'Enlightened Sexism' in Media Obscures Reality

[GONAVY]

The Rock says that women need to know their damn roles and shut their mouths.

Now why you diggin' me
Why you stickin' me
You always get what you need
While I've grown deaf to you
What's really left of you

You can yell
You can scream
You can be real mean but

I can't hear you no more
No more
Well, I can't hear you
No more
Yeah

You used to be so bland
You used to understand
You always gave me a hand
But now you're getting bold
You know it's getting old
I guess I know where you're really at

Now you just talk about your fancy friends
And all the money they can spend
They all drive Mercedes Benz
Better strap on my guitar
Gotta be a big rock star
I got it turned up to 10

So I can't hear you... no more
No more
No more
I can't hear you... no more
Baby baby baby
I can't hear you... no more baby
Aw babe I can't hear ya no more
I can't hear you... no more...
Well

Stop all your bitchin'
Back in the kitchen

You'd better straighten up
It's time that you woke up
You better learn to be sweet
You been on the rag
All you do is nag
It means nothing to me

Cause
I can't hear you... no more
I can't hear you... no more
Baby baby baby
I can't hear you... no more no more
I can't hear you
I can't hear you
I can't hear you no more
I can't hear you
I can't hear you no more
I can't hear you

Ah and the baiting continues, yes?

Not at all.  I agree with the truth of it, but also feel that that the truth of it reflects sexism.

Not at all.  I agree with the truth of it, but also feel that that the truth of it reflects sexism.

On a specific case it may, but to say that all employers are sexist is just a cop out.  When a white guy tosses a rock at a black guy he's seen as racist, but does that make all whites racist?

true, beeker.  Not what I meant at all.
