Gender+Roles

Adding onto what we talked about last week in class, I came across a really interesting video on gender roles in music. After watching the video I realized that it wasn't just rap music that materialized women, but all types and genres of music. Country, pop, r and b, soul, etc. I also found that sexism in music existed universally. We can see definite gender roles being produced within these music videos. It makes me really wonder about where the youth of the world getting their information from. As we talked about last week, children think that porn is what sex is really like. I definately think that youth who are being subjected to these video's and even lyrics of this music, are being affected in one way or another.

Any thoughts? Taylor
