Second only to the labeling of women as "prey", essentially boiling them down to objects. rosegeespeaks https://padlet.com/rosegeespeaks/chnzryn1l0i8/wish/196977438 2017-10-13 21:31:12 UTC https://padlet.com/rosegeespeaks/chnzryn1l0i8/wish/196977438 Act like a drunk straight guy rosegeespeaks https://padlet.com/rosegeespeaks/chnzryn1l0i8/wish/196978216 - don't take no for an answer
- interpret all interaction as a possible hope for a "hook-up"
- impose the standard that women must be both virginal and slutty at the same time
- practice these rules most authentically within a group of your friends 
- interpret yourself as a gift to her / that you know what she needs ]]> 2017-10-13 21:39:40 UTC https://padlet.com/rosegeespeaks/chnzryn1l0i8/wish/196978216 rosegeespeaks https://padlet.com/rosegeespeaks/chnzryn1l0i8/wish/196978355 "I know you want it"]]> 2017-10-13 21:40:57 UTC https://padlet.com/rosegeespeaks/chnzryn1l0i8/wish/196978355 rosegeespeaks https://padlet.com/rosegeespeaks/chnzryn1l0i8/wish/196978464 "You're a good girl!"]]> 2017-10-13 21:41:58 UTC https://padlet.com/rosegeespeaks/chnzryn1l0i8/wish/196978464 rosegeespeaks https://padlet.com/rosegeespeaks/chnzryn1l0i8/wish/196978534 "I hate these blurred lines"]]> 2017-10-13 21:42:26 UTC https://padlet.com/rosegeespeaks/chnzryn1l0i8/wish/196978534 rosegeespeaks https://padlet.com/rosegeespeaks/chnzryn1l0i8/wish/196978769 "Just let me liberate you"]]> 2017-10-13 21:44:19 UTC https://padlet.com/rosegeespeaks/chnzryn1l0i8/wish/196978769 rosegeespeaks https://padlet.com/rosegeespeaks/chnzryn1l0i8/wish/196978890 "Must wanna get nasty]]> 2017-10-13 21:45:23 UTC https://padlet.com/rosegeespeaks/chnzryn1l0i8/wish/196978890 What this says about this particular genre of masculinity rosegeespeaks https://padlet.com/rosegeespeaks/chnzryn1l0i8/wish/196979102 2017-10-13 21:47:28 UTC https://padlet.com/rosegeespeaks/chnzryn1l0i8/wish/196979102 rosegeespeaks https://padlet.com/rosegeespeaks/chnzryn1l0i8/wish/196979647 This music is targeted at heterosexual males and ties easily into "the girl hunt", accurately assessing and showing how straight males act when intoxicated and in a group of their peers being held accountable to the guy code. Overall, it's giving the impression that masculinity in "pop" or "alternative R & B" is a system which expects men to subjugate women within the hook up culture. Though not all songs in the genre propagate this attitude, it's important to regonize the tone of misogyny that exists within it. ]]> 2017-10-13 21:53:42 UTC https://padlet.com/rosegeespeaks/chnzryn1l0i8/wish/196979647
