My point was that women in that period would presumably have been more inhibited about how they behaved with men around because of the social norms at the time. Certainly in contrast to how women in Western countries now tend to dress & behave if you visit a nightclub! I'm just saying we've seen, in a fairly short space of time, quite a change in how women dress & act. <BR/><BR/>Although I think the wesst, if anything, has gone too far in the other direction where there is a lot of pressure to appeal to men. You can see this in some of the fashions that are clearly designed to maximise attractiveness to the opposite gender. Although men are more insulated from this pressure.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7515713317068251331.post-87899164855721810852008-11-04T13:51:00.000+13:002008-11-04T13:51:00.000+13:00um, why? i'd rather it says that the male gaze an...um, why? i'd rather it says that the male gaze and being physically pleasing to all men all the time is not important.<BR/><BR/>victorian england? did they have women's parties in victorian england where everyone got to take off their corsets and hoops, and just relax and have a good time? can't see the parallel, sorry.stargazerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00430290445762377335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7515713317068251331.post-16510784580277178442008-11-04T12:25:00.000+13:002008-11-04T12:25:00.000+13:00"and i think it only works so well because of..."and i think it only works so well because of the total absence of males."<BR/><BR/>Doesn't this say something about having a culture or religion that encourages women to cover up generally stargazer? I mean the same thing would presumably have applied in Victorian england when women were expected to behave in a certain way & wear certain clothes. Do you think this will ever change?
