Music


Some of the most sexist remarks ever made were probably made by a angry man rapping. I don't really know why rap music is so violent and sexist sometimes but thats just how it is. Eminem is a huge culprit of using sexism in songs. His songs are literally sometimes so vulgar and offensive that they make no sense.
 A prime example of some sexist things Eminem has said from a recent song called So Much Better

“I got 99 problems and the bitch ain't one / She's all 99 of them I need a machine gun / I take ‘em all out I hope you hear this song / And go into a cardiac arrest, have a heart attack / And just drop dead and I'mma throw a f**ing party after this”.

And thats not even the worst of the song. The problem with Eminem is that his subject matter of songs is usually abusive rather than sexual like most other rappers. Unfortunately Eminem is extremely popular amongst teens but tbh I actually am a fan, not because of the abusive subjects, but just of his songs in general so yeah this is sort of hypocritical. Teenagers that listen to this music soon begin to develop ideas about women and are influenced by the lyrics which is unfortunate and kind of scary. Eminem's music glorifies the abuse of women and talks about it constantly. This is a prime example of how men seek out revenge on women who have done them wrong in the past by  using every opportunity to be dominant over women.
