Document Summary

And the vilification for making the being a slut. The body project: book by joan brumberg, looks at the diaries from the past 100 years, purpose to figure out if body has always been the focus. In late 1800s the body is not the focus but rather self-fulfillment and internal. In 1900s the body becomes the focus: body has become a consciously marketed product, girls consciously watch their body to meet a certain standard (i. e. weight, makeup, hair) Marketing to young girls: young girls products are rooted in misogyny, all products are sexualized, examples in slides, young girls don"t have the ability to recognize the messages behinds these products. If you silence your desire, you become disembodied enthusiastically say yes: embodied male sexuality leads to empowered young men, which is not provided to young women, access to positive conceptions of a pleasure-seeking masculinity sexuality.
