Gendered Bodies: Gender Codes and their Effects
Do the forthcoming images convey a message?
How do these models hold their bodies? Do you see a difference between women and men, in terms of body stance?  Attitude? Is there a feeling that the photos exude?
Is this a normal posture?  Is it a comfortable way to stand?
Look at some of the contrasts between ways that women and men are (differently) posed and portrayed: Who has clothes on?   Who touches themselves?   Who stands sturdily on two feet, looking ready to take on the world?   Who cocks their body, crooks elbows, cants knees, looks off-balance?   Who is aggressively taking on the world? Who is reclining, kneeling, inviting?
What message(s) (do)es body positioning and other visual markers convey? Is there a social and psychological effect when such imagery becomes normalized, even conventional?
