I thought it was female gaze in Wonder Woman when the camera lens ogled at Chris Pine. But most of the time, I didn’t sense a female perspective at all.

The problem is female directors often just internalize the societally dominant male gaze and film from that perspective. We rarely have an ogling female lens.

We rarely see female desire in the camera’s perspective except in TV shows meant for teens. Why is this? Do female teens have more active desire and sexual subjectivity? Does it get programmed out of us as we age and adopt the male perspective, learning to objectify ourselves more than more.
