The Male Gaze in my video

Does my video conform or reject Mulvey's male gaze theory? 
In certain ways it conforms, for example the provocative suggestions of these shots. 


The use of the tongue and licking and eating things can be seen to be provocative, it suggests that there is a sexual element to the girlsi n the video. This may be seen as this, however by the video consisting of three women, it rejects Mulveys theory in that they are not irrelevant - without them there is no song / video. 


This image is showing a sexual way of licking the knife. It can be said to show the woman as being powerful, however the focus onto her tongue can suggest to be sexualising the shot. 
This shot focuses on the girls Lips, as she takes a bite of the apple. The focus onto a particular facial feature which could be seen to be sexual is implying a sexualisation of the character.

This image is also focusing on the tongue, making it almost seem sexual in a way which shows she enjoys having liquids on her face. Which could be interpreted as sexual.
