According to John Berger, men do the seeing and judging whereas women are at the receiving end. Women are judged, looked at, and in turn judge themselves. Berger examines paintings of nudes, media, and society in pointing out the ways that women are seen by men. Their value and success in life depend on how they are perceived. Quite profound!
