Laura Mulveys main points where on the male gaze. She spoke about women just being objects of desire.
She says how there are two different ways that men perceive the women on screen either as "Voyeuristic" seeing women as whores or "Fetishistic" seeing women as Madonnas.
There is also the theory of dismemberment where women are only shown in sections. One genre that uses this very predominately in music videos is hip-hop the idea of "video bitches" or "vixens"
