Men who "learn" not to degrade women

I found this quote from an anon commenter on the last post and I thought it was relevant.


What do you guys think of Jay-Z's recent announcement?

Jay-Z has vowed to never use derogatory terms for women in his music again following the birth of his daughter, Blue Ivy Carter.

The rapper, who welcomed his first child with wife Beyoncé last weekend, has stated in a poem to celebrate the birth of baby Blue Ivy that he will drop the use of 'b*tch' - revealing that his degradation of women in his songs "has passed."



"Before I got in the game, made a change, and got rich/ I didn't think hard about using the word b*tch/ I rapped, I flipped it, I sold it, I lived it/ Now with my daughter in this world I curse those that give it. I never realized while on the fast track that I’d give riddance to the word bitch, to leave her innocence in tact."

The hip-hop icon continued:

"No man will degrade her, or call her name. I'm so focused on your future, the degradation has passed. I wish you wealth, health and insight. Forever young you may pass. Blue Ivy Carter, my angel."


I personally think of this as a start, but only that. He still has a lot of work to do. We see this with men a lot. They have a daughter and all of a sudden they don't like to see women degraded. There are two problems I see with this immediately.

One: Didn't his wife count as a woman who shouldn't be degraded? Or wasn't she "innocent" enough? He seemed to think it was all right for "non-innocent" women to be degraded.

And OK fine, it is good that he can see it from a different perspective now that he has a daughter and maybe he will extend this feeling to all women. I hope so. I hope he can continue to learn.

But the second problem is that it is still about HIM. It took him personally experiencing the feeling of "this is too close to me now and I don't want it to happen" in order for him to change.

Or as another anonymous commenter said on this blog,

I don't understand, Why does something dramatic have to happen in someone's life before they decide "Oh, yeah I gotta stop being this way because I don't want some one to mess with mine in the future."


Men should respect women not because the disrespect upsets men, but because it oppresses women. At least that is what I believe in cases like that.

However I still want to say that it is a good start and in my own opinion, if he continues to learn more about oppression and misogyny, then maybe he will come to realize this. I have hope.

We didn't hear a word like this from Gerard Way, Lindsey Way, or Frank Iero when they had daughters. Not one of them came forward and said "I never thought about how women were treated until I had a daughter, now I think I'll stop degrading them." So also in my opinion, Jay-Z is way ahead of them. MSI and MCR are still in the dark ages.

Also, I wish all of you a happy and healthy new year and the best of luck in 2012.

At the moment I cannot differentiate between those who hold political power and those who hold financial/ corporate power.

At this point in time, a Neuromancer type future where multinational corporations interests supersede the government and the judiciary is not that unbelievable. It's also profoundly scary.

It's weird, so much of what Gibson wrote about (warned about, in some ways,) is coming true. Neuromancer,"cyberspace" (his term) and Idoru, too, which you now have in the Vocaloids (and before them, Gorillaz.)

Part of the reason I loved Pattern Recognition so much was because I was in an extremely similar situation!

That's right Kapunua! What makes Gibson so fascinating as an author is his ability to see a pattern or trend well before it's actually cemented or apparent.

Perhaps some of those rock star idolizers should read Idoru. Might make them question what is real and what is fantasy.

Anonymous said...

"But the things that bother Rez are not the things that bother most people. Is something different here, in the very nature of reality? Or is it that something violently new is about to happen? It's possible the idoru is as real as she wants or needs to be--or as real as Rez desires."

If you ask me they're a bit of a whinger.

Anonymous said...

I don't like Mayo either. He deliberately set about to fool people, most of whom were extremely worried about Gerard at the time. Later, when it became obvious that the blog was turning into a very unhealthy place, and that many of the women who visited there were developing potentially harmful obsessions with it (and him), he should have set the record straight. At the very least he should have tried to stop some of the vitriol and downright cruelty that went on there.

But no, he couldn't give up the adulation. I think Mayo is a narcissistic creep.

I hate the term "lovelies". I think it's demeaning and smacks of condescension.

Anonymous said...

It may sound demeaning, condescending and all kinds of negative, but he never said it like that to any of them. And not to sound like a nutter, but if you weren't there it's not right of you to imply you know better than people who were. Even Kapunua speaks more politely of Mayo. Given how her opinion is generally taken around here, I would think her regard for Mayo would mean something. Mayo wasn't perfect. He wasn't even nice sometimes. But whomever that blogger was, he did behave like he cared about people for the most part. And people cared about him. No matter what happened between others, or what Mayo did or didn't do to help that along, rock star or plumber, there seemed to be genuine care between Mayo and his "Lovelies". It wasn't always ugly. That came later.

