Even though he thinks I don’t listen when he tells me that I don’t need makeup, that I am beautiful just the way I am, I do listen.

    Micheaux Ferdinand Reflective Essay #3 Brodsky SOC 333 Women, in Western Society, are culturally raised to view their bodies as a project to be worked on, however, this viewpoint can be dissected into two different arguments. By describing their bodies as a “project”, one can interpret that the body of female is being objectified and further the oppression of women by forcing them to take certain daily rituals, that waste time and money, to further the ideal of the “male gaze”. The opposing argument could be that teaching women to work on themselves can both allow them to express themselves, and help them become the best person they could be in life.
