Comment on What's wrong with the male gaze?

At least for me (m) it’s cheap. If you do it as a pov shot you might get a pass, but ultimately, with every shot you should always be questioning what it achieves. If it is just titillating half the audience then you can probably do better.
From a simple we live with other people point of view: Would you enjoy the male gaze shots if they targeted a form you don’t find attractive? Do you enjoy them the same if you are watching the film with your parents, your boss, a teacher?

Interesting. See this whole topic came to mind when watching a James Bond movie with my sister for the first time.
While titulation is cheap, some people like it, but I wonder why in an era where sexual media is glorified, a male gaza is viewed as bad, and why people don't push as hard for a female or bisexual gaze. If only men are getting titulated, why not titulated the women as well?
