Female gaze article

The female gaze article:

The female gaze article is about women getting offended about models using women who are sizes under 6. Western women are normally sizes 14 and above and the fact that they aren't telling the truth by using models who are really slimmer than a size 14 and this is bad as this is misconception to what women look like. Famous models like Naomi Campbell and vivienne Westwood have complained about this and something will be done about it.


In star gazing critic jackie stacey says that female looks work on different types of levels.The film that is used is " a perfect 14".


Mulveys theory differs from this one as they said that men see women in the way that they want to see them. So this could be skinny, tall, large etc. they want to show people how women actually look at different sizes and show different features. This is a good way to show people what can be shown on t.v and on magazines as women who are over size 6 arent casted as models.



My opinion is that i think that magazines should use women of different sizes as that's what women actually look like. I think that if magazines used different sizes then people would get used to the idea of how women look like and therefore see it and know that this is real.
