She has a strong set of view of the way women are represented in music videos, or in media in general. This is influence by the fact that we are still living in a patriarchal society, where men objectify women and this is clearly visual in many music genre music videos, like those on RnB and Hip Hop.
The irony of the song Holiday- Dizzee Rascal, is that it actually shows the male gaze in the video from a character. Which you can see above. So it just shows that this is meant to be a normal occurring thing in society today. So its okay to sexualise and objectify a women and its a norm? Madting!
When you think of this theory, it really does add up. Even some of the best female artists in this industry are portrayed as this. For instance Nicki Minaj, she is right out there and so open to it, at the same time it's understandable though, its by all means to get the most views, in order to get loads of revenue and a wider fan base. Her assets really do a lot for her!
