Good response Jess. No one forces adult women to dance in any videos with negative lyrics. Freedom of expression. While I am of course against rape, as Hugh Hefner said: “The notion that Playboy turns women into sex objects is ridiculous. Women are sex objects. If women weren’t sex objects, there wouldn’t be another generation. It’s the attraction between the sexes that makes the world go ‘round. That’s why women wear lipstick and short skirts.” Replace the word Playboy with rap.
Blacks rape. Don't hate. It's just what they do. If you think the American judicial system is racist, as to why it's filled up with black people, you're wrong. You want facts about rapes and murders? Look at Africa. Especially South Africa. Direct from Wikipedia: "According to a survey for the period 1998–2000 compiled by the United Nations, South Africa was ranked first for rapes per capita. One in three of the 4,000 women questioned by the Community of Information, Empowerment and Transparency said they had been raped in the past year. More than 25 per cent of South African men questioned in a survey published by the Medical Research Council (MRC) in June 2009 admitted to rape; of those, nearly half said they had raped more than one person. Three out of four of those who had admitted rape indicated that they had attacked for the first time during their teens. South Africa has amongst the highest incidences of child and baby rape in the world."
"I can't remember a Diddy lyric that ever implied rape, either, but that's also because I have decent taste and can't remember any Diddy lyrics at all."
"Bitches ain't shit but hoes and tricks, Lick on these nuts and sick the dick, Get the fuck out after you're done, And I hope in my ride to make a quick run..."
That classic chorus is entiiiirely respectful of women. Gloria Steinem even has a co-writing credit. Besides all of that, it makes a great wedding toast too!
If I went the rest of my days without hearing another rap performed by some peabrain with his pants hanging under his ass cheeks, my life would be richer.
Can't degrade a woman without her consent? Pretty easy to photoshop some naked pix of practically anyone that will at least make you do a double take to make sure they aren't real, post them all over the place, my guess is the actress would be pretty degraded if she saw them.
These actresses keep showing up with powder caked on their faces. It is very obvious, they know it will garner attention. Ashley Judd is very desperate for attention right now.
Only the ignorant will argue that rap's general depiction of women is ok and harmless. There are 10 year old girls watching Flo Rida music videos on MTV at 11am thinking that to be cool they need to learn to appeal to men in the same way the women in his clips behave. Its the same when you see big posters for anything considered 'cool' and they almost always have a half naken woman seductively staring into the camera.
No, I'm not a feminist - just a mother of 3 little girls and wishing for some change.
"No, I'm not a feminist - just a mother of 3 little girls and wishing for some change." Yes you are. And so what? Feminism is the desire to be a free and whole human being. Why apologize for being a feminist? What are you afraid of? Some random man not finding you fuckable for wanting to be in charge of your own life? Your own reproductive decisions? Afraid some stranger on the internet won't appreciate you wanting your female children to be able to make their life decisions for their own benefit, rather than be dependent on a man who finds them fuckable enough to buy them things? Don't you want them educated and able to support themselves and not have to shake their asses in a rap video while they are young, only to be left bereft of the ability to make a living later (post ~27yrs of age) when they are no longer 'fuckable'? Don't be afraid to be labeled a feminist, and don't you dare apologize for wanting basic human rights for your daughters.
Women are degraded without their consent every day, in every way shape and form. Anyone who says different is a blind and stupid sheep. As long as society bases a woman's worth on her physicality and women cave to that pressure it will continue. If men continue to expect women to be hypersexualised for approval it will continue. It is hard to fight it as it is so pervasive in society, but we have to pick our battles.

She may be off her meds again but she is right about rap culture and the glorification of violence drugs and misogony.

She made her career stripping her clothes off in movies. I think that qualifies her as someone who knows a thing or two about ho depiction.

#3 i get what you are saying but i also think by the same logic men are sex objects, too.

Replace the word rap with "what passes for shitty music."
Fixed it for ya.

she's right.
By anonymous, on April 9, 2011 10:12:38
She doesn't like rap. I don't like shitty "thriller" movies that feature lousy acting and stupid, predictable "twists" at the end. So what?
By anonymous, on April 9, 2011 10:28:03
Umm...you mean there are people out there that DON'T hate rap? I didn't know that.
By you learn something new every day, on April 9, 2011 10:28:43
I agree with her, but the real pressing question that needs to be asked is...
will she sit in the front or the back?

... I concur with Ashley Judd-- Men need not degrade women. Women already do fantastic job in self degradation....Artofwar

You can rape a woman without her consent, but no one can degrade a woman in a rap video without her consent.
Well said.

Rap died when ice ice baby crossed over. What music you listening too is like any other music playing now: Shitty Music.

Big statement from a woman who played alot of victim roles in her movies. But I do love her nude scenes.

Ashley knows black people?

Can you see her & snoop having a conversation? You're right, me neither.
