SEXUAL ABUSE
Salt Lake Tribune June 9, 1991 page B2 quoting Policeman Ron Stallworth who tracks Utah’s black gangs: “Women become sexual objects, bitches or whores (“Ho” to use the black street vernacular), to be used and abused and then discarded like garbage.” said Sgt. Stallworth. “Women are stereotyped as nags, money-grabbing teasers, sluts and otherwise inconsequential to the male except for sexual gratification.” Luther Campbell, leader of the rap group 2 Live Crew, said he does not believe sexist language does harm. Some years ago, I heard a song on the public airways with a refrain that continued to say Rape Me. The song explained that though women may appear not to like it, to scream to run, they really do like it, and deep down, they want it. I pondered that message, and wondered if any woman would agree with that statement. Some irresponsible producer, is enforcing that message onto the public, and someone out there will believe it, someone with the misguided compulsion to act it out. Some titles worth considering: “Have Sex with a Corpse” Alice Cooper in Cod Ethel and I Love the Dead Nirvana: Incesticide: Anurysm; Big Long Now
