Where I am at on Critique #1

-What was Initial Ideal?: “If Women Ruled the World.”
Swap gender roles.
Or (and leaning more towards) and evolving to…
Explored male dominance over women. dominant males have become in society by taking pictures of everyday acts (like opening the door, paying the bill, driving the car) I want this to convey emotion and the relationship between men and women.

New Ideas: We live in a male dominated society. I want to visually represent this through pictures.
Why do some images strike you differently as a viewer?
Sexual representation
Stereotypes
Identity
Abuse
Body Language
-What does work communicate to viewer?
Gender representation. Explore roles of men and women visually.

-What is working well, what change or improve?
I like the different emotions, but I need to focus my project more. It is still broad, but the more images I take will help this.
Power to attract others?
Domesticity (influence of home life)
Power (ability to have strength, influence and/or control) Who is the victim?

I like this term:
Patriarchy is a social system in which the role of the father is central to social organization, and where fathers hold authority over women, children and property. Historically, the principle of patriarchy has been basic to the social, legal, political and economic organization in Hebrew, Greek, Roman, Indian and Chinese cultures, and has had a deep influence on most aspects of modern civilization.[1]
In feminist theory the concept patriarchy often includes all the social mechanisms that reproduces and exerts male dominance over women.
