why do people always pull hip-hop and rap as a misogynist area of music? yes, many rappers are misogynistic, but it’s not the only genre. let’s talk about country music, about the preacher’s daughter trope, the cutoff jeans, the get-her-drunk mentality; let’s talk about pop music, about the drugs and the clubs and the possessive “love songs”; let’s talk about alternative music, about “she’s not like other girls” and the manic pixie dream girl; let’s talk about classical music, about the exclusion of women now and in history.

let’s talk about how everyone’s first reaction is to villainize a primarily black genre before criticizing literally anyone else.

We didn’t have a word for our, as you guys call, gay/lesbian people. So we coined that word as an umbrella for all our tribes. We never said, “Well, you’re transgender. You’re bisexual. You’re lesbian.” We never knew those terms. Those are all from Western culture, you know, LGBTQ and all that. So on some level, it’s about getting rid of labels. Those terms were forced upon us.

don’t you miss the days when we didn’t have to be so politically correct all the time?

It just bothers me that significant pre-colonial societies had relatively loose notions of gender, sexuality, and heteronormativity and it was the imposition of Western colonial systems that informed strict binaries in those spheres but now… now when post-colonial societies are still stuck in their previously forced yet regressive dichotic norms and the West has only recently begun shedding its entrenched ignorance in the name of social progression, it has also somehow simultaneously become the champion of forward-thinking beliefs. And that’s just bullshit on so many levels.

Okay I don’t like Chris Brown, but it’s annoying how whenever something awful happens to a woman celebrity people always use, “Chris Brown hit Rihanna and still has a career but…” As if CB didn’t face any harsh criticisms, had his music banned from radio stations, and was banned from performing at shows. And it’s not just Chris Brown but people use other black men who are abusive. They’re plenty of white celebrities who are abusers and don’t face any punishment. Emma Roberts (white feminists fave), Woody Allen, Eminem, Charlies Sheen, Mel Gibson, etc.

Basically, stop only using black men as the only faces of abuse. Also, stop comparing what happened with CB and Rihanna to what’s going on with Kesha and Dr. Luke, because the situations are completely different.
