Response to Janine Antoni "Loss and Desire"

I love Janine Antoni's use of soap and chocolate to show the controversial expectations and assumptions of women. I interpret her use of soap as making a statement about how women are expected to always be clean, pure, and to smell like butterflies. I think her use of chocolate and the act of gnawing away at it, signifies the stereotype that women love chocolate , crave it during menstruation but are expected to uphold a "perfect" body, which of course we all know chocolate is full of sugar and milk fat. I like that she plays and juxtaposes these stereotypes and societal pressures on women to make a feminist statement.
