Her Theory:
The theory that i focused on is the Male Gaze. This is how males Gaze at females that are represented through the media negatively. For example, the females will be Objectifed for sexual imagery, like Sex Objects. This can be done through the type of clothes the female is wearing and the type of pose is used. Also she can be objectified by the use of products she is advertising, for example perfume bottles can be shown as a Phallic Object; this is when an object has the same feature as a male 'penis'.
This can lead to males gaining pleasure out of looking, the term for this is Scopophilia. There is no reason why females are always seen as sex objects, there is also a term called the Female Gaze, this is when females look at males as sex objects. Females are more often found to be sex objects as within films a Misogyny is formed. This is when the hatred of females is produced and that fema;les are worthless, the use of females in films are not to cause a mend in the storyline, it is so that men can feel arowsed.
How it is linked to my study:
Looking at laura mulveys theory, i had used the Male Gaze to relate to my text, as within Xmen3, females are shown as inferior, they are there to be looked at, the key term is the Misogyny. The films shows male more powerful and show a Patriarchal society. a more male domonant societ and the hatred of females.
