For some images, there is dialog, so the test could be transferred directly (Manga, comic books, etc). But many many images don’t have any text at all, and often only one character.

I think there’s probably some version of ‘the male gaze’ that could be avoided. But maybe someone has a more canonical answer?

    I think print media is much better about this - I read a lot of indie comics and there’s plenty of women talking to women about war or other things (though a whole lot of it seems to be war), and in books too. Maybe just because there are more of them there is more variety overall.

    If I understand correctly what you are asking, is there art by women that has a different perspective, then I think that answer is yes, but beyond “know it when you see it” I can’t think of a test.
