whyy are you listening to that?

I'm getting reallllly sick of songs that put down women.

Songs that objectify, songs that embody patriarchy, songs that talk about wanting to "do her good"... it's reallllllly becoming annoying.

I never really liked those kinds of songs, but there were always a few that would get to me... a few that i just COULDNT help but like... songs that had/have a great beat or a great voice or something... but now even THOSE songs (for the most part) are bugging the hell out of me.

Honestly.

It's amazing how many women LOVE those songs...

... it's like.. come onnnn...
it's like... Jewish people liking songs about incinerating people...
or MLK liking songs about blasting African Americans, or songs about the KKK or something...
or Native Americans liking songs about colonization...
or Japanese people liking songs about taking people from their homes and shoving them into a camp...
i mean come onnn...
would it really matter if the song had a "good beat"? .. seriously..
There's plenty of "good beats" out there...

Why are we listening to songs that degrade us?

It doesn't matter whether they "have a negative affect" on the listener or anything...

It's just the mere fact that, there they are, singing about us, saying RUDE things about putting us down...... WHY would anyone want to listen to that?
