I'm also both a feminist and an avid pop culture fan and don't see anything wrong with you listening to the music you like to listen to. Most music has many different intrepretations. You listen to it and have it mean what you want...or have it mean nothing at all and just listen to it for fun. It's when people listen to music and take it the wrong way (like listening to Adam's Song and then committing suicide) that's the problem. I personally do not like rap or hip hop music, not because of what it says, just because it doesn't appeal to me. My favorite musicians are Sarah McLachlan, Dido, Barenaked Ladies (no, their name doesn't offend me...it's funny), 3 Doors Down, etc. That just happenes to be the music I like the most.
One question: What tv shows do the feminists you know condemn?
