'n Bietjie gedagte oor skoonheid in patriargie

As 'n vrou sexy vir 'n man wil wees, om hom op haar verlief te maak, sy moet die gevoel van beheer en voorspelbaarheid oor haar gedrag by hom inboesem. Sy is dalk nie-konformisties en het gewaagde idees, but all this audacity should look familiar to him, she may be nonconformist in the way he accepts it. This is the “love” in patriarchy. A woman may be a more complex object, but still an object. Maybe she can behave like a sophisticated robot, but still a tool for male use. If she’s unpredictable, she’s crazy, and that man will not “love” her. Cosmetics is complicated, but freedom for women in patriarchy is only cosmetic.
