Women in rap and hip hop videos


In rap and hip hop videos women are portrayed as items and objects owned by men and are considered eye candy this is ,in my opinion,bad because it gives men a bad idea on how to treat women which is unfair on the women. Also the youth of today are so easily influenced by the media these days that if boys of my age start watching these videos and start treating girls as eye candy it won't be fair on the girls because it will show that men own women. But like I said the youth of today are influenced easily so if a young teenage girl watched a 50 cent video and 50 is talking about his girls being his and how the girls are fine with it and acting normal about it that girl who is watching it is she gets into a relationship with the guy who thinks this is the right thing to do she will be fine with it because she has watched a music video with a famous rapper, a role model, doing this she will accept it and live the rest of her life as someone's trophy girl, this is not how I would want to live and I don't think you would like to live like that either.

The worst thing about this is that it is not just popping up in music videos! Girls not wearing very much with very nice features are appearing everywhere for example look at the Disney channel, good looking girls in hot pants and vest tops, we didn't have this a few years ago but now it is the norm. Women are pictured like this everywhere movies,tv programs,adverts and obviously music videos, but on the TV and in the movies there are many different types of women presented along side the trophy girls such as strong business women, teachers and authors which, again in my opinion, is what we should try and make the children of today become rather then trophy girls.

That is why I don't agree with the first and third statement but the second statement us something i don't agree with because it shows that men have no other views on women that that which is wrong because women are alot more than that.
