I Wanna Go – Britney SpearsIS IT A FEMINIST MUSIC VIDEO?

Britney Spears is an iconic figure in pop as she is seen to be a role model for women of a similar or age. Moreover, she didn’t select to become a musician, as well as this “I Wanna Go” is a pro feminist song that encourages feminism.

Feminism is women fighting for equal opportunity in a society shared by both men and women. Furthermore those who fight to be equal or more than men are radical feminists because they want to have more opportunity than men.

Britney Spears arrives into an interview and is asked multiple questions about herself and her views on things. When a question arises she then goes to swear at the press. This can be a element of feminism due to her wanting to show her feminine dominance. Furthermore she is being asked questions and is taking charge and dominating the press. Can be seen as a sign of power-seeking for more chances etc.

Britney yet again shows dominance by grabbing the male paparazzi’ camera and throwing it to floor breaking it. Which is seen as an aggressive act. A more male action which shows her pro feminism in the video.

The male gaze can be said to exist in this frame, for example the male that is looking at Britney is obviously staring at her out of attraction. The Male gaze is something which is said to occur for men which makes them view women as objects of pleasure instead of equals. Britney Spears has chosen to show this in her music video for obvious pro-feminism.

Britney has just got rid of her charges by obviously having sex with the policemen using her femininity which obviously lead to the male committing to the Male Gaze. Therefore it is quite evident that feminism is in the video through the methods of showing how women can use their power. It is pro feminism showing how women are dominate through provocative behaviour as well as dress.

Britney is attacking people with her microphone as a sign of power. It shows her dominance in the video and how she is overpowering all the males in the frame. Furthermore in the video you can clearly see majority of the people are males.

Is it feminist

I think that it is feminist due to the fact that it is a very iconic figure that is showing her power and dominance in the music video. She targets males to show her anger/attacks to. Furthermore it may not be the right type of feminism I think that it is a bit radical how she shows all males to view women as objects of pleasure as well as that; I think that it is incorrect to make either gender look bad.
