Male Gaze - Laura Mulvey

Laura Mulvey was a feminist that realised in Hollywood women were always seen as one of two things and nothing else,
A madonna (housewife, mother, sexualy unalavible, 'pure')
or a whore (sexually avalible, 'easy', sexually objectified)
The lead in the narrative is always a male hero and he seeks the female form in one of these ways.
This theory is still widely used in most narritives.
