What's feminist is listening to whatever I want, despite what some dudes on SOL define as appropriate and fitting for a young woman to listen to. That's an exercise in power and control that affects (or at least attempts to affect) my agency and personhood more than what some rapper has to say about his own sexual desires. But since you're the SOL authority on feminism here, AfricaOwn: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

xabad Posted April 17, 2013 A while back i heard that the biggest consumers of Gangsta rap were women and white youth, i dismissed quickly. But now i am convinced of it as fact. Their living their dark desires and fantasies vicariously through this foul mouthed medium. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
