Is romance dead? You would think so from seeing the prolific over-sexualization of women in music videos and gratuitous sex scenes on television and film. Rihanna, Lady Gaga, Madonna, Beyoncé and Jennifer Lopez are only a few artists out of many that come to mind when I think of songstresses whose fashion motto is “barely ...

But when you actually take a listen to the lyrics of most songs today, it becomes rather clear how they became hits. Going through countless ...

Sportswomen have never been paid, respected or supported enough. And it doesn’t appear to be getting any better. Joining the grossly popular Lingerie Football League comes the Lingerie Basketball League, in which (yep, you guessed it) sportswomen compete in their underwear. When it comes to prostitutes, strippers, or any other women who use their sexuality as ...

From rap to pop to country, the music industry is guilty of playing the double standard game. Sex appeal is still overshadowing the most talented female musicians. We’ve seen it all before. Rap stars are thugs, pimps and bros. Women are sluts, skanks and hoes. This seems like an old conversation, one that has been ...
