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\">.

In addition, he is shown in jail punching a wall out of frustration in one scene. These instances reinforce the stereotypical masculine trait of <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">aggression<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The male character\u2019s physical appearance portrays him to be <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">athletic<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, have a <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">strong personality<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, and be conventionally <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">masculine<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> in general, as he is big and muscular in stature and tends to wear more athletic, edgy, and dark colored clothing.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">At the end of the music video, the main character shoots the female character with a gun, murdering her. He obviously does not want to murder her but appears to have been forced to do so, likely because of gang involvement. However, his murdering of the female character reinforces stereotypically masculine traits of being <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">aggressive<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> and <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">forceful, <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">in addition to being <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">individualistic <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">and <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">analytical<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> in a way for deciding to go through with the murder instead of resisting his commands<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.<\/span><\/i><\/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\">The main male character is <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">cheerful, warm<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, and <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">affectionate<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> towards the main female character in many instances, all stereotypically feminine traits.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The male character is forced to murder the female character due to gang affiliations. The fact that he was exploited by a gang and ends up obeying commands to murder his lover portrays the stereotypically feminine traits of being <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">yielding<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> and even <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">gullible.<\/span><\/i><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The male character is shown distraught and crying at the grave of the main female character, his lover. Furthermore, the lyrics of the song, sung by a man, talk about missing someone dearly and begging them to \u201cplease come back.\u201d This portrays stereotypical feminine traits of being <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">compassionate, tender, <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">and <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">loyal<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In one scene, the male character is shown spending time with a little boy, portraying the stereotypical feminine trait of <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">loving children<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/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\">The main female character is often smiling at the male character and touching him softly on the shoulder or face. This reinforces stereotypically feminine traits of being <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">cheerful, warm, affectionate, <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">and <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">gentle<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The main female character appears to be unable to speak, using a form of sign language to communicate instead. In a way, this goes along with stereotypical feminine traits of being <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">soft-spoken <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">and <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">tender <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">because this disability makes the female character somewhat vulnerable and unable to fully or boldly communicate her feelings or opinions with others conventionally.<\/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\">The main female character is often shown staring directly at the male character, is quite expressive with her emotions, and is active, doing things with her female friends. All of these things portray her to have a <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">strong personality, <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">a stereotypically masculine trait.<\/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.
