You talk about poor reasoning? Your own is merely "you just can't." Mine is that people leave in impressions on each other and in this way we are penetrated. If you've never seen the uncovered, pure humanity of a person, that's all you. Do you see nothing in surrealist paintings? Do you think psychoanalysis is full of shit? I think your own biases are blinding you to my analogy. But again, this is silly and I don't understand why you are pressing an analogy.
Maybe you've been reading Frantz Fanon, or some other existenialist on "the gaze."
