Feminism is the belief that women should be treated equally to men, they believe they should have equal pay, equal rights etc. Femenists do not like the way women rarely get the lead in films and often get the part of the helpless heroin who needs saving. They are often depicted as sex symbols in the music industry.
Laura Mulvey is a big believer in this, she believes that the male gaze into the media is made by men for men. She says that audience veiws a film in Voyeuristic veiw.
She argues that Voyeurism shows the woman to be perfectly beautiful and objectifying, she says that movie star have to be perfect and meet the aproval of men.
