Ways of viewing/seeing



“ Even when representations of black women were present in film, our bodies and being were there to serve to enhance and maintain white womanhood as object of the phallocentric gaze” The over sexualized depiction of women in media is not something that began recently but a long standing tradition that has only grown through different forms of entertainment which has always been predominately male driven. This notion that women are to be looked at for a man’s pleasure, to be objectified and devalued as a sexual object simply to please the oppositional gaze.
