Feminism In Music Industry

Hi guys today we are taking things from the feminism perspective. Tune in to voice out your opinions about being a woman mind you not just being a woman but how being used as a beneficiary hence you are woman affects you. This brings in lots of arguments such as “is the music by women, for women, and about women (Garofalo 1992:242)”.Not really, seems like they the focal point though because by the looks of things  they the ones who keep the wheels rolling. Looks like every time you look at a music video all you ever see is woman showing off their skin.
Having done research a study shows that when men are shown in the background of a video, they are most often fully clothed. But when women are in the background, approximately half the time they are dressed in ways that expose or focus on their breasts and rear ends (Children Now, Boys to Men: Media Messages About Masculinity, 1999).
I understand we all have our differences about the world and how it operates but how fair is this on woman why should they be used as ways to sell off music. Could they perhaps be objects let’s find out what these guys have to say.
