Gender & Sexuality 

--determined through music videos--

What roles do the men in the music video play?  What roles do the women play?

Jason Derulo - Swalla (feat. Nicki Minaj & Ty Dolla $ign)

       The man (Jason Derulo) is surrounded by half naked women throughout the whole video, as well as Ty Dolla $ign. There is even a part in the video where a girl is hanging from Jason Derulo "twerking" on him. The one women figure in the song, Nicki Minaj, is half naked and showing off her butt. The other women in the video are dancing in the water, sucking on lollipops, and dancing alongside the men. The video is basically just sexualizing women and making the men seem more dominant. 

Migos - Bad and Boujee ft Lil Uzi Vert

      The women in this video are more portrayed as sexy and expensive in my opinion. They are objectived as liking and wanting expensive things. Almost seen as too good for the guys in some scenes. The men, Migos, are mainly just sitting with the girls either drinking or smoking. It is clear that the women are there with the them though. 

Bruno Mars - 24K Magic

     This video is mainly consisting of Bruno Mars dancing at a party with half naked women surrounded by him. My take from it is that he is rich and throwing this party and all the other women are there for him, pawning for his attention. He is calling everyone over to party and be with him throughout the whole video. (to be honest I really hate Bruno Mars so this was tough for me to watch) 

Beyoncé - Sorry

     The women seem to portrayed as dominant and powerful in this video, which is the whole concept of the song. There are no males in the video and Beyonce is in some way trying to portray that we don't need men? They are still dressed very provocative but seem to be resembling more of a "girl power" message.
