About this Quote

Katherine Dunn's quote is a commentary on the objectification of women in the media. She is recommending that if she were in the same generation as the person she is talking to, she would be tired of seeing Sophia Loren depicted as a sex things. This indicates that the media often represents females as objects of libido, rather than as people with their own unique characters and talents. Dunn is recommending that this type of representation is obsoleted and ought to be changed with more positive and empowering pictures of females. She is likewise highlighting the importance of acknowledging and commemorating the achievements of ladies, instead of just concentrating on their physical appearance. By making this declaration, Dunn is motivating her audience to challenge the status quo and to develop a more equitable and inclusive society.
