Blog 35

So for the commonplace article blog the article I chose was about domestic abuse. When I clicked on the gender tab I wasn’t really expecting that topic to be the forefront but then again I don’t really know what I expected. The article was focusing in on music promoting abuse towards women. It was something that most of us have heard and to be honest the writer didn’t have that many good points. In my opinion someone who is going to hit a woman was probably going to do it before he heard a random song and the music he likes is a representation of that. I don’t feel the music made him go out and do such a thing he just likes that kind of music because it represents things that he likes to do. However right or wrong they may be. She referenced some rap music, which as we all know is as bad as it comes when objectifying women but hey it has a catchy beat so what the heck we still listen to it, and even though I think that some rap music is offensive I know an awful lot of people who listen to that music and don’t go home and beat their significant other. Maybe I’m being too hard on this writer after all it isn’t a 7 page research paper with factual evidence and all that. Oh wait I should probably be writing that at the moment instead of my blog. Thank God for revisions!!!
