The Elusive Female Gaze: What is it?

Ep. 17

This week, Katie and Ashleigh discuss the Female Gaze! What is it, what are examples of it, and how is it different from the Male Gaze? They discuss what they find attractive in a partner, the types of men and women portrayed in mainstream media, and why The Female Gaze is so hard to define. Is it even real, or just something made up by feminist media?
