Lately I have been interested in examining the ways in which masculinity influences pop culture, especially the music industry. Many of today’s popular songs contain lyrics that promote masculinity while degrading women. Ironically some artists even go as far as to acknowledge the demeaning quality of their lyrics. Consider the following set of lyrics from David Guetta’s song “Sexy Bitch” and the accompanying music video.

Yes i can see her

Cause every girl in here wanna be her

 

Oh she's a diva, feel the same and i wanna meet her

 

They say she low down

It's just a rumor and i don't believe em

They say she needs to slow down

The baddest thing around town

 

She's nothing like a girl you've ever seen before

Nothing you can compare to your neighborhood hoe

I'm trying to find the words to describe this girl

Without being disrespectful

 

The way that booty moving i can't take no more

I have to stop what i'm doing so i can put on my clothes

I'm trying to find the words to describe this girl

Without being disrespectful

 

Damn girl

 

a sexy bitch, a sexy bitch, a sexy bitch

damn girl

a sexy bitch, a sexy bitch, a sexy bitch

Damn girl yes i can see her

 

Cause every girl in here wanna be her

 

Oh she's a diva, feel the same and i wanna meet her

 

They say she low down

It's just a rumor and i don't believe em'

They say she needs to slow down

The baddest thing around town

 

She's nothing like a girl you've ever seen before

Nothing you can compare to your neighborhood

I'm trying to find the words to describe this girl

Without being disrespectful

 

The way that booty moving i can't take no more

I have to stop what i'm doing so i can put on my clothes

I'm trying to find the words to describe this girl

Without being disrespectful
