abandoning your creativity for male validation: the male gaze and being perceived

This week on s0 wet s0 dry, Fiji and Autumn ask: are we abandoning our creativity for male validation? Are we more creative when we’re single? Do we know ourselves outside of the male gaze?

We’re talking: Being creative with your partner, lacking self-worth, daddy issues, conforming to the male ideal, how the need for male validation affects our voice, prioritizing male validation over your friends, the Carrie Bradshaw hate train, creating for a female audience vs a male audience, authenticity versus approval, art with an audience, being perceived, the male gaze, the white gaze, the myth of male validation, the uses of the erotic by Audre Lorde, the female gaze, polls, listener stories, and more
