Does anyone know of studies that address the gendering of film
technology, such as cameras?  I'm familiar with work like this in
popular music (particularly on the electric guitar), but other than
Mulvey's discussion of the camera's male gaze, I don't know of anyone
who has specifically addressed filmmaking equipment as masculine and
how this might contribute to females' reluctance to get involved in
film production.

Any references on this topic would be much appreciated.

Thanks!
