masculine actions. Britney is kicking chairs, and dancing around them in a provocative manner, speeding down roads in sporty cars and making more rash and sudden movements. Not only this, but it shows her having tattoos and wearing more ragged clothing. All she wears in this music video is black, which is a sexy color that also shows a strength and a toughness compared to the pastel colored clothing she wore in "Hit Me Baby One More Time. "These are characteristics and actions that are often associated with men and are qualities that clearly are much different from her innocent appeal in her earlier music videos. Aaron Devor can attest that men are typically concerned with achieving egotistical dominance, in a similar manner that Britney does in this music video. A sense of self-reliance, confidence and toughness are definitely present in the music video and Devor mentions that this exudes masculinity. By doing so, she redefines her earlier images of what it means to be sexy. This video suggests that strength, confidence and boldness are sexy traits. Aaron Devor would explain the rational reasoning for this to be that men find girls who show these qualities appealing because they see characteristics that they possess themselves. Hence, these masculine qualities would make a girl “more desirable” and harder to get. According to Devor men have a competitive nature, so of course they would find a girl who’s a chase, sexy.
