Aesthetics looks at styles of production.[3] In particular, feminists argue that despite seeming neutral or inclusive, the way people think about art and aesthetics is influenced by gender roles.[2] Feminist aesthetics is a tool for analyzing how art is understood using gendered issues.[4] A person's gender identity affects the ways in which they perceive art and aesthetics because of their subject position and the fact that perception is influenced by power.[5] The ways in which people see art is also influenced by social values such as class and race.[6] One's subject position in life changes the way art is perceived because of people's different knowledge's about life and experiences.[5] In the way that feminist history unsettles traditional history, feminist aesthetics challenge philosophies of beauty, the arts and sensory experience.[7] Instead, a feminist is less likely to view the object as a disinterested interpreter, and intellectualize the sensation (Hilde Hein).[7] Morse[9] discusses how art is a social institution. Their relationship to feminist aesthetics is relevant because they expose gender and ethnic bias, as well as corruption in the art, film and pop culture worlds.	./cache/en-wikipedia-org-5695.html	./txt/en-wikipedia-org-5695.txt
