Hubbard post 2
For this post i wanted to talk about the Venus Hottentot. The thing that was so shockin to me was the drawings of her. The fact that they made her butt so large and obnoxiuos seemed like they were making humor out of her. This is sickening to me. Not only did they treat her like an animal but they would also use her for pure entertainment. SOmething like this shows the pure ignorance of the time. I really hope that people in our time dont do things this disgraceful. I cant think of any examples but i am sure that there are some people that are treated less than human....strippers for one and models are used just for thier bodies. After seeign the video my opinion on how i veiw people has changed a great deal
