> "Berger asserts that only twenty or thirty nudes in the European oil painting tradition depict a woman as herself rather than as a subject of male idealisation or desire."
I fully agree. Now, could you explain what is the problem with that?
- archagon 2y agoIf you care to do some reading: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Male_gaze https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Male_gaze
- benterix 2y agoI started reading but there is a lot of content with little substance and repeated phrases, with some debatable opinions like "because the woman does not have a penis, her female presence provokes sexual insecurity in the unconscious of the male, wherein women are passive recipients of male objectification." Could you point out what is actually wrong with one person being attracted by another person?
