John Berger
From this quote I can see that it is said that men work more harder than women and women just appear and look nice. I do not agree with this part of the quote because men do work hard, but women also work hard. Nowadays I think women work even harder than men but do not get the credit for it. There has always been a divide between women and men, and men are seen to be more superior than women so they would get more money and promotions quicker.
"Women watch themselves being looked at." This sentence explains that most films are shown through the male gaze, and it shows the audience how men see women. Also it says that us women just watch ourselves being looked at on the big screen.
Laura Mulvey theory discussed that we watch a film through a males point of view. The male gaze shows women to be of the status of objects, and not people. Films normally have women wearing less clothes showing more flesh than men, and the camera also lingers on places such as the bum and chest area.
For feminists it can be thought of in 3 ways:
- How men look at women
- How women look at themselves
- How women look at other women
