"Dealing With My Own Male Gaze"

Even as the role of women is reduced to gaze-objects, so too is the role of men reduced to gazers. The concept of emotional intimacy with women, or even appreciation of women as human beings rather than sex objects, has been a subject of mockery, a hilarious sign of the failure of manliness, in too much of the culture I’ve consumed.

Multitasking, honey. Try it. Enjoy the boobs AND the emotional intimacy. And stop expecting TV and movies to do your emotional work for you. Though the fact that you have to strive towards a mindset that most normal adult men achieve effortlessly makes me think you might be a lost cause.

I don't know, if men should stop ogling, women should stop looking good.

Kinda glad they're not trying to shame men for looking at good looking women. Was totally expecting that.
