Magic Mike XXL

It is clear that the film is targeted to meet the wants of the female gaze and amplify the sexual liberty of both women and men. 
The male protagonists are replaced from the typical hyper masculined male to present more non-binary men as the men in this film  clearly in a more subservient and objected role which is usually subjected to women. This is shown within the movie as there is a scene where the male protagonists are grooming themselves carefully which included plucking and shaving excessive amount of male body hairs.
However it is arguable that is still an element of control and dominance lies within the men as the moves used as clear placing the women in the subservient role and expressed the men as leading and governing body.
Alternatively, this can be seen as placing importance for the sexual pleasure of both sexes and normalising it. However backing up the main point, this can be used to show the need for more women empowering and liberty films that promote feminism without the need for objectification of either sexes.
In addition, the overly visual pleasuring and stimulation for its majority female target audience can be received as positive as it brings the needs and wants of women to the film industry and due to the success of the film, this may bring in more films trying to tackle the same issues.

DRAFT NUMBER 1

As the music scene grows, it seems the objectification of women within music videos has become glorified and exacerbated. This is deemed as problematic as inclusive genres to this topic such as Hip-hop and Afrobeats are regarded as  highly complicated and multifaceted genre which are rooted and heavily revolve around complex social and political commentary, dating as far back to the 1960s and 1990s. Therefore the  lack of empowerment and the emancipation of women in the music industry is substandard. This is symbolised and particularly evident in NSG's music video 'Yo darling' featuring Geko. The music industry fundamentally provides a platform, not only for the young black youth to self-identify but to also raise awareness to wider discussions and issues of universal themes that have been pre-discussed and established by revolutionary music rock n roll and afrobeats artists such as Fela Kuti and the Little Richard. The lack of balance between black males and females’ re

Instead, her body becomes a showpiece and is put on display. It depicts her as not having an identity or a sense of individualism thus, reinforcing her role as a sex symbol.   “Women’s bodies are often dismembered and treated as separate parts, perpetuating the concept that a woman’s body is not connected to her mind and emotions,” states the sociologist, Erving Goffman in his book, Gender Advertisements. For example, certain body parts like the woman’s breast, her buttocks or her legs would be emphasised. This relates to the notion of sexism with reference to canting (to lea
