Miley Cyrus - Wrecking Ball.



During this song there are various aspects that imply very sexual innuendos.
 



 
1:04-1:09
 
During this part Miley Cyrus is in very revealing clothes whilst staring intensely in the direction of the camera, This connects the audience to the Woman in the video (The Object) and the males will get engaged by this because it is a technique to feel intimate.
 
1:14-1:19
 
At this part In the video, the woman is leaning back and revealing her breasts to the camera. Technique will get the males attention because they are able to see as much as the naked breast as possible.
 
 
1:23-1:26
 
During this 3 second period of the video the woman is licking the end of a hammer very intensely and looking like she enjoys it, this could suggest oral sex and this will drive males to watch this because they find it 'Sexy' or 'arousing'
 
 
 
1:49
 
During this part of the video, the woman is sitting on a wrecking ball completely naked and revealing a lot to the naked eye and not really leaving much to the imagination, this will get the males attention because they really want to see this young woman revealing herself to the camera
 
2:12-2:15
 
 
The woman is leaning up against the wall breathing heavily. This could suggest orgasms and sex, this will arouse the male audience
 
 
2:21
 


At this part the woman is laying on the ground with her ass facing the camera and her staring
intensely at the camera to engage the male audience and she is also revealing herself to the audience.


 

There's no hiding in the fact that the media is focused on this appealing to the male audience. The male gaze is due to the media being prominently being controlled by males and in years to come I can not really see a change in this because it is so male friendly at the moment. Saying this there is a 'Female Gaze' but not as dominant as the male one. My opinion on the male gaze is that it is morally wrong but I can't say that I don't participate in supporting the male gaze, and I don't believe any heterosexual male can say they don't. The world we live in objectifies women and it will for a long time.
