The role of a man portrayed in today’s media (specifically in music videos)?

Music videos these days tend to be very generic. Many of you know how hard it is for women these days in society, media always portrays a women as “Barbie” like, which is far from reality. I think that those unrealistic qualities are being held for men now too. I was watching some popular, new music videos from Rihanna and Nicki minaj. Both videos have a male model(s) walking around shirtless the whole entire time. In every music video there’s always a half naked dude, he usually has nothing to do with the song, he’s just there as a sex symbol, much like how women are in most rap videos.

I cannot say for certain that there is one true male image in the media. There seem to be several. In most rap music videos, we see the tough guy grilled-out thug who shows off his expensive purchases and taste. In those videos, women are usually clumped together with said purchases; much like a trophy. Then we have the younger generation coming in with their adorably hipster geeky-ness that seems to be winning over the “Twilight Generation.” Something considerably different, that would not have been seen generations ago, is the dark and sulking men who write sappy lyrics that pull at your heartstrings while they slither slowly in front of the camera with pursed lips and their hands caressing their face so everyone can see how deep and tortured they are by their feelings. In today’s sitcoms, the men are typically weakened by primitive male-dumbness and completely out of it. Their wives run the household and the kids walk all over them, which is as close to opposite as possible from the 50′s sitcom dads. Meanwhile, you turn on MTV’s Jersey Shore and the chauvinism and sexism pouring out of the fist-pumping and overly manicured self-proclaimed “dudes” is enough to make any feminist gag. They use women, cheat on them and toss them to the side like its nothing…but the women do it too. I love all of it though. The diversity is the spice of life. We can’t all be salt…that would be boring.
