		<description>I agree that there are many conflicting messages being vocalized in the music industry.  That is one of the reasons our youth are so confused.

To the comment about women trying to act like men...  women have lived in a male dominated society for so long and have been mistreated, abused, and used.  We are fed up.  I agree that we have to find other ways to get this point across.  Maybe we could include female unity with empowerment, then we would be a force to reckon with.</description>

		<description>[...] The reason I wrote the previous post was because I&#8217;d watched one of Oprah&#8217;s shows, where a &#8216;video girl&#8217; came out to say that the girls you see in the hip-hop/rap videos are in actual fact very much disrespected.

Echo: great comment! 

Â“I think its great that women now have the choice to Â‘singÂ’ and Â‘danceÂ’ like the Pussycat Dolls, or heck even like Playboy Bunnies if that\u2019s how they are so inclined, but I think it\u2019s a sad day when thatÂ’s the only method that women are able to be valued in society.Â”

		<description>Dude, wait till you listen to JoJo's new album. I thought I was too high on coke(sic!)when I heard she sang "I love how you do me like that"

Uhm, "do me"?? I'm sorry, but is there other more innocent explanation to that term? 

JoJo is 15 btw. :D</description>

		<description>the logo of takebackthetech? 
with the girl lashing the whip and all. 
look more kinky than empowerment leh.

on a more serious note, the whip thingy even suggests something violent.

if you know why the logo is designed that way, can you pls. clarify. thanks.:)</description>

		<description>I started by typing in a comment here how much I BOO BOO-ed the whole female empowerment movement but the comment just got too long. And since I like it long and I am sure Suanie loves it long, you can read the extremely long comment &lt;a href="http://about-nude-not-naked.blogspot.com/2006/11/on-being-smart-woman_29.html" rel="nofollow"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;. 

Now everyone can love it long too =)</description>

		<description>well we've been using our sex appeal to get men to do things for us for so long that it is hardly surprising that it's now being so blatantly exploited in the entertainment industry. 

however, getting a guy to help pick up your dry cleaning just by batting your eyelashes at him or "accidentally" brushing your hand against his is still very different from believing that sex is power and respect.

the former is clever flirting. the latter is just pathetic.</description>
