Just had a realization that feminine body building, or body building in general, is very similar to prostitution. People are utilizing their body in sexual ways (bikini aspect) to earn a living. The emphasis on how much these women relied on their bodies for financial means can be equated to the lifestyle of a hooker in some instances. The purse was the clear draw of the competition.
But how does this movie tie to being a superwoman? I took away that it is not only the parts, but the mindset. Bev is a very strong individual in the film (not afterwards based on her plastic surgery and change in physique); she seemingly does not let the harsh critique of her body get to her too much. The message of “you are who you feel you are” did come through at some points.” I’m still disturbed though…
