Laura Mulvey and the Male Gaze

The Male Gaze consists of the portrayal of Women and therefore the issue that women are seen as sexualised objects. Not only does the internalization of the gaze change a women's perception of themselves but makes them as an individual think of themselves as a object. Throughout the media, females are constantly looked at in a sexualised perspective and therefore are displayed in female nudity and a source of pleasure instead of the view behind their personality. Men on the other hand are the dominate individual and therefore take up the role of 'looker' whereby they view the women as the object.
