Together with the songs melody and lyrics, music videos are powerful tools that tattoo
human minds with images that shape a persons attitude. Throughout the twentieth
century, music videos have influenced various perceptions on the images of women. No
matter what the women in the music videos are singing about, or what actions they are
doing in the videos, there is almost always a sexual overtone. For women to be portrayed
in this way has many consequences, for the images that we view in every day life shape the
way we think. Viewing a music video that has a woman being portrayed in an overtly
sexual manner once may not have a very serious affect on a person, but seeing many
different music videos all portraying women sexually, and seeing these videos over and
over, does indeed shape a person’s mind to view women with much less respect than they
would otherwise.
