2) What are the two texts the article focuses on?
Male gaze and feminism.
3) What examples are provided from the two texts of the 'male gaze' (Mulvey)?
Beyonce's construction perfectly encapsulates the contradictions of post-feminist culture, simultaneously declaring herself as an independent woman, whilst objectifying herself for the camera and the ‘male gaze'.
4) Do texts such as these show there is no longer a need for feminism or are they simply sexism in a different form?
5) Choose three words/phrases from the glossary of the article and write their definitions on your blog.
Post-feminism – Culture and society that society is somehow past needing feminism and that the attitudes and arguments of feminism are no longer needed.
Male Gaze – The gaze referring to Laura Mulvey’s seminal article ‘Visual Pleasure and Narrative Cinema’ which argues that main stream Hollywood films subject female characters to the ‘male gaze’ of the camera, fragmenting and objectifying their bodies.
Nostalgia – A sentimental longing for the past, often only remembering the positives of the time.

Im for the no page 3 campaign. Campaign highlights that the Sun is being sexist against women, with The Sun announcing they will be removing the feature from their newspaper the never next day they reintroduced it back in. Showing the control The Sun has creating a publicity stunt to makes sense it portrays women as objects and degrades them,
