Laura Mulvey theory- Nelly Furtado

                      In Nelly Furtados music video for 'Maneater' she goes against Laura Mulveys theory in many ways. Including the fact that in the intro she is seen in a leather jacket climbing through a broken fence in order to find her very large dog. Typically a woman would be assosiated with a small cute dog and not a biker jacket, but Nelly goes against this. When having to go through a dark alley alone, Nelly Furtado also shows no fear- showing that she is a strong woman. Continuing into a dark location Nelly isnt fazed by all the big men staring at her, instead she starts dancing. The lyrics even go against the theory 'She's a maneater'. Although there are women and men 'sexy' dancing Nelly is happy to walk around alone through the eeary club, going with the theory is the fact that she uses her body to have any power she can get, for instance when she takes off her first top and everyone stops to stare. Yes she is a strong woman but she knows she has to use her body/ act sexy in order to get what she wants.
