Many songs by male artist have a tendency to degrade women through their lyrics. In some songs, women are referred to as bitches and hoes, and are expected to be sexual concubines, which in many ways is not a compliment. In the song,’ back That Ass Up”, the rapper Juvenile has a line that says, “Hoe who is u playing with back that ass up” (Back That Ass Up). This statement not only shows disrespect for the young woman, it clearly indicates that he is only interested in the woman for her backside and her ability to shake it simulating sex. Is this wh

Another song that emphasizes the structure of a woman body is the Thong Song, by Sisqo. The lyrics in this song encourage women to wear a thong because men think thongs are sexy. The song says, “She had dumps like a truck, thighs like what, baby move your butt, all night long, let me see that thong,” (Thong Song). These lyrics are pin pointing women’s physical attributes, but nothing about their intellects at all. The song is saying that if you wear a thong and dance sexy, men will be attracted to you. So why is that men want women who can move their butts? Is it because they might feel inferior to a woman that has a head on her shoulders? Are women only worth looking at and having sexually?

It seems that a man can be overweight and not really worry about it, but if a woman is five pounds over-weight there, she is unhappy with her self. Why does our society think like this? The movie, “Working”, a hooker reflects about her life as a working girl. It seems that the reason she went to this job is, because it made her feel better about herself. The woman in the story says, “I understood very clear they were not attracted to me for what I was, but as a sex object. I was attractive.” (Roberta Victor, Te
