Not only that, but they’re reaching a new generation of teen readers thanks to the 24-year-old actress’ star role on the CW’s Reign. Going full-frontal in the name of feminism isn’t without its controversies, but the women in Herself are showcasing their own bodies on their own terms. “This is a site made by a woman for women about women,” Stasey adds. “I sincerely hope men come to the site and learn to see how women present themselves, how women look when they are not merely objects, but the living, breathing subjects of their own stories,” she says.
Yet even allowing for the fact that she’s exposing herself to the male gaze, Stasey remains unfazed. Stasey encourages readers to “witness the female form in all its honesty without the burden of the male gaze.” The initial buzz surrounding Herself lead to the site trending on Facebook with the description “actress launches website for women featuring personal interviews and nude photos,” basically guaranteeing men will visit.
But major publications such as Glamour and People are eager to praise Stasey’s uncensored tribute to women of all kinds. It shouldn’t warrant questioning.”īy overtly displaying the female form, Herself has the potential to expose its subjects to objectification, and the site’s garnered a mild amount of criticism on social media. “The fact that it is a matter of controversy that a woman should choose to be nude without it being an act of sex just shows how backward and oppressive our society is. I wanted to give women the chance to reclaim that for themselves,” Stasey said in a recent interview. “A woman rarely gets the opportunity to just live in herself, as herself, a fully autonomous, self-determining human being.
Sure, the site’s thought-provoking interviews may get glossed over by viewers focusing on the subject’s naked bodies, but their overt nakedness is giving a different attitude about the female body the push forward it needs in mainstream media. In fact, naked women are the first things visitors of see. Oh, and his friends call him Clay.Herself is a much-needed feminist tribute to both the minds and bodies of women, and there’s an abundance of nudity featured on the site - hardly a surprise given Stasey’s outspoken stance on female sexuality. Overall, Robert will watch or play about anything, as there is always something to learn from media, no matter if it’s good or bad.
