In feminist theory, the male gaze is the act of depicting women and the world in the visual arts and in literature from a male perspective that presents and represents women as sexual objects for the pleasure of the male viewer. For millennia, women weren't allowed to make any decision in society, and we got the vote only 100 years ago. Despite the progress, rampant abusive pornography and rape being thought of as inevitable, have created the perfect storm for "Gender Identity". Females don't need males to validate our existence, we exist anyway. Stealing language to describe our sex and unique issues while wearing womanface is literal cultural appropriation. We reaffirm our rights to life, liberty and happiness, we hold our #biologicaltruths to be SELF-EVIDENT.

@WDI_USA is it dependent on the creators intent? If a woman makes images that look very male gazey, is it not male gaze since a woman made it with the intention it be attractive to women like her, or is male gaze something apart from intent, is it inherent in certain things? Like if a woman is a lesbian and likes seeing "conventionally attractive women" in high heels, is she a brainwashed victim of patriarchal abuse?
@Jazzy_Butts @WDI_USA yes, according to the brainwashed victims of feminist abuse
