Comment on What's wrong with the male gaze?
realcaseyrollins 11 months agoWould you say that sexual objectification of women in media is always misogynistic, and if so, sexual objectification of men is equally sexist, thus making all sexual media unethical?

No, it’s not always misogynistic. I don’t subscribe to puritan views of avoiding sexual content, it just has to be written well

So, the male gaze tends to treat women as purely sexual beings? That makes sense (after all this came to mind after I watched You Only Live Twice for the first time with my sister).

A perfect example of a well written male gaze movie is How the Grinch Stole Christmas (2000)
