Female Role: Nicki Minaj


Rapper Nicki Minaj discusses the social outlook on females compared to males.

Media Representation: Mood Board





Female Perspective: Music Video Research


 TLC: "Unpretty"


I like this video as it corresponds with what our video is about - How the media tries to manipulate and use younger female women to be or act a certain way. This video explores that concept and explains that it's okay to be the way you are. The video portrays some of the problems girls have to face such as bulimia.

Female Perspective: Music Video Research


 Destiny's Child: "Nasty Girl"


This music video demonstrates how a girl should not look in society. It is interesting as they sing about how "nasty" the girl is for not having much dignity. Yet again, the song and the music video correspond very well.

 Wyclef Jean: "Perfect Gentleman"


This video suggests that it's okay for females to be promiscuous in today's society. That there is no problem with being slutty and that it could be a profession. I think this music video gives out the wrong idea since it's not a good message to send out.

 Stacie Orrico: "More To Life"


This video shows the life choices females take nowadays and explains that there is more to life than becoming a mother or working in a diner. I like this video since it explores different themes. The song fits well with the video, too.

Feminism in Music videos

Some artists have tried to intergrate the message of feminism in their songs and videos. Well, some were successful some were not.But that is probably a matter of opinion. Firstly a Music Video from Christina Aguilera (Can't hold us down)



I believe that the song is interesting but the video was not strong enough to convey a memorable,important message.
Another artist who also encourages feminism is P!nk. Many of her videos are fun to watch but are still conveying the strong message they were meant to convey.

The video shows a few misconceptions and stereotypes that people have about feminists.



How women are being exploited in the media
