We can clearly see a newspaper being put up to block her which suggests the camera angle is in the perspective of the male. However, Beyonce then takes off the glasses and slides her hand down the robe towards her breasts, this implies that she's trying to get the attention of the male on the opposite side of the table. This also suggests that females have to dress and act sexual just to get the attention of men and therefore, this sends a message to the viewers through the music video.
