The Male Gazed by Manuel Betancourt

challenging informative reflective medium-paced

4.25

The Male Gazed is a compelling and engaging reflection of masculinity and male eroticism on both American and Columbian TV. It is also very personal to Betancourt's development and understanding of his own relationship to masculinity - he regularly asks himself the question, do I want to be him or am I attracted to him? which is an extremely queer and fun question to ask. The one small critique I have of this is that the essays were linked together a little clunkily at times. But overall, very good, and I recommend reading it together with Hi Honey, I'm Homo.
