The female gaze

The female gaze is the male gaze but the roles are reversed. No theorist claims it but it comes part of the male gaze. With the male gaze, the women are the ones that are being objectified and being seen through the male eye. With the female gaze its the men that are being objectified and is seen through the female eye. The same camera work is used for the female gaze; the tracking of the body focusing on the usually topless male then back to the reaction of the women seeing this image. The theory is used in advertisements, music videos are film.
