The “male gaze” invokes the sexual politics of the gaze and suggests a sexualised way of looking that empowers men and objectifies women. In the male gaze, woman is visually positioned as an “object” of heterosexual male desire. Her feelings, thoughts and her own sexual drives are less important than her being “framed” by male desire.
The male gaze is used to gain the interest of the male the women who are used for the male gaze are normally given a complex backstory to make them more then a mere sexual object.
