haha

Male gaze is a topic that is discussed a lot in the West, but in China, not many people recognize or even understand it. Some don't even believe it exists, or acknowledge the problems caused by male gaze

We can see this is a constant problem from 2015. Women keep posting comments trying to raise awareness towards gender issue.

This is a visualization of 10263 data using d3.js. y-xias is the total vote-up(agree)counts for one specific post

Interview I: with lady from Zhihu platform

Interview II: with lady from different ages

Experiment: Do gaze exist

PoseNet and D3.js

Since all my interviewees mentioned the existence of staring, I wanted to design an experiment to observe whether staring is real and in what form. So I designed this experiment, which can accurately record the movement of

Conclusion: people do gaze differently no matter male or female.
