see for their thoughts or personality , but for the desire of a man. A point that Berger made was that women ultimately get judged for pampering themselves too much or self confident when that’s what men criticize women about. This was significant to me because being from the black community constantly on social media a lot of African American women are judged when they wear their natural kinky hair. The controversy comes in place when they try to get the look that society seems to say is good hair. Wigs and weaves are talked down by the media, but isn’t that the “look” that is praised? A Lot of these things don’t make sense, but will there ever be a time that certain ethnic groups won’t be criticized for being there self.
