i feel bad about posting another msn article two days in a row, but this one really infuriated me:

i was most offended by comment about female musicians. i studied the challeges female musicians face for a short time in college and it infuriates me that the author would imply that it's acceptable for men to panic when their partners listen to music performed by women AND that women should add an eminem cd to their collection just to make men more comfortable.
the comments about homosexual men also really frutrated me. believe it or not, the queer men i know don't give a shit about shopping. oh my why do i keep them around then?????
"3. An Eminem CD (something every single girl must own)
What's one of the first places a guy peruses when he walks into a woman's home? Her music collection. Good for you if you have an extensive one. But if all he sees is a stack of girl bands (say, the Indigo Girls, the Go-Go's, Joni Mitchell and the Bridget Jones' Diary soundtrack), he's going to panic. Balance out your collection with one CD, any CD, by Eminem and you have no idea how relieved he'll be. It shows you have an open mind and aren't easily offended-and that's music to any man's ears."
maybe i should panic more when men i know only have dude bands.

pop culture, relationships
