The document analyzes Britney Spears' music video for "I Wanna Go" and discusses whether it can be considered a feminist music video. It notes that Britney Spears is seen as a role model for many women and the song encourages feminism. It then describes several scenes from the music video where Britney Spears appears dominant over men by swearing at reporters in an interview, breaking a male photographer's camera, using her femininity to get out of legal charges, and attacking people with her microphone. While these depictions show her power and dominance, the document argues it may promote a radical form of feminism that makes men seem to only view women as objects of pleasure rather than equals.

1. I Wanna Go – Britney
Spears
IS IT A FEMINIST MUSIC VIDEO?

2. Britney Spears is an iconic figure in pop as she is seen to be a role model for women of a
similar or age. Moreover, she didn’t select to become a musician, as well as this “I Wanna
Go” is a pro feminist song that encourages feminism.
Feminism is women fighting for equal opportunity in a society shared by both men and
women. Furthermore those who fight to be equal or more than men are radical feminists
because they want to have more opportunity than men.

3. Britney Spears arrives into
an interview and is asked
multiple questions about
herself and her views on
things. When a question
arises she then goes to
swear at the press. This can
be a element of feminism
due to her wanting to show
her feminine dominance.
Furthermore she is being
asked questions and is
taking charge and
dominating the press. Can
be seen as a sign of power-
seeking for more chances
etc.

4. Britney yet again shows dominance by
grabbing the male paparazzi’ camera and
throwing it to floor breaking it. Which is seen
as an aggressive act. A more male action
which shows her pro feminism in the video.

5. The male gaze can be said to exist in this
frame, for example the male that is looking at
Britney is obviously staring at her out of
attraction. The Male gaze is something which
is said to occur for men which makes them
view women as objects of pleasure instead of
equals. Britney Spears has chosen to show
this in her music video for obvious pro-
feminism.

6. Britney has just got rid of her charges by obviously having sex with the policemen
using her femininity which obviously lead to the male committing to the Male Gaze.
Therefore it is quite evident that feminism is in the video through the methods of
showing how women can use their power. It is pro feminism showing how women
are dominate through provocative behaviour as well as dress.

7. Britney is attacking people with her microphone as a
sign of power. It shows her dominance in the video
and how she is overpowering all the males in the
frame. Furthermore in the video you can clearly see
majority of the people are males.

8. Is it feminist
 I think that it is feminist due to the fact that it is a very iconic figure that is
showing her power and dominance in the music video. She targets males
to show her anger/attacks to. Furthermore it may not be the right type of
feminism I think that it is a bit radical how she shows all males to view
women as objects of pleasure as well as that; I think that it is incorrect to
make either gender look bad.
