The Male Glance

As a follow up to my last post on August 26, 2018, I want to bring your attention to an article by Lili Loofbourow where she introduces the concept of The Male Glance.  It’s tremendously insightful.   Loofbourow argues that we all see what we’re told to see, what we’re acculturated to see.   Seeing potential is irrationally skewed when gender gets in the way.  And this isn’t just the case of men judging women’s work differently; this is a case of both women and men judging women’s work in superficial ways, with a glance.

I don’t say this often but Loofbourow’s article will expand your consciousness.
