Within both videos they show women as with holding less relevance and acknowledgement as men, women are seen as inferior in both music videos not just due to the lyrics sang but because of the actions taking place within the scenes as well. They are portrayed as inferior as in Swifts “The Man” she expresses how if she was a man she would gain more respect for certain actions that she carries out.
