Representations of Women In Music Videos

I wasn't referring to you, but ok.

If your teacher is a small-minded "feminist" chode, write about hegemonic masculinity in music videos.
If your teacher is a small-minded racist chode, write about women being degraded in rap music.
If your teacher is a small-minded republican chode, write about how censorship isn't tight enough and how the sexualization of music culture is causing teen pregnancy to rise or something. Just be Tipper Gore.
If your teacher is actually cool and not a chode at all, do your homework and analyze some of your favorite music videos. Love/whoopee making songs seem to be popular nowadays or sumthin, so it makes sense that a lot of females are portrayed in overtly sexual ways or as love interests in vids for male artists. (Don't really know any mainstream lesbian artists nowadays.....Indigo Girls.....Katy Perry? Nah. **** it. You find this stuff.)

Also, if all your favorite musicvideos are pretty much mainstream genital-touching tunes, watch a PJ Harvey video and compare. Or watch "Smile" by Lily Allen. I like that video and the song. I dislike PJ Harvey.

God, this is a long post. I think I should stop, I just keep writing. I'm not even going to read what I wrote, I just totally helped you with your homework. Claps for me.

Is that good or bad?
I've never seen a PJ Harvey video. I figure she just walks around in medows fully clothed, and it cuts to a shot of her in different lighting, in a different dress playing guitar or something. Or maybe thats every female artist in country ever. I forget.

i've never seen a vid of hers, either...but now that you have described it that way it is the only way i can ever imagine it going down.

i did mean it as a good thing...i've only ever listened to one album of hers but she is pretty gritty and in your face for your typical female singer/songwriter.