Mayo's wasn't always Creep Central; it used to be fun, like a game. I said quite a few times that I wouldn't have talked to Mayo if I thought it was Gerard, because I didn't want to be talking to him. But I did (and do) think it was someone involved. Not that it mattered.

Mayo was nice to me when other people were being cruel, and that always counts for something to me. I'm easy. It's why I gave Frank Iero so many chances: because he was personally nice to me both times when I met him. That goes a loooong way with me and can blind me to other flaws. Like JGL. He was so much sweeter to me than he had to be, he went out of his way to spare me a few minutes, to act friendly, and he remembered my name from Hitrecord and some of the work I did for him. If he started saying racist / misogynistic things, I'd feel extra disappointed. That's just how it is.

And that's part of why I thought Mayo was okay - because he was nice to me when I was having a rough time, and when a lot of the crazies there were being cruel and outright sociopathic towards me.

That said, it is LONG past over. I had always hoped that Mayo's would last maybe a year or two, and then he'd say, "Okay, here's who I am, nice knowing you." I really thought there would be an endgame, you know? Like in Clue.

But now I think he's just never going to give it up, and I really have to wonder why.

(Although, all the comments are filled there, so maybe it is over. Still, a "anyway, this is who I am" post would have been nice.)

Kapunua, I know Mayo was kind to you when your dog died and that he often spoke to you and sometimes changed his profile in reference to things you said. Later on, though, when the other posters (I won't call them "lovelies" because their behavior was anything but) got really nasty with you (and others), he did absolutely nothing to try and put a stop to it. I felt that he was attempting to be "above it all" in order to seem more Gerard-like. I also felt he should have stepped in and said, "Hey, you guys are acting like assholes."

What do you think?

Mayo was also smart enough to see through the embellishments and lies. He was mature enough not to be manipulated by them. He recognized the biggest bully in the schoolyard. No matter how many times that bully went crying to teacher about all the other kids being mean to her. He saw that the other kids where only pushing back after being pushed one too many times by the know it all bully.

It was then that he washed his hands of the bully and let her go cry to other teachers who weren't paying attention to what was happening on the playground. Mayo still has his job. The others were fired. The bully expelled.

Nowadays the Internet is a wide-open source for information, entertainment, and communication. Many people believe that anything and everything go in cyberspace. I believed that myself, until becoming more informed. Sometimes, in a quest for knowledge and entertainment Internet users cross over a hidden line. Without proper knowledge, users unintentionally break the copyright laws that govern the Internet. Many myths have caused people to believe copyright laws do not apply to the Internet. However, copyright laws are in effect in today's cyberspace.
One of the biggest mistakes that people believe is that if a work has no copyright notice, it is not copyrighted. The correct form of a copyright notice is "Copyright or © (date) by (author/owner)" (Templeton 1). Many people believe that if this notice is absent, they can post, use, or take any work on the Internet. Although no name can be copyrighted, the owner's work is (Templeton 2). In fact, everything from April 1, 1989 is copyrighted by the owner or author whether is has a notice or not. Most nations follow the same rules set up by the Berne copyright convention (Templeton 1). The Berne convention created uniform laws for worldwide works (Lussier 1). One of these laws was everything created privately and originally after April 1, 1989 is copyrighted. All Internet users must assume that the work is copyrighted, unless otherwise specified by the author.

Many works on the Internet are available for public use. However, the author of the work must have explicitly granted it to public domain. If a work is in public domain, granted by saying "I grant this to the public domain," anybody who stumbles upon it can use, take, or copy without giving credit to the owner (Templeton 1). Although, frequently a user can contact the author of the work and be granted permission to use it (Templeton 4). I did that through electronic-mail and received positive results. Requesting permission is not hard. Most times the owner quickly grants a user access and respects him or her more for asking. The author granted me a background graphic that I have since put into a page I have created (http://www.pitt.edu/~skvarka/active/ski/). Often, access to works on the Internet is granted easily and can avoid costly legal matters.
So how does that apply to Internet users? Internet users cannot scan material from periodicals and post them on the Internet. Users cannot transfer graphics or works, without the knowledge of the owner, and post them somewhere else on the Internet (Templeton 1). Technically, no one can post electronic-mail, wholly. A user can refer to a statement in an electronic-mail just as in any research paper. These acts can be prosecuted in a civil court, because "copyright law is civil law" (Templeton 3). The owner can sue for damages to his or her works, if major enough. These laws can be frightening, but often, nothing can be done about violations, because they happen every day. Copyright law on the Internet is a new region for the court system, though ten copies with a value of $2,500 were made a felony in the United States. To be safe, Internet users should just ask first to insure everyone's safety.

