Objectify Women

[Verse 1]
She makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up
Just one touch
And I errupt like a volcano and cover her with my love
Babygirl you make me say (Ohh ohhh ohhhh)
And I just can't think (of anything else I'd rather do)
Than to hear you sing (sing my name the way you do)
When we do our thing (when we do the things we do)
Babygirl you make me say (Ohh ohhh ohhhh)

[Chorus]
Sexy love girl the things you do
Keep me sprung keep running back to you
Who I love making love to you
Babygirl you know your my (sexy love...)

[Verse 3]
Oh baby what we do it makes the sun come up
Keep on lovin' til it goes back down
And I don't know what I would do if I would lose your touch
That's why I'm keepin' you around... my sexy love

Those are some of the lyrics to a song, "Sexy Love" which Angela absolutely adores. Now, due to my past, my girlfriend and I had a conversation regarding strip clubs. Of course she gave the typical female response:
"It's degrading to women. It objectifies women."
That whole routine. Now, I sit back and listen to songs like "sexy love" and I find myself wondering how it's any different. Girls will adore a song, sung by a black man, that is basically saying he's with her because the sex is good, but men watching naked women is bad. They can hang posters of oiled up guys on their walls, but guys admiring a female body objectifies them. How is that right?

Another very popular song, "U and Dat," is very popular, where the artists are very openly talking about wanting to get to them and hook up with them for the night. "Whisper in your ear while I'm holding my dick" is one of the lines in this song. Another example of a song that makes women out to be nothing more than a piece of ass. Fun for a night.But the girls love it. They request it all the time. They buy the cds.

The artist "Akon" sings a song called "Smack That." As you can probably assume by the title, it referring to smacking the girls ass. Throughout the song he talks about "maybe go to my place and just kick it like tae bo, and possibly bend you over and smack that." Another man referring to women as nothing more than a piece of ass. But it sits on top of Yahoo Music's video list. I hear it on the radio all the time. Does this not objectify women as much as exotic dancing or pornography? What's the difference? What part of the equation am I missing?

Another great example of a very popular song that objectifies women is “Laffy Taffy.” The whole song is about a girl dancing (at one point “on a pole”) and how the rappers want to take the girl home. See, if a rapper talks about strippers, or goes to a strip club, or sings about taking a girl home for sex, or lusting after a girl… it’s ok. But if anyone else does it, then they’re degrading women.

I could do this for days. The song “Gimme That” by “Lil Boosie” (wtf?) and “Lil Webbie” (WTF?) is the exact same thing. The song says “Girl gimme that pussy.” That’s the fucking song. I can’t do it. Someone please explain this to me. Show me the logic.
