Independant Lens
would have gone to bed but a fascinating docu on Hip Hop came on: Independant Lens episode Hip Hop: Beyond Beats and Rhymes on sexism, masculinity, and homophobia in hip hop
film of the way these hip hop men molest women on the street [not in music videos] is the same as white frat boys. BUT the women say the rappers calling women "bitches" aren't talking about them, RIGHT AFTER a man pointed at them saying "They're bitches, right there." the women's ignorance makes me really sad.
this has reinforced my dedication, when presenting myself as an artist [most usually a belly dancer] to NOT present myself as a sex object! social change begns at an individual level, it's all any of us can do.
also, some gay men say pictures of the rappers shirtless, looking strong is homoerotic. NO! it's EROTIC. argh.
