‘God’ that is exactly why women feel the way they do. As soon as a woman feels the strength to speak boldly about her opinions she’s instantly told to “shut up”. I mean do we really have to “kill ourselves” because of a difference of perspective. I absolutely agree with the article or paper about sexism towards men. Its a fair statement because women just as men overgeneralize and stereotypically assert certain attributes to the opposite sex that they seem fitting. Its not right on either ends and simply put should just be eliminated from music altogether. I’d like to hear a song that justly approached male/female relationships in a realistic and optimistic approach, however the chances of that happening are slim and the occurences of it are even smaller. One should not be condemned for feeling the way they do, we all live and lead different lives and our “struggles” as males or females is just that “OUR” struggles. its not up to anyone else to define what that means for that person. so if a women feels exploited, degraded, abused, oppressed, etc., thats her right to express that, as its men’s right to express theirs as well. if you dont like the music….don’t listen to it. its as simple as that, because unfortunately its an industry operated and run by a selective few that are basically marketing their own perspectives. its what it is.

Allison, shut up. Women do not go through “struggles”. Women deserve the bad things that happen to them because they expect better treatment. Equal rights? Sounds more like you want more! Get off you high-horse and kill yourself.

get off of your self righteous head case. just because you do not understand the struggles women go through does not give you the right to tell US we are being ignorant men don’t know what it is to truly be ridiculed and disrespected because you have boobs and a vagina. if you want women to respect you i suggest you stop being an asshole and learn that women have not even come close to committing the injustices on men than men have on women. by the way i have to notice that you did not even mention the countless songs by men that admit to cheating, rappers abusing a bitch or ho in their song and countless others that cause women to rebut with songs of violence towards men.

Very well put. You have made an excellent case for reverse sexism especially with the example of “if I was a man” which clearly was made to display the privelege that males are born into in our society but is not without risks. When the roles are reversed women often rationalize their sexism by saying they have put up with sexism for so long that their behavior is justified. The key to a more egalitarian society is to learn to walk in each others shoes in order to grasp a better understanding of each other.
