The male gaze
Mulvey argued that in film, women are portrayed as sexual visual pleasures for men, an technique is used where the audience is put into the role of a man, and on screen the camera lingers on the female, displaying her as visual pleasure for men. In cinema theory,, Laura Mulvey identifies the Male Gaze, in sympathy with the statement that "Woman is a symptom of man." what this means is that femininity is a social construct, and that the feminine object the object of desire, is what constitutes the male lack, and his positive identity.
