This image is what Berger was talking about, what we see is a man showing off his fancy drink and suit looking at the camera with confidence and pleasure, the complete opposite of what for example, the women in chapter 3 of there book we see how they are posed and its said that they tend to look more vulnerable, seductive and weak and seen as objects since they’re just girls. Of course I don’t think that way but thats what I got out of those images, and as for this one I think the man is showing / flaunting his male privilege and his power both as a man and financially. its different from the oil paintings Berger discusses of course because its an image and not a painting and the message that it is sending out. men are usually seen representing power and wealth throughout history, as for women they have been seen for sexual, domestic and maternal matters and put apart from male businesses. we can see that Berger means to let his readers understand that we all should articulate our own version of what we think but he lets us know throughout the book that certain things are just as the way that they are and thats that, I see this image and do as Berger said to imagine a picture and then in that painting in your head put both the man and the woman and see how the painting changes and how its message changes
