Feminist Theory

The Feminist Theory is where some women believe that they have been subjected as objects to men. This ideology can be proven by looking at certain media texts in music magazines. The majority of music magazines have attracted their audiences using what the Feminist Theory explains as "the male gaze" created by Laura Mulvey. This belief relates to photos of women that some people might deem inappropriate, an example of this is Lily Alien on the front cover of "Q" magazine. Though this cover doesn't reveal any sensitive parts of a woman, its message is clearly going to draw the male eye. Therefore women have strong evidence that they are seen as a sex appeal in some media texts. 

Some can argue that the media has been constructed for men, this can be explained through film productions. In earlier years of film there has always been a male dominated role in a film. Women weren't usually casted for the lead role in a film but always enough where casted as a second for the male to either fall in love with, or rescue a damsel in distress. This would mean that these roles for women where required to be attractive which would make the male population eager to see the film. A great example would be the James Bond films. Lead male, saves lives and always gets the attractive women. This has been a trend throughout all the James Bond films, one of the reason its sold well.
