Answer:

The male gaze theory.

Explanation: The theory explains that women are portrayed through a masculine lens as passive objects of desire when they are viewed through the lens of desire. The male gaze is a sexualized way of portraying people. By objectifying women, the male gaze represents women through sexual desires of male viewers. It decipts the female body as an object for men to view, own and conquer.
