Exactly.
If you read fem crit circa 1975 you'd know that treating women as
*objects* was exactly the problem. In mainstream art, men were people,
women (often) objects. As gay aesthetic spreads into mainstream, which
it seems to, things may change, but at this point Calvin Klein ads are
still ads, not "high art."
In any event, wouldn't you say that woman-in-a-bowl is pretty sappy?
Which was my point.
