Reprisentation



The media today represents both women and men in lots of different ways, whether this be negative or positive.
In popular musical artist Pusha T's video 'Trouble On My Mind', there is a scene where Pusha and Tyler the creator are sitting in a car with balaclavas over their heads watching two women outside of the car kissing, the women then get in the car and drive off.
This scene represents women in a rather negative way, they are shown as sexual objects for man and are not shown for any other purpose. this differs significantly from the representation of men in the video.
Thew men are shown as the dominant gender, they are both in the front seat and although they are watching the women kiss, they don't look that phased by it, they then let them in the car and drive off. This is a common representation of men and women in this genre of text.
