3 examples that feminist believe are

Laura Mulveys theory:
Laura Mulvey created the term 'male gaze' in 1975. She believes that film audiences have to view characters from a perspective of a heterosexual male.
Features:
The camera lingers on the curves of the female body, and events which occur to women are presented largely in the context of a mans reaction to these events. Relegates women to the status of objects. The female viewer must experience the narrative secondarily, by identification with the male.
