Women are represented within the pop genre in a very sexual way, a lot of them dress in very revealing clothing and have photo's in magazines and online in which they expose their bodies to the public, unusually this is not really seen in any other genre of music and therefore female pop artists get a bad name, there is also a very visible theme that all female artists in this genre got to where they are because of their appearance and not their actual musical talent. The over sexualised women from this music genre are often bad role models, this can be seen by Miley Cyrus' VMA performance in which she danced in a raunchy outfit in a very distasteful fashion, this sets a bad example for young girls who looked up to her when she was still known as Hannah Montana from her Disney channel show, the video to the side explains why she may have felt pressured into acting this way by the pop genre.However, not all female artists are like this, an example of an artist who is not overly sexualised is Adele who wears tasteful outfits and performs respectfully, she could be seen as one of few of these artists though as not many are very tasteful.
Women in this Genre are also seen as being quite promiscuous and are often noticed for the people they have dated, that is often more important for their image than the actual music they release, a good example of this is taylor swift who is known for her relationships with numerous famous men and her break up songs which sell very well as people want to know who they are about.
