This was inspired by a satire on THE ONION about Eminem.<\/strong><\/p>\n

What would happen if Rapper Eminem’s 17-year-old daughter brought her boyfriend home to meet dad? Would dad, Marshall Mathers, AKA Eminem, have a wake-up call?<\/p>\n

Let’s say the boyfriend was raised on heavy doses of Eminem’s music along with Snoop Dogg, Dr. Dre and Ludacris, all famous for their lyrics about violence and devaluing of women. Their lyrics, if printed, would make you nauseous. And let’s say the boyfriend’s favorite Eminem song is “Superman,” a song about putting anthrax on a woman’s hygiene product and then slapping her until she can’t stand. He also likes the song, “Kill You,” a brutal story of killing a woman and hiding her in a closet.<\/p>\n

What would Eminem think about his daughter dating a man raised on his music? Would he have serious doubts about his character and wonder how the music influenced his world view? Of course, Eminem wrote the lyrics, but when someone dates your daughter who loves this music, well…Yes, lyrics about having sex with prostitutes and then painting the room red with blood are quite disturbing. Do you think this impacts the boyfriend’s views about women?<\/p>\n

What happens when any boy grows up listening to lyrics about beating women and treating them like dirt?<\/p>\n

They go out in the world and date somebody’s daughter.<\/p>\n

The problem is artists like Eminem have \u00a0sold over 80 million copies of his albums world wide, making him one of the bestselling artists in the world. HIs disrespect for women have taken root in the hearts of many. Now, those boys to men will date women with violent and objectifying lyrics in their heads.<\/p>\n

Too many daughters \u00a0will be victims of violence and misogyny. Unfortunately, the damage is done even if a violent hip hopper were to have second thoughts.<\/p>\n

Entertaining lyrics shape the thoughts of many and have real consequences.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
