Misogyny- Applied in the Past
I found this article recently, depicting the current standards of women and the supposed ideal body image as it is placed on to the classical interpretations of beauty in paintings during the Renaissance Era. What I found interesting was the idea that such paintings need to be altered in order for people to see them as beautiful. Personally I feel that different people have different types of interpretations of beauty and its nonsensical to me that media has basically stated that not only is this the ideal beauty but that this is what we as people consider beauty. Also, this article could contribute to the two presentations done by Katie and Areli which went into detail about looks and body image.

I do agree with you Jendri that different people have different interpretations of beauty. The media portrays to us that the most handsome fellas are the ones with the nice body, smile , and hair while the most beautiful women are the ones with a light skin tone, nice fitted body, and a nice smile. This can play a big part of influencing people to figure out what type of people they like but then it can also test out how strong people are individually. Whether they would be influenced easily or stand firmly in what they believe in.
