If you want to know what level we're talking about walk up to your mother or sister and some other significant woman in your life and say "yo ho (nigger), how's my nympho b-tch". After they've slapped the ___ out of you, then you tell me.
If you're not comfortable saying that to your mother or sister why would you call someone elses mother or sister that, or listen to someone singing/rapping about it? |
Exactly, good example.
Just because the media and other genre's of music can be degrading to women, the topic at hand is 'is rap music degrading to women?'. Going into other areas just would make the discussion too broad and off topic fast.

The thing that bothers me the most is that women don't just happen to be degraded, they sign up to be degraded. Women in rap videos, commercials, television, and movies all know what each role offers to them(even the degrading ones) and yet they still sign up for the job basically degrading themselves. I guess dignity can be held back for the love of money, because there are more visual degradements that there are in spoken words.

I know I generalize and I have been accused of it, but I have to say this is one hell of a generalization you've just made. Most women do not and will not sign up to degrade themselves on national television.
The women who dance in the music video's are dancers and what they do is their profession. It's pretty much their job to dance how their asked and yeah they do it for money because it's their jobs. They are a small majority of women and they do not represent all women. And even though they agree to degrade themselves doesn't give anyone the right to assume that women can be freely degraded because of a select few. That is like saying "She deserved to be raped because she whore a skirt and a tank top."
