I thought about this episode afterwards and how these women found it empowering to remove their clothes and in turn some of their insecurities and still find beauty.  The artists’ affirmed this beauty through their paintings and drawings.  The women’s self worth was directly related to how they see themselves as well as how others see them.

I wondered if men would find removing their clothing empowering.  I don’t think they would. Society doesn’t recognize men for being beautiful, it recognizes them for being financially successful or intellectually, or otherwise, accomplished.

A woman’s value in society is often related to her beauty. She is always being judged by her physical appearance. Men for the most part avoid this issue.

What do you think?
