In episode #2 of the series ways of seeing, John berger explains how western European nude art was viewed and perceived by the public, specially the male audience. Berger goes on to explain that being naked is to be yourself and to be nude is to be seeing by others and not perceived as one, rather to be nude sometimes it is to be objectified. Berger main point was to explain how nude art was made to principally suffice the desire of the male audience and how women were being objectified and how it defined the role of a women as if it was to mostl please the audience, the male audience.

Now days women suffer the same circumstances because many men look at women as an object to fulfill their desire, much more like an object and less like a human being with emotions, but as society progresses women start to be more and more independent and taking on roles who were predominantly and stereotypically are the roles a man is supposed take in society, such as entrepreneurs, construction work and even joining the police force. In today’s society even if there’s a long way to go,  women are viewed more equally and while still being objectified at times, it is much more less worse than before.
