Laura Mulvey was a British feminist film theorist who argued that women are often represented in media to provide visual pleasure to men. She believed this objectifying "male gaze" places the viewer in a masculine position where women are viewed as objects of desire. Mulvey's theory was that patriarchal society portrays women as sexual objects for men's viewing pleasure and subordinates them below men. Analysis of music videos like "Whistle" by Flo Rida provided evidence supporting Mulvey's idea that women are frequently depicted as "sex objects" through techniques like focusing only on parts of their bodies and having them dress and act in sexually suggestive ways to attract the male audience.

2. Laura Mulvey a British feminist film theorist,
she argues that women in the media are
represented to provide visual pleasure to men.
she says that Hollywood cinema put the viewer
in a masculine subject position, where women
are seen as the object of desire also known as
the “male gaze”.
She believed we live are living in patriarchal
society and men are dominating, where women
are degrading and men having a higher status.
3. Many music videos support Mulvey‟s theory on how
women are sexualised by the media.
By Analysing this video Whistle By
Flo Rida I was able to find evidence to
support Laura Mulvey‟s idea on
women be represented as „sex objects‟
in the media, through out the video
the women in the video are
dismembered meaning that only the
camera focus on only showing parts of
the women's body in order to attract
the opposite gender which Mulvey
calls the „male gaze
4. In addition the women are also represented in what they
where and how they act, such as in many videos it shows
women showing more flesh than the men this maybe to
suggest that women wearing less clothes is what will attract
the male audience, also perhaps through how the women
act in the videos such as dancing around the men, this can
illustrate the men have more advantage and higher status
than the women which again highlights Mulvey‟s theory
that society is more male dominated examples that support
this is shown in Blurred Lines by Robin Thicke and Dizzie
