Laura Mulvey says that because of males dominating the film industry, females are seen in videos only for aesthetic purposes and are controlled by males, they can be seen as a trophy. She says that they are subject to the "Male Gaze" which is the theory that females are only seen by males as objects for pleasure.
A video that shows this theory is Whistle by Flo Rida, where the woman in the video is objectified.
Another video which shows this theory is love in this club by Akon, all the girls are dancing in bikinis while Akon and the other males are there fully clothed watching and dancing with them.
