The male gaze has a huge effect on society, the way Hollywood and/or the media portrays females is just unrealistic and demeaning to every female. In any movie or TV show if one pays close attention ,the sexual objectification is obvious when the camera zooms in on female’s body parts such as her chest, butt, legs, and stomach. These women are seen as simply body parts, and even if the camera zooms out to show the whole female, it’s the body parts that stay with you because it’s put in our mind that all she really is, is an object, just a body part and not a full human being. With the thought of females just being body parts, it catches on to society and society starts to view females this way, judging females based on their body and sexuality instead of who they really are. Females have to try and live up to the body expectations to be accepted into society, they have to be thin, have long legs, a big chest and a big butt, they have to be proportionate, and if all this is mastered then and only then can society see them as “perfect” and “sexy”. Females often do believe this so they over diet, exercise, wear wonder bras, get plastic surgery, and wear little to nothing in order to have the “perfect body”.
