In Episode #2 John Berger states, “To be naked is to be oneself. To be nude is to be seen naked by others yet not recognized as one self.”  He points out his personal opinion on how women were viewed in European paintings. He explains to us that being viewed naked was to simply be without clothes vs when you’re nude your being used as an object to men. In todays society his views are still being shown. Heard of the FREE THE NIPPLE MOVEMENT?! Well if you haven’t it’s a campaign to protest against women equality. Just as Berger says society has us women growing up with the importance on how we appear to others and in particularly to men, creating a difference in nudity between the both. Although both men and both have breast being naked in our society is a huge problem. For example a man can be naked as he goes for a jog but a women can’t be naked in public as she breastfeeds her child. As women we can’t be naked in front of men because we are viewed as sexual objects.
