Trashy Music Phase

I have Nicki Minaj's "Anaconda" and Robin Thicke's "Blurred Lines" on repeat on a playlist, and I feel like I'm being brainwashed because I can't stop listening and I don't want to stop playing them.

Maybe subconscious me likes to listen to lyrics about the objectification of women and endorses songs promoting rape culture. Shame on you, subconscious me. Or really, shame on me.

Onto something that's way more serious than my trashy music trashy lyric phase- I recently went to a lecture that talked about homosexuality, and I really enjoyed the lecture. The presenter explained the concept behind the word "homophobia", because a lot of us are now using that quote "you're not scared, you're just an asshole". The way the presenter explained it, right, was that you're not strictly scared of someone homosexual, but rather you're scared of being seen as homosexual. From that perspective, it makes perfect sense, and the presenter went on the say that actually, a lot of  homophobia stems from deeply-rooted misogyny in our society- and that made even more sense.

Like, think about it, when people think about someone who's gay a lot of people think of men with classically "feminine"tendencies- from stuff like dressing neatly to endorsing in pink products. As far as I'm aware though, one's sexual orientation does not determine one's gender-expression, so really there's no way all gay men will act female. And in truth, what is acting female, anyway? Don't we just associate something as being male/ female because of the distribution we see? See I personally find it repulsive that valuing cleanliness and fashion are considered "girly", like, just because you have a penis between your legs doesn't mean you need to act like a total slob and undervalue personal-hygiene. One of the most infuriating comments I hear is "his room is messy, but he's a boy" or "you need a girlfriend around to keep your house tidy". How terribly presumptuous- who in their right mind would date someone so that they could clean someone's house for them?

I'm totally not thinking about my somewhat-recently married brother who has gotten away with a trashy room all his life and will continue to get away with it.

Well this has completely derailed from the original topic of "trashy and inappropriate music I like". Here, let me link you one. I actually had this one playing while my Mom was in the room once. Luckily she didn't pick up the lyrics.
