I just read the phrase "internalized male gaze" and don't get the reference. I googled it and it appears to be something related to psychology and women's studies, but I can't pin down the exact definition and origin. Can anybody help? Here's the original article. The phrase is 9 lines down in the first paragraph. http://www.slate.com/id/2221364/pagenum/2

I take it that it refers to the idea that men MAY tend to figuratively watch themselves doing whatever, imagining how they appear to others. ("Boy, do I look good here..."; or something.)

It's used in a lot of writings on the inernet and doesn't seem to be an arbitrary grouping of words or coincidental choice, but a specific reference to something that people know from a text. Like "conspicuous consumption" or "an infinite number of monkeys typing."

On entering "internalized' in Google search a whole range of internalized somewhats jump up. Among others: internalized *homophobia, *stigma of mental illness, *racism, *oppression, *shame scale*Internalized male gaze, maybe it's better for men to keep their gaze healthily externalized.

Well, right, I forgot there are places in the world where you can get killed over looking someone in the eye.

But it's letting your gaze drop below their eyes that gets you slapped.