Wendy, your bitterness towards the Porchies is disturbing.

Let it go. Move the fuck on.

Do you "get" it? ^_~

It must suck to be Lyndsey too. Having so many fans and supporters.
So many young women who look up to her & are inspired by her.


No, it must suck because all of her so called "supporters" want to boink her husband.

Remember the pics that were posted over here Of young girls that where dressed like Lindsey and most of them had a poster of Gerard on the wall in the background? I don't think most of them were inspired by her, they were mostly bat-shit crazy.

Anon616, I know you lurk. Your comments @ 7's were pathetic. The bitterness you have towards them is not healthy. Seek help woman!

Looks like the skank racist wife got some ratty fake hair extensions. Wonder who paid for those? At least she's gone back to her 'career' as a rape-promoting fake bass playing idiot instead of trying to pretend to be an artist!

It's a shame they didn't play 'Five Year Old Panty Shot'. I would love to hear Jessicka 'feminist' Addams explain that one! But they did play 'Pussy all Night', 'Bitches' and 'Faggot'. Perhaps Jessicka can explain those while trying to keep a straight face and tell us her friend is an ~inspiration to little girls!

One misogynist apologises for his bullshit. Now we need one from Gerard for the 'Cunt' and 'Smashedface' bullshit. And one from Lindsey for her gross tsunami comment and songs usng racist slurs and mocking child rape.

Rush Limbaugh's "apology" was pretty much a non-apology. He reiterated his previous point while making excuses for the language he used. "Oh, it was a joke that went too far, and I apologize for the language, but I stand by the points I was making," (paraphrased) is not acceptable to me.

I remember Gerard saying he wanted to bring Bandit to see her Mom play live. I wonder if he will, and if MSI will play 'Panty Shot' that night? Or one of their other rape-motif heavy tracks.

Idiot can't even do her trademark backbend anymore without falling over. What exactly is her 'talent'? Making fun of dead Japanese children? Using racist slurs? What is she good for?

6:17, I have been reading the latest research that correlates abusive language directed at women with a spike in domestic violence towards women. And this crosses every class: well to do, middle and working class.

I couldn't trust anyone male or female that thinks it's appropriate to address you in such terms.

I sure wouldn't trust Gerard, regardless of how he behaved towards me. A man who threatens to hit women will one day end up hitting a woman, and usually it's a woman close to him. Watch and wait. With his pissy anger issues towards women, it's just a matter of time.

Wendy was just taking shots at Kapu on Seven's blog a few weeks ago. But what else is new.

That was a very unfortunate case 12:56 but I wasn't referring to this person in particular, more to do with the link between men's attitudes towards women and the trend towards escalating domestic violence.

People constantly mention this Jessika person however I think you should familiarize yourselves with an American sociologist by the name of Jackson Katz.

This is a man who is a prominent anti-sexist activist. He goes to leading Universities, the military and sports clubs to educate men on having respectful relationships with women and promoting gender equality. You can read about his thoughts here

I believe that people like him are the ones that really make a difference.

I don't think MSI played Panty Shot at their shows.

Has she had fillers as well as hair extensions? Her face looks really puffy and strange.

LynZ's face does looks bigger. Maybe she's put on weight?

Who cares if she's put on weight. Why the hell does that matter? Maybe it means she's taking better care of herself. This would be a good thing.

So The Used is going to be on Warped Tour. This pretty rad! I really hate Warped (mainly because of weather purposes), but I will go to see The Used and Taking Back Sunday! I wanna meet Bert so bad. Last year I met Fred M. (former Taking Back Sunday) and I was so scared to talk to him, but he is seriously one of THE coolest dudes ever, someone you could hang with all day and really enjoy it :-)

Lindsey has a serious case of filler-face going on at the moment. It's a shame she can't spend as much money making her ugly racist personality better!

So hypocritical since Eliza has had everything done including a tit job.

I think there is far too much pressure now to look "perfect" and young imo.

I personally see nothing wrong with plastic surgery, so long as it's done for the right reasons and people don't go overboard with it. It's not a fountain of youth and should not be regarded as such, nor should it be done to please someone else (say, a boyfriend or spouse). Otherwise, I say go for it. Just get a good plastic surgeon.

I've had some plastic surgery myself and it drastically improved both my appearance and my self-confidence. More power to Eliza and any other woman who can afford it.
