Yes, how hard was this to answer? Wikipedia has an article, and I tried to answer, as well as suggest a few well chosen, excellent blogs, but I don't think he really wants to know the answer!
I fixed that by posting from "The Masculine Mystique" and excellent and thoroughly researched blog that is written, (gasp!) by a MAN. Maybe he will read that, as anything with the word feminism in the title is apparently instant death to even "gaze" at, internalized male gaze or not.
Please pardon my jaded sense of humor. "I'm being as nice as I can." Elvis Costello.
This is just a great lyric, the fact that he wrote it adds nothing to this discussion!

Excellent links, and thanks.
