"Rap music as a whole is disrespectful toward women."
I agree with this statement because a main subject in many rap songs is women. In rap songs women are either disrespected or respected. We can be respected in many ways, but disrespected in many more ways also. In some rap songs, rappers sing about beating women, prostitution, hooking up, or even use foul words to describe them. Music has changed majorly over time and rappers now rap about their lives and their point of view on life. Even though women don't like this form of disrespect, we don't really defend ourselves. Women want attention and will do anything they need to do to get that attention, for example, the way women dress. Women are made to believe that to get a mans attention they need to wear the least amount of clothes possible, so that's what they do. I think women need to be more focused and determined to stop the disrespect given about women, and stand up for themselves.
"Generally speaking, black people do not believe that misogyny and sexism and violence against women are urgent issues ... we still think that racism, police brutality, black male incarceration are the issues that we should be concerned about." -Dr.Beverly Guy-Sheftall, Spelman college
