This document discusses the concept of the "male gaze" and analyzes whether Miley Cyrus' music video confirms or subverts it. The male gaze refers to how women are viewed and presented in media from a heterosexual male perspective. Several shots in Miley's video support the male gaze through extended focus on her body and engagement in sexually suggestive acts. However, some shots counter the male gaze by showing Miley in a position of empowerment using masculine tools like work boots and a sledgehammer. Overall, the document analyzes how the video both confirms and subverts the typical objectification of women from a male perspective.
