Asia2000, have you ever read anything by Camille Paglia? I heard her talk one time about how she was in the first wave of feminism and they told her she shouldn't like the Rolling Stones because of the song "Under My Thumb" - which they called anti-woman. Her argument is that she appreciated it as art and she had a real problem with people telling her something was bad art because of the message.

Basically, I like whatever I like and I'm not going to stop because "feminists" tell you it isn't female-centric. That kind of thinking is as stifling and backward as the 1950's view of women as homemakers and nothing else. Feminism is supposed to be about empowering you to be a strong human being, not protecting you from that CD because Puffy says a naughty word.
