Gender in Music Videos - Role Reversal! [Videos]

One on my favorite music videos (and catchy tunes!) of 2014 was Ingrid Michaelson's Girls Chase Boys.



This video is great because it shakes up gender by placing men in the roles that are usually occupied by women in music videos.  What makes the video even better is that Michaelson mocks the Robert Palmer's Simply Irresistible from the 80's. You can use these videos to talk about how the media can reinforce and play with gender.
