Berger and Mulvey both discuss the way women appear in images, and Berger in particular notes the way women conform to and perform for the male gaze. He discusses the way "a woman must continually watch herself" and how "she has to survey everything she is and everything she does because how she appears to others, and ultimately how she appears to men, is of crucial importance... her own sense of being in herself is supplanted by a sense of being appreciated as herself by another" (280). If this is a primary cause for why "men act and women appear" (281), how do you think that a widespread adoption of the burka (or something akin to it) would affect the popular representation of women in the US? Would an overt rejection of the male gaze help to liberate women who are now too absorbed in their own appearance to be able to act as truly autonomous beings? Or is there too much importance in reclaiming female sexuality, and would relinquishing this sexuality simply be a denial of what makes a woman, a woman?
