Subversive body image is basically an aim at destroying gender norms of what a body should look like. This pertains more to women because of how society is set up. For example, women have to be beautiful to be successful and men have to have money which is very extreme differences, but that is the way it is right now and has always been unfortunately. In recent times however, women have learned to embrace any differences on their body that aren’t seen as “beautiful” in other words, “text book beautiful”. Differences in bodies with shapes, sizes, colors is what makes up the whole meaning of beauty and diversity. Having a subversive body is taking back that title of being beautiful no matter what you look like. Whether that is with body hair, piercings, tattoos, physiques. Really anything that might be labeled as something a man would have or look like.
