Rundown
This episode is the podcast version of a conversation Mexie had with YouTubers Nic (YT: Pynk Spots) and Kathrin (YT: Kathrin) on their joint sex stream channel called A Little to the Left. In this episode we dissect the male gaze in media, explain what it is, how it operates, and discuss its various impacts as we all internalize it. We get personal but also tie the gaze to broader structures like patriarchy, capitalism, and colonialism. If you’d like to hear similar conversations, follow us over on A Little to the Left. 😉
