The return of Chauvinism
This article started off great, but soon lost its way. The author wished to impress upon us that the respect garnered by women in the 70's and 80's by hardwork is now being lost and diluted my modern culture. Young men are inundated by messages from popular entertainment to think of women as 'hos' and 'biyatches'. Many women are also fans of the same entertainment that portrays them as posessions of 'playas'.
However, women too can be playas. There are female rap stars. Granted, the numbers are not comparable. The article was insightful in identifying the issue. However it quickly got side-tracked in a half-baked repudiation of Manufacturing Consent (media controls our modern culture). It finally ended with a whimper where it had started with a bang
