Poem by Lucine Kaplan

MALE GAZE (1949)

This is a man’s world

Where a woman is hoisted up by crane

Beside a 2-ton, 35-foot plaster leg

Meant to for her, but it’s for him

1949
Nylons are back on the market post-war

Women are at home on chores

Their husbands under a Hollywood model’s skirt
anticipating a run or something torn

All for the wife, of course

He must ensure the new nylons by that guy are comfortable tights

Thank heavens for Marie Wilson’s sacrifice

For the greater good, a product reaching new heights

Stomach in knots

Better than ever

At the tippy top

No matter the weather

We suffocate again

Vulnerable before his prying eyes

Nylons are back

The average American man

The indefinite voyeur on watch

The system that perpetuates deadly feminine fees

Collapsing our knees

The system is the Patriarchy
