“ 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.
