"A man's presence is dependent upon the promise of power which he embodies...Presence for a woman is so intrinsic to her person that men tend to think of it as an almost physical emanation, a kind of heat or smell or aura...A woman must continually watch herself. She is almost continually accompanied by her own image...And so she comes to consider the surveyor and the surveyed within her as two constituent yet always distinct elements of her identity." -John Berger, Ways of Seeing
