Notes on Objectification Theory, Self Objectification and Body Image - Calogero

"In general, media portrayals are considered sexually objectifying when the visual media spotlight women's bodies and body parts, especially when depicting them as the target of a nonreciprocated male gaze"

"by viewing and treating themselves as sexual obejcts, it is argued that girls and women act as their own frist-surveyors, in anticipation of being evaluated by other"

"when girls and women view themselves through this self-objectified lens, they take a peculair stance on their own bodies that is fundamentally disruptive to the self-body relationship"
