Isn't that what "in general" means?
I also fail to see how, in saying that most of the women that rappers hang with and are filmed with really ARE b-tches, absolves them or prevents them from being degrading to women. Doesn't it just means they ARE propagating the steriotype of woman as sex-toys/objects? |
I agree.
Rap in a sense is very hypocritical. The rappers themselves claim they do not degrade women, and then they go sing songs clearly degrading women and make videos that visually degrades women. And just because women allow themselves to be degraded in these video's doesn't make it ok all of a sudden.
I mean some girls may not care that their "rap wannabe" boyfriend calls them their bitch. But if my boyfriend ever called me a female dog I would crack him one across the face.
Rap and R & B all seem to portray women in the same light, and it always revolves around getting laid or sex of some kind. Songs about sex in general make me uncomfortable so listening to alot of rap really makes me uncomfortable. And the video's are enough to make me gag. Half naked woman jiggling their bums around. How much more degrading can you get? And I can tell you one thing those women who do that do not represent women on an epic scale. In fact they represent what Women are trying to get away from, we shun those types.
