Laura Mulvey's theory- Change piper young

You could say that her theory does support our music video because piper is playing the damsel in distress in her video, this is playing on the fact that she is still wearing red lipstick which is very feminine and sexual in most men's eyes this is because a lot of women in the olden days would wear red lipstick to be seen as sexual on TV and off, also the colour represents love and passion  therefore men are going to look at this and see a feminine sexual women who needs to be saved. However piper doesn't need a man and when she walks away from it I feel like it will reach out to the women and make them feel powerful therefore allowing them to envy and want to be her for being strong enough to do that where some women cannot do that in real life. Laura says that men see them as being sexual and want to be with the girl that is portrayed as a sexual character and women are jealous and want to be her due to men fancying her, how she looks and her strong personality that she has so i do think that we support her theory although its hard to say that women will want to look and be like me as piper because she is fictional and I'm no superstar so I think maybe if this was real we could actually test it out but so far on paper it does support the theory.
