The Male Gaze vs. The Female Gaze

A very interesting article about the male vs female gaze. Have a read here: http://mscinephile.kinja.com/the-male-gaze-vs-the-female-gaze-1566345502


"[T]he objectification of men is a false equivalency to the objectification of women, because what's being fetishized is strength. Virility, capability, vigor, fortitude. Power. In a world where men actually do have power. You can't say the same about the standard objectification of women, which usually revolves around sexually-charged parts like breasts and buttocks, not biceps. In addition, "sexy" images of women generally involve us being relaxed, lying down, finger in the mouth like a child. Submissive, pliant, docile."
