CNN Writer's Obsession with 'Male Gaze' Reveals Network's Divorce from Reality
Newsbusters ^ | October 13, 2025 | P.J. Gladnick

For those of you wondering how CNN's brand has fallen so deep into the toilet, the strange attitudes divorced from reality of many who work at that network might offer one of the significant reasons.

An example comes in the form of CNN's Science and Wellness writer, Madeline Holcombe, who wrote an overlong boring rant about her neurotic hangup with the 'male gaze' on Saturday, "After years of progress on gender, the male gaze is back."

The "male gaze" is back? If you even knew it ever existed as a major problem in the first place, then YOU are probably the one with the problem for even noticing. And one who has definitely noticed and can't stop thinking about it is Holcombe who one could argue causes the male (and female) glaze -- as in their eyes glazing over in utter boredom while attempting to read a rant that seems like entering an unending wormhole into an alternate universe obsessively concerned about something that never appears as a problem on the radar screens of normal people.

Could somebody go mansplain to this author that there's no such thing as the "Male Gaze"?

The male gaze is back? What changed? Trump won the young male vote. Left wing women are toxic. Nobody likes them.

mansplaining, manspreading, now mangaxing
As well as Columbus day, today is Canadian Thanksgiving and national Indignant Peoples day.

Your boyfriend Laz will have not a Gaze but GLAZED face due to shocked embarrassment I might mete out to him if you don't take your Gaze off the FR. Remember, when you post, LAZ suffers the brutal punishment of sheer humiliation.

Sorry, I am juts not getting this?

Are we finally at the point where they are admitting that using obese, ugly women and men as models and spokespeople does not actually encourage women or men to buy their products?

Really? Maybe you wouldn't have such warm feelings about the Dirtbag if he also cursed out your wife. And a highly STUPID Dirtbag since just a few day after JimRob warned him about acting like a mental case, he went Full Mental Jacket. Dumb, Dumb, DUMB!

Ain’t no guy (or even lesbian pretending to be a guy) “male gazing” at her. Guarantee it. That’s why these looney leftists fems are so obsessed with this stuff - they’re butt ugly and stink like a sack of wet cat hair.

don’t forget the fat hairy men wearing women’s bathing suits, bras and panties. Those posters are all over Victoria’s Secret when we walk by at the mall.

And yes! I think the grand delusion of satan is now coming to an end and people have are now “awake” from the “woke” nightmare.

Is there such a thing as "female gaze?"

If not - Why not?

But, of course, there is such a thing as "female gaze." How else would women tell if a man was 6'2" and built like an Adonis - as opposed to 5'4" and built like a bowl of Jell-O?

And I absolutely hate it, the way women gawk at me as I drive my Lambo into the private golf course parking lot!

Regards,
