Dismemberment is a gruesome brand of objectification, and it preserves the idea that women are just the sum of their body parts. Of course, this isn't a new thing — women have been objectified on canvas for centuries. (In the early 1860s, Manet’s Olympia and The Luncheon on the Grass were the first female nudes to create a fracas merely because his naked subjects dared to bare their faces; squarely meeting the male gaze.)The Gaze has been a subject of much debate, it has also been used in feminist and Freudian contexts. Woman have been programmed to be acutely aware of the Gaze, since woman have been subjugated and treated as property throughout History.
