We unpack the gender politics, the fantasy of heterosexual warfare, and why mid-century romance keeps looking suspiciously familiar.</p><p>Light a candle, pour a drink, and join us as we lovingly dismantle a Valentine’s classic that might be more red flag than rose. 💔🌹</p><br><p>GAZER HOMEWORK: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cPtqTV4hO-0" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Click here to watch crime drama Dempsey and Makepeace from 1985</a></p><p><a href="https://linktr.ee/theproblematicgaze" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Click here to follow us on all our socials</a></p><br><p>Don't forget to hit that FOLLOW button to get every episode of The Problematic Gaze downloaded and ready to listen!</p><br><p>Please leave us a review wherever you get your podcasts.
