Male Gaze vs Female Gaze

The male gaze is employed all throughout this film; the main protagonist, Cameron who has the desire to win the heart of Bianca Stratford, who is shown to be the target of many male side characters because of her stereotypical sexual looks and body language. This is the same for other main and side female protagonists such as Kat Stratford as she dances sexually at a house party in the film.

Black Panther, released in 2018 uses many examples of the female gaze in the film. For instance, Eric Killmonger and Black Panther challenge each other to ritual combat. In this scene in particular, the female gaze is prominent as both characters have a very masculine appearance to the due to their muscular physique and their violent and aggressive tendencies.
