Selfies, sexualisation, and female objectification - Big Ideas - ABC Radio National. How The K-Pop Industry Sexualises and Objectifies Its Female Singers. It has been almost seven years since the world first grooved to the highly-addictive Korean song, “Gangnam Style” by PSY.
The Subversive Thrill Of Women Objectifying Other Women. The concept of the "male gaze," a term first coined by Laura Mulvey, dictates that when a man is behind the camera, the lens capturing his point of view, the audience, therefore, sees the world through a masculine, typically heterosexual perspective.
The ubiquity of the male gaze is often understood as the reason that women subjects in film are presented as simply sexual objects, only there for the pleasure of the (presumably male) viewer. The male gaze's counterpart is nominally the "female gaze," as utilized by women directors, and known to depict women as more than mere sexual objects, because—as with the male gaze—the female gaze is presumed to be heterosexual. Where, then, does the lesbian gaze fit in? The album cover for Hayley Kiyoko’s Expectations features her sitting, fully clothed, in a chair, gazing at a naked woman lounging on the floor. When men objectify women in music, progressive women recoil.

How sexual empowerment screws women.
For a stretch of my misspent youth in the 00s, I was a regular visitor at a fetish club near London Bridge.
The club’s owners always let me — and women like me — in free, because nightclubs are an economy of sex, money and nubile flesh, in which the currency is women. I got to play-act at being ‘empowered’ and ‘in control’, while the male visitors to the club enjoyed being theatrically humiliated. But in all other respects, the establishment followed the age-old pattern: men with money to spend, keen to surround themselves with young female bodies. I was reminded of that ignoble episode watching the brouhaha over Cardi B’s song WAP, whose explicit lyrics and trippy, porny video have upset conservatives and spawned a flurry of culture-war argument. Cardi B & Megan Thee Stallion are what happens when children are raised without God and without a strong father figure.
Chess player says she dealt with more sexism than 'The Queen's Gambit' The modern-day Beth Harmon Alexandra Botez told Insider that "The Queen's Gambit" was the "best portrayal of chess" she's ever seen on screen.Botez also relates to how Harmon's character wasn't taken seriously as a female player.But Botez said the show wasn't nearly as sexist as the actual chess world, especially given the time period.Visit Insider's homepage for more stories.
Netflix's "The Queen's Gambit" is the most accurate portrayal of chess in Hollywood, but it doesn't go far enough to depict the sexism ingrained in the culture of the sport, female chess influencer Alexandra Botez told Insider. Botez is a Twitch chess streamer who started training with her dad when she was just 6 years old. By the time she was 8, Botez won her first national championship. Hidden figure: how The Invisible Man preys on real-world female fears. There’s a scene in the first half of The Invisible Man, a psychological horror film that reinvents the HG Wells character as an abusive ex-turned-stalker , when the protagonist, Cecilia (Elisabeth Moss), realizes she’s not alone in her room.
She can’t be sure she hears breathing, or the slight brush of footfalls; she definitely can’t see anyone. But she can feel something is wrong – the gut-level sense one gets from having another heartbeat in the room draws her from bed. She checks the living room, the kitchen, the porch outside – there’s no one she can see, only an invisible person’s cold exhale on her shoulder. The scene is played for suspense – it’s the first introduction to the movie’s villain as invisible tormenter – but it also, for me, conjures a more relatable fear.

There's no blaming studio interference for the disappointment that was Wonder Woman 1984. For a studio that prides itself on letting directors get on with the job, Warner Bros sure is prone to the odd jot of heavy executive interference.
Or so it might initially appear from recent comments made by Wonder Woman 1984’s Patty Jenkins on Marc Maron’s WTF podcast, which have subsequently been picked up by media outlets across the globe. Discussing Gal Gadot’s first turn as the Amazonian superhero in 2017’s widely-acclaimed Wonder Woman, Jenkins revealed she initially battled the studio to get her vision of a warm-hearted, loving Diana of Themyscira across, ultimately winning out over an approach that would have seen the character engaging in extreme ultraviolence. “I felt like they wanted to hire me like a beard; they wanted me to walk around on set being a female director – but it was their story and their vision,” said Jenkins of her first experiences with the studio. “Even when I first joined Wonder Woman it was like, ‘Uhh, yeah, OK, but let’s do it this other way.’
Abuse and trolling fat woman deal with on social media. When I call out the comments, I receive messages telling me that the content I post is “too revealing”.
But why should I, or anybody for that matter stop posting photos in order to dodge the male gaze? Most women who post lingerie photos online do it for the good and empowerment of themselves or other women, or they may do it as a way of making money whether this be modelling for brands or for their own Instagram account. Plus-size fashion blogger Emily Crosby says she often receives sexualised messages on Instagram, even though she only posts fully-clothed photographs. “Despite my refusal to post content that might encourage this type of message, It seems that even by just existing on Instagram as a fat woman (no matter what I post), I get unwanted sexual messages and pictures.”
Stacy Martin: “Sexualised female bodies have become normalised” “I’m not interested in working if it’s always going to be the same thing,” says Stacy Martin of her career.
Looking back on her body of work, it’s inconceivable to describe it as anything other than varied. Since landing her cinematic debut six years ago in Lars von Trier’s controversial two-part sex odyssey Nymphomaniac, the Paris-born actress has joined Tom Hiddleston in the stylish indie High-Rise; played Godard’s muse in her native French for the vibrant biopic Le Redoutable; and broken into mainstream Hollywood, appearing alongside Michelle Williams and Mark Wahlberg in the Academy Award-nominated crime drama All the Money in the World. “They’re so different,” she says of the projects she’s aligned herself with. “I really enjoy working on all these sets.

Is the beauty industry anti-feminist? By Lucy Tandon Copp 21-Jul-2017 Marketing | Regulatory Does the cosmetics industry fuel insecurity and undermine a woman’s choice to look how she wants, or are beauty brands making progress to break down outdated stereotypes and barriers to equality?
Lucy Tandon Copp investigates Feminism and beauty: it’s a big topic, full of contradictions and loose ends. But it’s a subject that is rearing its head thanks to the rise of what is described as the fourth wave of feminism. The fourth wave, defined in part by new feminism and gender equality, may still be in an emerging state, but it has already impacted the beauty industry in ways more monumental than its previous iterations ever did.

It’s late evening in a London studio, and filming on a teenage pop singer’s first music video has halted.

I find it disrespectful' Miraa May’s pop preaches unshakeable self-love (“Tell ’em I don’t bow down to nobody,” goes one hook).
