Post-Feminism (1980's) and The Male Gaze

Post-Feminism (1980's) and The Male Gaze

*A re-appraisal of feminist values.
*Does not strive for 'equality' as this assumes that men are 'the best' - they wish to surpass male achievements.
*Objected to theories which position them as objects of the 'male gaze'.
*Identifies a 'female gaze'- women actively desiring men.
*Women began to assert their right to dress and be sexually attractive.
