  2. The image of perfection within physique is becoming more fused between the standards of genders. It is not clear whether this women appears to be satisfied with her progress or whether her emotionless face is meant to inspire a mood of relentless hard work.

  3. This image could motivate young generations to get fit. It also contradicts the women's body (skinny). Women also try to dominant like males in the society.
