Honestly this picture really got to me when I first saw it. It’s called “Victim of Beauty” and it mixes beauty with pain in a really uncomfortable way. The woman in the photo has a black eye but she’s still wearing red lipstick, her hair is perfect, and she’s dressed up nicely. It feels like her pain is being shown as something beautiful instead of something sad or serious. That’s what makes the image so wrong, it turns her into an object not a person. It’s like saying that even when a woman is hurt, she still has to look good. To me, this picture shows how society often cares more about how women look than about what they go through and honestly that's a huge disrespect to women who are actually suffering from violence.
