<p>Any suggestions/ideas/arguments/comments on “rap videos demoralizing women” ???</p>
<p>no god dammit, all these people. just watch the thing and listen and if u don’t like it then cool don’t watch it. Those women are professionals who do that with full consent by themselves. Is modeling demoralizing? Anyways what if it is? Thats our culture and at the end anyone stupid enough to take rap videos seriuosly is really dumb anyways.
sorry bout my rant.</p>
<p>Sigh .</p>
<p>but why do they consent themselves to this? I dont know about you, but in my opinon, women should represent “in-touch” awareness with emotions rather than stripping down to bare skin on public TV. I’m not saying that males aren’t aware of their emotions, but either way, rap videos seem to demoralize people as objects.</p>
<p>You’re, like, five years late.</p>
<p>sorry. But i have to do this for speech class… and I thought starting a conversation would give me more suggestions than asking for help…</p>
<p>some do, some don’t… same way for rock, pop, etc. videos… some people will do anything for money- bottom-line.</p>
<p>We’re all whores in some way… the question is how we sell ourselves, and how highly.</p>

<p>Yes, but the “models” allow themselves to be portrayed in this way, so its a classic case of exploitation.</p>
<p>I can’t believe some of you. Rap videos objectify women. Just because the women consented to it does not mean that ALL of us are asking for it! Those women wanted some easy money and did not think about the consequences for the rest of us. Even if they did, there would be another person desperate for money to fill her spot. Just because these women consented does NOT mean that it is okay. It is disgusting.</p>
<p>I find that often, the biggest obstacles to feminism are women. No unified front…</p>
<p>Yes but no more than any other pop culture phenomenon. It’s not as if rock music has a history of respecting women either.</p>
<p>if you choose to put yourself in that situation then i do not believe that you are being objectified. now i do have a problem with guys that take that they see in the videos/songs and apply them to innocent females in the real world.</p>
<p>Why do people make the rappers out to be the bad guys, and paint to women to be victims? The models know the consequences by now because it is well publicized in regards to what goes on behind the scenes. The rappers are merely being opportunists. I have yet to see a relevant coalition of women working for reforms in these videos, so what does that say?</p>
<p>It means that money is more important than dignity. As I said, we’re all buyers and sellers. Only the products differ.</p>
<p>Porn videos demoralize/objectify women, but no one seems to be complaining.</p>
<p>I sense a correlation.</p>
<p>Then you can say that boxing objectifies girls to with ring girls in between rounds</p>
<p>If a male did this speech agreeing that these videos DO demoralize women, would he be mistakenly perceived as gay? I do think that this is a problem, but I don’t want to do it if people are going to think that I am gay… because, the fact is, most guys do watch these videos in lust, and any guy that opposes it might be seen as the weird one. </p>
<p>If I WERE to do this speech anyways, might there be any lines or statement that I could incorporate into the speech that would profess myself as NON-gay??</p>
<p>I’m sick of this “demoralizing, objectifying” talk. I really doubt these women care at all about whatever message they’re allegedly sending the public.</p>
<p>I mean, come on. It’s a freaking job. Porn star, exotic dancer, stripper – those are as valid careers as doctors and lawyers. Why? Because they can make money. As long as there’s a market and a demand, there will be people to supply it.</p>
