There is nothing more despicable in today's youth's culture than rap music and the way it degrades women. When I listen to this "c"rap, all I hear is "bitch", "ho", "skank", "gold digger", etc. I hardly ever hear any lyrics that lift females up and put them in a positive position. I remember Tupac Shakur used to write tons of positive songs about his mother and about women in general, but I hardly ever hear that anymore.

This blog is not just about rap. I am deeply concerned about the names that women are being called that don't seem to be a problem to many people, especially women. I can't tell you how often I hear girls refer to themselves as "hos" or "skanks" or "bitches" without even thinking about what it is they are really doing.

Yesterday, in the Politics Forum, some guy called me a "carpet muncher", and didn't really see why that was an issue. That's a term that I find to be extremely offensive, and I let him know. When I told him how offensive it was to me, he laughed at me and accused me of trying to get attention.

Do you know how many lesbians/bi-girls proudly boast about being "carpet munchers"? Why do girls defame themselves like this?

Also, why are there so many negative words for girls, and virtually none for guys. Sure there's "asshole" and "playa"...but...those are not half as nasty as "skank", "slut", "ho", "bitch", "gold digga"...you get my point. The only word that is even on the spectrum is "fag".

A lot of people don't think words are a big deal, but when you look at the big picture, you'll be shocked. "Yeah, I'm a ho". "I'm such a bitch". Why? If a girl is sexually active, why can't she just be proud of being sexually active, instead of calling herself a "ho"? And if a girl is outspoken, independent, and smart (which most "bitches" such as I have been called are), why can't they call themselves that instead of a "bitch"? I don't get it. It's like they don't want to be equal, but instead, they WANT to be insulted, they want to be degraded.

For the record, I'm NOT any of these things and girls that do associate themselves with these words...I'm ashamed of them.
