Abstract

Under the gaze of men, the motive of objectifying the opposite sex to please the same sex is bound to cause derogation to women. Through the shaping of female images by media or literature, they are sexualized, objectified and alienated, and integrated into the society of male values as an alien. When the general trend of society excludes women and citizens lack social identity for women, women will be marginalized by society. This gaze is known as the male gaze, defined as interpreting women from a male perspective and objectifying them to please the same sex. When the criteria for evaluating female bodies depend on a male-guided aesthetic, it creates the illusion of male criticism power over female strangers.
