Topic: Male Gaze

The male gaze is a concept that describes the perspective of a heterosexual male observing and objectifying the female form through a patriarchal lens.

More on: Male Gaze

The concept of the 'male gaze' is central to the podcast episodes, which examine how the portrayal of women and teen sexuality in films and media caters to a male viewing perspective.

The episodes '90s Lolitas Volume 3: Wild Things, Cruel Intentions and Britney Spears (Erotic 90's, Part 19)' and 'Women in hip-hop push back against the male gaze' both directly explore how the male gaze has shaped the representation of women and teen sexuality in popular culture.

The episodes highlight how this objectifying lens has led to the commercialization and exploitation of women's bodies, particularly those of young women, and how some artists are now pushing back against these harmful stereotypes.
