“Sabrina Carpenter is Trying to Appeal to MEN”

[Frozenfanatic-vqrr]

Men liking Sabrina is a green flag. But she is NOT trying to appeal to them.

[gem]

Woman: *is confidant in herself.*

Pick-mes: Omg, she just wants the male attention I rely on for self-worth.

Being fem presenting and girly isn't the definition of the male gaze. She's just a girl doing girly things and for whatever reason women can't do that without it being about a man

[imabigcatratmat]

YES but girl you would EAT with bangs like this is so unrelated but I feel like it would suit your face so well

[Hahanopee]

Not everything is about Men! She can do whatever she likes it’s not up to anyone else to judge

[emma-dily]

This is why I don’t like saying that women are trying to appeal to the male gaze. That term was coined to talk about film that was made by filmmakers appealing to men with their movies. An individual woman can be unapologetically sexy for herself. I feel similarly about saying that real people are queerbaiting.

you’re so right! also I love your makeup stylee❤❤

[lapraslazuli]

I’m also a lesbian who happens to love the song Espresso, I will loudly sing along.

[But_Stuff]

Male gaze or male gays, because gay guys LOVE Sabrina Carpenter. I only know who she is because my girlfriend loves her music

[ItJustMe]

This is so true ( and I love you you such an inspiration to be like)

[TheDerpiestCatLoaf_-oyww]

My cishet 45 year old dad is obsessed with Sabrina Carpenter, Chappell Roan, and Charli XCX and I love him for it 😂

[margo-sophiehawkins]

She’s hot and feminine and proud of her sexuality which sort of automatically gets equated to “trying to appeal to the male gaze”, but just because femininity and women’s bodies are attractive to/objectified by men, doesn’t mean she can’t also LIKE the way she presents herself. In my opinion, implying that she couldn’t possibly be just acting and dressing in a way she’s comfortable with because the only option is to pander to men is in itself misogynistic.

[emreeculver]

Oh my god slay! I love that you’re talking about this because legit Sabrina is the reason that the light bulb in my head went off when I realized that I’m bi. Of course because she’s stunning, but mostly because you put a woman that talented and confident in front of me with, what I can only see from the outside, a heart and personality of gold, my jaw is on the floor and my eyes are gonna be full of stars. And that was 3 years ago, before the emails era even. Like she is slay and I love her.

[Mr.Q-tp]

Gay dude so idk abt any of that stuff but I thought she's just singing abt esspereso WHAT ARE YALL ON ABT?!

[JoanWilson-gtwm]

Yeah! She’s definitely achieved a successful career so far!

[lilyayora]

I kind of feel like we're conflating "clasically pretty and dolled up" with "catering to the male gaze" and it's kind of getting dull

[ClaraLuaVargasGuerra]

Girl was really like "god forgot my gay awakening" then kissed Jenna Ortega and covered Chappels Good Luck Babe...

[annabelcrescibene]

As a lesbian whose been a fan of Sabrina for ~10 years, I completely agree and think you said it perfectly bc truly why is it that one woman make a dirty joke? It’s for men, but men can just make a dirty joke without being anything.

[imthebossmermaid]

WORD queen. It’s like they think everything women do is for men and that they can’t embrace their own sexuality without it being about degrading themselves for men! It’s sickening! And her music is very similar to that of Marina Diamandis, Olivia Rodrigo, or Halle Bailey, where they sing love songs about their relation to men, but really it’s about their own lives and experiences, NOT the men themselves. That’s the vibe that I get from her.
