Phallosentrism

Phallocentrism is something that exists in not just about all media texts, but also we are surrounded by it everywhere in the real world. Phallic like objects are things like the name suggests appear similar to or represent the male phallus. Things that often represent this are things such as weapons or cigars as one in the western world can point out certain cinema icons such as James Bond is as popular as he is for such things while eastern and in particular Japanese audiences will point towards Cloud strife or Sephiroth although they may seem feminine in some appearance the two carry weapons that are bigger than they themselves are as well as architecture.

This applies to the music video in the form that one boy is lusting after another (is there anything more phallosentric than homosexuality)? A number of like sexual imagery is used through out my music video such as the protagonist is doing lip-synchronization while sitting on a pole, the part where the protagonist lights the cigarette in the mouth of the second character etc. Phallosentrism plays very heavily in my music video and thus many images and ideas put across may be rejected by feminism.
