What Is the Female Gaze in Media?

Imagine this – a camera shot panning up a woman’s slender legs, lingering on her pert buttocks before following the curve of her body up to her bountiful bosom, lingering there some more before finally reaching the seductive fullness of her lips and her well-framed face. Well, you don’t need to imagine this. After all, there are plentiful examples in movies and TV shows. Laura Mulvey, a feminist film theorist, coined the phrase the “male gaze”, which seeks to explain why women are depicted as passive sex objects in mainstream film narratives.

Your Tarot Reading for March

Tarot is a mirror that reflects the soul. The cards represent our spiritual connection to the Universe, both tangible and intangible. With a deck of cards with pictures on them, one can grasp the past and understand how events have led up to the present. And as the cards are shuffled, these visuals change and take on a life of their own. With every shuffle, we’re infused with magic. And so it goes for March 2022.

Love and its Languages

If 10 individuals of different social and economical backgrounds, races and gender were to be asked what does love, valentine’s day and relationships mean to them, it is safe to say that no two of them will be able to provide the same answer. Some, who have yet to have the chance to experience it or believe in it might not even be able to give meaning to it yet. The definition of love may vary from individual to individual but one thing is for sure, no one is in control of the who, when and how it happens. Be it because of the golden arrow of Cupid or even through DNA tests like in the novel ‘The One’ by John Marrs, most of us tend to yearn for the day to finally meet the perfect one, or as some would call it – Destined Soulmate.  When that happens, it just does and it tends to ‘feel right’. As John Green, the author of ‘The Fault in Our Stars’ would put it, “I fell in love the way you fall asleep: Slowly, and then all at once.”
