I do not listen to nor do I support hiphop. Most of the musicians (if you can call them that)perpetuate an image of women that goes against every fiber in my being...Calling women "bitches", "ho's", etc is showing blantant disregard for 51% of the population. I cannot understand how one can listen to these lyrics and try to A) defend them or B) say they do not affect their opinions of women. I listen to music that personifies and symbolizes women's struggle to get ahead and stay ahead. Tori Amos, Alanis Morissette, Sarah MacLachlan, Esthero, Kristen Hersh...All of these artists write lyrics that make me proud to be a woman...
