As women, a lot of emphasis is put on how we look. From our weight to our height, our hair length to the way we dress, we are judged and ridiculed. In this episode, host Ayesha is joined by close friend and frequent guest Kyla Mitchell-Marquis to discuss an essay titled “The Male Gaze”, touching on how women are portrayed in advertisements. Listen in as they explain how the male gaze denies women their human identity, dehumanizing and objectifying them. Remember, beauty is so much more than how you look, the make-up you wear and the clothing you have.
