specific roles to males and females. A study by Mass et al., examined adult’s perceptions of how being male or female will affect their sexuality and beliefs about sex. For example, the sexual double standard, explains that “men are allowed greater sexual freedom than women” (Maas et al., 2015, p. 619). This is where negative beliefs about sex arise.

because men are not expected to submit to society’s demands to please the audience. There is an obvious amount of misogyny already embedded into our society that we are so numb to how women are treated.

to how the female gender is stereotyped and perceived is questionable. Audiences are now becoming more used to exposure of the female body as it is seen everywhere and they are passively taking it in not questioning music videos, or even advertisements that promote objectification of women.
