While analyzing with the Sex Role Perspective, I will utilize the items for evaluating masculinity and femininity as presented by Hyde (1995, p. 134), and these specific items will be <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">italicized<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.

Portraying a college of technology with a majority male student population reinforces the stereotypes that men are more <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">ambitious<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> and <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">dominant<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> in the technology field compared to women.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Only male students are shown participating in sports, such as cricket and weight lifting, reinforcing stereotypically masculine traits of <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">athleticness<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">competitiveness<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, and <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">aggression<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Resisting stereotypes<\/b>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In several instances, a crowd of male students is seen absent-mindedly following around the main female character, all admiring her with smiles but not being courageous enough to talk to her. This defies the stereotypical masculine traits of being <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">independent, assertive,<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> and <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">individualistic<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, instead portraying these male students with stereotypically feminine traits of being <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">cheerful, shy, <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">and even <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">childlike<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The main male character of the music video is shown as being <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">shy, soft-spoken, <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">and <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">cheerful<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> when around the main female character, all stereotypically feminine traits.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In many instances, the main male character is shown catering to the main female character, bringing her food and even giving her his drinks. This defies the stereotypical masculine traits of being <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">individualistic<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> and <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">self-reliant<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> and instead portrays stereotypically feminine traits of being <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">affectionate, loyal, <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">and <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">sensitive to others\u2019 needs.<\/span><\/i><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>Evaluating Femininity<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Reinforcing stereotypes<\/b>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Although many male students are pursuing her, the main female character is stereotypically <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">not susceptible to flattery<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> from most of these male characters.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The female students are shown in the stands cheering on the male students during athletic events. This reinforces stereotypical feminine traits of <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">cheerfulness <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">and <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">warmth<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. The fact that female students do not play any of the sports reinforce stereotypical traits of <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">tenderness <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">and <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">gentleness<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Resisting stereotypes<\/b>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">While the male characters are almost always shown together in groups of two or more, the main female character is often alone. This portrays her as <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">independent<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> and <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">self-sufficient, <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">stereotypically masculine traits.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\">Although the main male character is often shy and nervous around the main female character, she is quite the opposite. She shows stereotypically masculine traits of being <i><span>assertive, dominant, <\/span><\/i><span>and having a <\/span><i><span>strong personality<\/span><\/i><span>. She somewhat reverses the stereotypical roles of a relationship between a man and a woman in this way.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I am analyzing the most viewed Bollywood music videos on YouTube using the Sex Role Perspective.
