 * Your cartooning skills are great, and I love how perfect your characters' expressions are (even if you do copy-paste the rest of them a bit), but I can't get past how male-gazey the script of "Made for Each Other" is.
 * 2013, "Baked, Buzzed, Bored: 'Spring Breakers'", The Michigan Daily (University of Michigan), 28 March 2013:
 * For most of the movie, I’m torn between wanting to make a list of every overtly male-gazey shot, wanting to leave the theater to go get chicken tenders and wanting to take body shots off of Vanessa Hudgens.

 * The gender-flipped fellatio gratifies because it follows a first act dedicated to the male gazey ogling often found between a male filmmaker and beautiful, barely clothed, young actresses.
 * 2013, Tim Robey, "Speechless cinema: The top 10 films", The Telegraph, 23 December 2013:
 * Depending on your point of view, it’s either a scintillating essay on intangible connections and seeking what you can never find, or a chin-stroking tribute to café-culture stalking — one of a distinctly male-gazey species.

 * I “liked” the U of C Compliments page on Facebook. While its content tends to lean towards male-gazey compliments about foxy women at the gym, I still think it’s kind of sweet that people take the time and effort to say something kind anonymously with no incentive.

 * While ana posts have undeniably dark undertones – images of flat stomachs (even the filters applied to these are darker and grainier) mixed with ones that depict self-harm – the fitspo thread is bright and bubbly. It's also consistently more highly sexualized and male-gazey (perhaps why social media's mostly male execs are more comfortable with these images).
 * 2014, Mike McCahill, "Secret Sharer review – stormy-seas drama remains rather flat", The Guardian, 26 June 2014:
 * Fudakowski reserves his greatest enthusiasm for exoticising, male-gazey images of Zhu in the altogether, or wearing one of the captain's crisp white shirts just so off the shoulder.
