Re: male gaze + queer women??

[(Anonymous)]

I don't think it's uncommon for queer women to do. Usually if there's a criticism of a scene in something for its use of male gaze, the comments will contain women pointing out that they enjoyed that scene too. Of course those comments are followed by other women pointing back at them that that's a nice coincidence and all, but it doesn't matter because the scene wasn't made with them in mind. There will sometimes also be implications that queer women turned on by the male gaze have a responsibility to untrain that part of their arousal and watch some nice empowering indie lesbian porn instead.

Welp, I tried to keep my bitterness out of that answer, but I succeeded about as well as I did at untraining my queer hormones to react to objectification of my own gender. And you know, nothing ever made me wonder if there's a "reason" I "turned out" bisexual until I wondered if I'm just attracted to women because my exposure to things that assume the viewer is a heterosexual man caused my brain to react to women like one. That makes me feel guilty and gross both on the level of being a bad feminist and a bad representation of queerness.

I know it's not supposed to, but I wish I was secure enough to believe it. I assume it doesn't work that way normally. Just, that it happens to exceptionally brainwashable lumps like me.
