Above is the HTML link to an article discussing the sexism of "gangsta rap" music. It is a sociological study that asks the question: "Does exposure to
misogynistic rap music result in increased sexism among its listeners?" It relates well to our discussion about sexism in music over Bell Hook's assertions and the essay choice that was available for last weeks weekend essay. The problem with the research is that presently it seems difficult to be able to gauge exactly how much this affects young males in the world through promoting violence and sexism against women. As a result, the article goes into what is called "Stereotype priming" which is basically a sophisticated what of saying pre-exposure to misogynistic music. The various studies done in the article mainly focus on benevolent sexism and hostile sexism. It is very interesting their results. I am not going to say what it is because I hate ruining endings for people.
