Maybe if society truly committed itself to being as sensitive as people like you claim it is, women wouldn't face a 1 in 5 risk of being raped in their lifetimes. What he said isn't the same as if he acted like Bill Cosby, but it's still part of a process of dehumanizing women that's been going on for millennia.

He's bringing in unwilling participants in his drama. It's one thing to use a freestyle rap to mock someone's talent, but another to use it to joke about beating and raping someone. Imagine if you were either of these women. Imagine if there's a rap out there talking about doing violence to you and everyone is aware…

My adorable little mother put it best when I was 17 and soon hard and made her listen to my cool rap music - "it's a shame he's so vulgar because he's really quite clever"

I know you're making an intellectual debate because the entire "but arrrrt..." excuse is nothing more than an intellectual debate, and a particularly shallow one. Art does not get a free pass on being set against the context of the world it is created in, art does not get a free pass in considering it's impact and…

You know that scream therapy and pillow-punching psychologists used to have people do? They finally figured out that "letting out your rage" by acting on it just engendered more rage.

Yeah, well when I saw him in Chicago at Lollapalooza over the summer, he decided it would be a great idea to punctuate the pauses between his songs with gunshot sounds. In Chicago. Apparently some people in the crowd hit the floor when it first happened, it freaked them out so much. This was on top of the fact that he…

Anyone is an audience that has just as much write to tell Eminem to go fuck himself as Eminem has to talk about how much he likes raping people. You're engaging in the classic blunder of believing that because misogyny is such a massive cultural institution that scope lies so beyond the actions of any single…

I would tend to agree with the sentiment, but also argue that he should keep that form of therapy to himself, personal raps he doesn't release. Putting them all out there in the social consciousness does a lot more harm than good in normalizing hatred for women.

He's been doing the misogynist thing for so many years now, I would argue that the "therapy" isn't working. Like, y u still so mad at women, Em? Perhaps take up painting instead?

Oop! #whiteprivilege is when a white male rapper can write the most violent, misogynistic, racist music and be labeled one of the best, if not, the best rapper to ever exist. White people will look at Eminem and say that his music has "meaning", but say that other rappers (i.e. black rappers) write nothing but…

Or he could just treat women well because they are people and not "somebody's daughter." Empathy should not be this hard, guys.

Oh, thank goodness.

I was worried that Eminem having a young daughter might make him rethink his opinions on women as actual people or the prevalence of male rage as a tool of control. I'm glad to see that being the father to an 18 year old girl who is about to be out on her own surrounded by hormone fueled males…

I'm not a fan of Iggy or her music, but this is an agreeable sentiment.

I know. Really? I know they are supposedly protected by the 1st amendment but what about hate crime laws?

I have black hair too, and it gets greasy rather quickly. Whenever I use dry shampoo, it looks good for maybe 1-2 hours, but then *poof* the spell is broken and my hair ends up looking grimier than ever. Although some dry shampoos work better than others, like Klorane.

You didn't sound rude at all!!! I just wasn't clear the first time. It's a bad idea for me to post after 1am, but I'll never learn.

I'm really rubbish with hair products, except for dry shampoo – it makes my hair bigger and bouncier. I use it on totally clean hair!

I've never used it. I'm a brunette whose hair requires daily washing. I shower every day so I just wash my hair when I'm in there.

I've got fine fluffy curls so I'm at least wetting my hair every morning anyway. Dry shampoo would serve me no purpose.

Yes!!! And it's so easy and smells good.
