       "In a world ordered by sexual imbalance, pleasure in looking has been split between active/male and passive/female. The determining male gaze projects its fantasy on to the female form, which is styled accordingly.

Woman displayed as sexual object is the leit-motif of erotic spectacle...she holds the look, plays to and signifies male desire." - Laura Mulvey, Visual Pleasure and Narrative Cinema.
