I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings
For within living structures defined by profit, by linear power, by institutional dehumanization, our feelings were not meant to survive. Kept around as unavoidable adjuncts or pleasant pastimes, our feelings were expected to kneel to thought as women were expected to kneel to men. But women have survived. As poets.” - Sister Outsider by Audre Lorde
“Racism didn't magically go away just because we refuse to talk about it. Rather, overt racial language is replaced by covert racial euphemisms that reference the same phenomena-talk of "niggers" and "ghettos" becomes replaced by phrases such as "urban," "welfare mothers," and "street crime." Everyone knows what these terms mean, and if they don't, they quickly figure it out.”
― Patricia Hill Collins, On Intellectual Activism
“Thus, gender ideology no only creates ides about femininity but it also shapes conceptions of masculinity.”
― Patricia Hill Collins, Black Sexual Politics: African Americans, Gender, and the New Racism
“If any female feels she need anything beyond herself to legitimate and validate her existence, she is already giving away her power to be self-defining, her agency.” - Feminism Is for Everybody by bell hooks
“Under the color-blind ideology of the new racism, Blackness must be SEEN as evidence for the alleged color blindness that seemingly characterizes contemporary economic opportunity.”
― Patricia Hill Collins, Black Sexual Politics: African Americans, Gender, and the New Racism
“Challenging power structures from the inside, working the cracks within the system, however, requires learning to speak multiple languages of power convincingly.”
― Patricia Hill Collins, On Intellectual Activism
All Beyonce and JLo have done is add to the laundry list of attributes women must have to qualify as beautiful. Now every girl is expected to have Caucasian blue eyes, full Spanish lips, a classic button nose, hairless Asian skin with a California tan, a Jamaican dance hall ass, long Swedish legs, small Japanese feet, the abs of a lesbian gym owner, the hips of a nine-year-old boy, the arms of Michelle Obama, and doll tits. The person closest to actually achieving this look is Kim Kardashian, who, as we know, was made by Russian scientists to sabotage our athletes.”
- Bossypants by Tina Fey
"I will have my voice: Indian, Spanish, white. I will have my serpent's tongue — my woman's voice, my sexual voice, my poet's voice. I will overcome the tradition of silence.” - Borderlands/La Frontera by Gloria E. Anzaldua
“Every human body has its optimum weight and contour, which only health and efficiency can establish. Whenever we treat women's bodies as aesthetic objects without function we deform them.” -The Female Eunuch by Germaine Greer#

female artists who assume that they have full control of their sexuality and are supposedly empowered are still being manipulated by men.
two types of feminism, liberal and radical. In case you didn’t know, the former group supports the equal rights of men and women within the current social structures whereas the latter stresses the importance of the complete eradication of patriarchies to ending male supremacy.
Whether such are truly empowered and in control of their own sexualities in the patriarchal constructs of Western society is debatable but one thing is certain: As women continue to battle for their own identities in this visual era of music, there is still a grey area to be examined as we decide if they are still just puppets dancing for their male masters.

"Feminism is back on the rise, and it's all thanks to the internet"
Everyday sexism has "90,000 followers on Twitter"
"Feminist societies have popped up at university everywhere including Durham, Liverpool and Kings College London"
Our generation needs to reclaim feminism

There are a lot of women that have started out in the music industry with the strong belief that they would not "sell out".
There have been many strong women who have proved that powerful women can in fact make it in the music industry without compromising their standards. There are also women that understand that to get the attention they deserve they can use a sexy video to gain viewers and then get their message across.
women face in modern society can be applied to the music industry when considering that it seems to be that sexist music makes the industry large amounts of money. Therefore, male artists are making money off of the exploitation of women (Rogers)
"In the rap world, women represent success, and they are treated almost as accessories: a means for rappers to prove that they have made it to the top...the purpose of this facade is to simply make money, but rappers do not realize the extent to which their music is affecting the younger generations. When children watch television and see someone throw money in the air, with lots of cars and women, that image is stored in their minds as the definition of success. They begin to nurture the idea that in order to achieve success, you have to have beautiful women by your side. With the number of images reaching today's youth we must put an end to this type of portrayal.
