Description
I think this is a cool image because it demonstrates just how much context we attribute to interactions between people with a large difference in size and physicality. And this effect is amplified with the larger person is a woman and the smaller person is a man. We don't know anything about what is going on here. We have no background information and we don't know the relationship between these two people. But because she is so much bigger than him, we immediately assign a bunch of assumptions about what is going on. We could each write a story about this image and all of these stories would probably include the assumption that she is aggressive, commanding, threatening or being dominant over him. None of that may be true, but all of these associations immediately spring to mind based simply on her physical superiority.
