Femenism

In 1913, Emily Davidson jumped in front of a horse leading to her death in order to send a message regarding womens rights, since then women have earned more rights for example the right to vote. However, women in the media often perform regarding how they feel about their rights or against male dominance. An example of a song about male dominance could be beyonce's 'if i was a boy' in which she refers to how she would comfort women as the claims males don't. However, if you look at miley cyrus' recent music for example 'Wrecking ball' in which she rides a wrecking ball naked, she's basically objectifying herself and using her body to claim attention in my opinion, however other opinions may feel that she's showing a strong image in which she feels that she's proud of her body and she is flaunting herself to show her own dominance and that nobody can control her.
