best part of "male gaze" analysis is how it sacrifices existence of gay men, women who lust after women, etc. to use "male" as a snarl word
agreed. i don't dispute that the thing being identified is a pervasive example of the reification of patriarchy in media

i do dispute that "men are this way, women are this way" is Bad When Patriarchy Does It and Good When Feminism Does It

I mean, I wouldn't interpret the claim as being as strong as all that. Male part seems2 mean structurally moreso than individlly

hmm. chewing on that. if it's about structure, why wouldn't we say "patriarchal", or for that matter "masculine"?

i mean, other than that as theory, it's of an age to be acquiring a sports car and affair with an underwear model, i guess
