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 this post, I will be discussing the music video for \u201cTaaron Ke Shehar\u201d by Neha Kakkar.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Link to video: <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=VAZxSoKb65o\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Taaron Ke Shehar Song: Neha Kakkar, Sunny Kaushal | Jubin Nautiyal,Jaani | Bhushan Kumar | Arvindr K<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><b>Evaluating Masculinity<\/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\">In the opening scene, the main male character and female character are shown in a standoff with police while robbing a bank. Although both are involved in the crime, the male character looks like he is doing more of the work, and he is more calm and focused. This portrays him as having a very <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">strong personality<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> and having <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">leadership ability<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> over the female character.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The male character is a criminal that carries a gun, leads crimes, evades the police, and dances with the female character while the police shoot at them. This all portrays him as <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">aggressive, assertive, <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">and <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">willing to take risks.<\/span><\/i><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The male character and female character escape the police by grabbing onto a rope dropped down by a helicopter and getting carried away. However, it is the male character that holds the rope and holds the female character, while she just holds onto him. This portrays him as more <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">forceful, athletic,<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> and <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">self-sufficient<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, while she depends on him.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In their relationship, the male character appears more <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">dominant<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, as he protects the female character, holds her, drives her in the car, and leads her in committing crimes.<\/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\">When the female character looks worried while in a standoff with police, the male character comforts her by playing a song on their airpods for her. This shows him as <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">sensitive to others\u2019 needs<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> and <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">understanding<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The male character is quite <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">affectionate, tender, gentle, <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">and <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">warm <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">towards the female character, dancing with her, gently touching her face, kissing her hand, and smiling at her. He also shows that he is very <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">loyal <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">to the female character in many instances.<\/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 male character is often holding and lifting up the female character. This portrays her as more <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">childlike<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> and <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">tender<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The female character is very <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">affectionate, gentle, <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">and <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">warm <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">towards the male character, smiling at him and gently touching his face in many instances.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The female character is very <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">loyal <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">to the male character.<\/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 carries a gun and robs a bank with the male character. She also dances with the male character while bullets whiz by them. This all shows her as <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">aggressive, willing to take risks,<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> and having a <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">strong personality<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The female character is shown laying in and throwing around money from robbing the bank.
