This portrays him as <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">self-sufficient<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> and also\u00a0 <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">individualistic.<\/span><\/i><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Out to dinner with a woman, the main male character tries to pay the bill quickly with a wad of cash and appears upset when his date insists on paying instead. The male character shows a <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">competitive <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">nature here.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The same male character laters goes over to this female character\u2019s house with his friends and throws money around, dancing with his friends in front of her. This portrays him as <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">forceful <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">and <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">assertive<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The male characters are seen pushing each other around and fighting, portraying them as <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">aggressive<\/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\">Overall, the main male character\u2019s attempts to appear <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">masculine<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> and <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">dominant<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> instead make him appear quite the opposite, and he ends up appearing artificial, immature, and <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">childlike<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, a stereotypically feminine trait. For example, after throwing around money in front of the female character, he quickly picks it back up, after making sure she was not looking. In this way, the music video is almost critiquing the stereotypical notion of masculinity, showing how such a pursuit of masculine stereotypes can be futile.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">At the end of the music video, the main male character embraces two male characters who were fighting, holding the head of one man and hugging the other. This portrays him as <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">affectionate<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> and <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">eager to soothe hurt feelings<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, both stereotypically feminine traits.<\/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 lone female character in the music video is shown only when on a date with the main male character and when in her house, while the male characters are always out partying in public, which reinforces the stereotypical concept of femininity<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400\">being limited to private realms.<\/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 out to dinner with a male character, the female character grabs the bill before the male character can pay and quickly pays for the meal herself. This presents her as <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">assertive, dominant, <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">and <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">self-sufficient<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, all stereotypically masculine traits. <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\">When the male character repeatedly tries to impress her with his money, the female character is not <i><span>gullible<\/span><\/i><span> or <\/span><i><span>yielding. <\/span><\/i><span>Instead, she shows stereotypically masculine traits of having a <\/span><i><span>strong personality<\/span><\/i><span> and being <\/span><i><span>willing to take a stand<\/span><\/i><span>, dismissing his antics with a strong attitude.<\/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.
