Mulvey said: 'In a world ordered by sexual imbalance, pleasure in looking has been split between active/male and passive/female. The determining male gaze projects its fantasy onto the female figure which is styled accordingly'
What she is insinuating is that the appearance of an artist in a music video is carefully thought out. Whether it be the way the artist dresses, their hair etc. The camera may dismember the artist and focus on a particular part of the body such as legs or chest creating the male gaze which attracts audiences.
for example:
This video reveals alot of miley cyrus' body parts and it the video portrays her very seductively attracting the male gaze. showing stereotypically;;y how men in this current culture view women through the use of dismemberment
