Black women are being used by Black men in the media. These are the type of songs that are going to keep her in the industry and making money. Men control the industry and we are being exploited for our sexuality.

Also, there are Black women rappers who tell about how they love their bodies. For example, WAP is not supposed to be taken seriously but Black men think that is really how women want to be treated.

Discussion of enthusiastic consent. . .
Megan is going to school.

On what the outrage from “WAP” revealed to her, Megan says, “Although we have so many incredible women in hip-hop killing it right now and in the past, there’s still a shift [that needs to happen] around the perception of a woman owning her sexuality. Powerful women who have agency over their bodies aren’t something to look down on.”
