    The male gaze is the idea that we judge things from the perspective of a (heterosexual) man. In particular, it often refers to what society considers to be beautiful. Society often equates being sexually attractive with beauty, and often values people who are considered beautiful more highly.

    The article is critizing the video for claiming to subvert this trope in the second half, while still placing emphasis on Katy Perry’s sexual attractiveness.

        Wow.

        That was a lot of words just to say “I’m repugnant.”

              You’re literally bothered that people like beauty.

                Oof, someone went out of their way to explain it to you and you didn’t even read what they wrote. Rude
