HuffPo shows admiration for Conservative Women with Rap Video

Tweet

It has been explained to me dozens of times here on mylot. When conservative women are attacked, it isn't about them being women or about the fact that they are conservative women, it's either because that particular conservative woman is ridiculous or extreme or wacky or mean. But certainly, although we found ways to excuse the term "wh0re" when used against a conservative woman, we would condemn anything that was truly sexist or demeaning. We just haven't seen that. Well, you can see it now. The Huffington Post has a rap video up that is so vile and demeaning, so full of explicit lyrics that invoke so much pornographic imagery, that I don't want to quote any of them here. So, if you can stomach it, go see for yourself: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/11/02/my-girls-a-republican_n_777686.html If you either don't want to watch or cannot watch videos, you can find some lyric excerpts here: http://www.newsbusters.org/blogs/erin-brown/2010/11/02/huffington-post-video-mocking-gop-women-contains-sexually-explicit-lyric Now, no one at the HuffPo made this video or wrote the song. But by featuring it prominently on their website and calling it "creatively done" they put their stamp of approval on the denigration of women. In fact, they actually seem to think that the song shows admiration for these women with lyrics that include physical violence such as "I beat her black and blue, but my lady leans red. I want a lady in the street but a freak in the bed." So, do we still think that conservative women are not treated differently just because they are women? Does the HuffPo have plans to find and feature a rap song about beating and sexually abusing liberal women because it shows admiration for them? Can we all agree that this is sick, disgusting, demeaning and dehumanizing?
