    Or even just an overexaggerated part of the female body, to signify where the stereotypical man focuses his attention.

    The way it is now just sorta says “the male gaze is ‘guys seeing women’”? Which…okay?

      My interpretation is he saw a guy because he had the visor on, but when it came off it’s revealed it was a hot woman all along, and the visor was “protecting” him from that view. As in, he doesn’t have to deal with his misogyny if he doesn’t see women.

      Ooooor it just doesn’t make sense.

          I don’t see it when the lady saying “bro” after he loses the visor. “Bro” is not something ladies really say.

            Really?

            Maybe it’s linguistic continuity to show they are the same person from before the visor was removed. Or…

            Maybe women can just say “bro”.

            Edit: I’m not calling you a sexist or anything, but it’s a weird deduction to make based on very subjective/anecdotal “evidence”. I’ve interacted with a lot of women online they use “bro” pretty freely.
