Read  Playing With The Past: Post-feminism and the Media  ( MM40 , page 64 - our  Media Magazine archive is here ) 1) What examples are provided from the two texts of the 'male gaze' (Mulvey)? Marvel's Captain marvel and Cat woman were the two texts that were the ones that appeal to the "male gaze". 2) Do texts such as these show there is no longer a need for feminism or are they simply sexism in a different form?

  1) Why did Laura Bates start the Everyday Sexism project? She wanted to raise more awareness about the matter, she also wanted to share her experiences with others to show how it feel and to find out the different experiences that both men and women had with gender imbalance. 2) How does the Everyday Sexism project link to the concept of post-feminism?
