Sex Kittens Go To College is about a female stripper who becomes a college professor. This film shows drastic change of a role of a female. She is objectified in the film as the men still gaze upon her. Leading her to be seen as an sex object even though she is in a professional role. In addition to this, in She's The Man when Viola is cross dressing, she herself objectifies women whilst playing Sebastian. One specfic scene in the resturant is when Viola's so called "ex-girlfriends" come to vist "him." We can see the women being sexually objectified due to the positioning of the camera, and due to Viola looking at the women through a males perspective etc. Furthermore, in Sex Kittens Go To College, the clothing worn by the female is revealing and therefore leads to the male gaze, allowing the female to be objectified.
