male gaze



the video is anaconda by nicki minaj


In this screenshot we are presented with a picture of a girls bum, this will grab the attention of males and cause them to gaze, nick minaj often uses her body in her music videos to get people to watch it and take the attention away from her awful music. 

In this screenshot Nicki Minaj and the other dancers are spreading their legs in a way so that the audience can see inbetween them, this can be connected with pleasure and sexualisation of the women and objectifying them as sexual objects.

Nicki then goes onto expose her cleavage area by bending over in her low cut top, this can be connected with seduction and is associating herself with sex and pleasure again. 

the whole way through the music video nicki minaj and the other girls are all wearing very sexualised outfits that do not contain very much material, such as very tight bikinis and short hot pants that show off the sexual parts of the female body.


at about 3.10 in the video nicki minaj is seen to be wearing a french maid outfit, something that is very often used in a sexual way and she is bending over infront of the bar which is done in a very sexual way that can be assosiated with pleasure, and there is no material covering the back of the outfit making it even more over sexualised. 


in this part of the video nicki minaj is seducing drake in a sexual way my bending over right in front of him and touching him, she gives drake a lap dance which is associated with sex and pleasuring the opposite sex, also the room is dark so we don't really get to see much of drake which adds an element of mystery, drake looks like he is trying to resist nicki minaj but he knows he wont be able to.


Nicki minaj appears in the next clip In a red swimming costume which does not cover much of her body as she wants to reveal as much as possible, red is often associated with being the colour of sex which is often why women wear red lipstick, it can also represent evil which could mean that nicki minaj is not good for drake but still he wont be able to resist.
