Magazines are a big part of the male gaze and
sexual objectification too. In magazine
covers advertised towards women, such as a cover of Cosmopolitan magazine, the
male gaze is prominent portrays the perfect woman with airbrushed skin, hair
being blown back, deep plunging neckline to reveal a well-endowed yet photo shopped
chest, a short dress or bottoms to reveal the cover girl’s “perfect” photo
shopped legs and/or bottom, and of course articles
about sex and sexuality. Most magazine covers resemble this with the cover
girls all looking perfect, all are wearing something revealing and they all
talk about sex. These magazines all have articles about fashion, makeup, hair,
what to do and how to act when you’re in bed, they all tell you the same thing,
which is what society perceives females to be in the eyes of men.
