In the essay Visual Pleasure and Narrative Cinema, Laura Mulvey introduced the concept of the male gaze and in film, the male gaze occurs when the audience is put into the perspective of a straight man. A scene may linger on the curves of a woman's body, for instance. Laura Mulvey argues that the male gaze takes precedence over the female gaze. So basically, it follows with the idea of sexualisation of women and it appears that the male gaze is much more popular than the female gaze.
