In your words: “The ‘bitches,’ ‘sluts,’ and ‘whores’ are a part of the vocabulary, and nothing is going to change that anytime soon. Anyway who cares??”
Well, I care, Christian. Misogyny IS a big deal. I find it ridiculous that as a male you’re so quick to defend Technique’s sexism when you don’t even come close to relating to the population of people he’s degrading. As a male it’s so easy for you to denounce Stacie’s well-articulated argument or misogyny in general because it doesn’t affect you. I think the argument that words such as “bitch” and “slut” are a part of a “vocabulary” is pure bullshit. Being the revolutionary independent artist he so valiantly depicts himself to be, Technique can and should exercise more discretion regarding the “messages” he chooses to relate to his audience. Where are his messages regarding the rampant sexism that plague men of color communities? For someone that supposedly “understands” the issues he doesn’t seem to recognize the relationship between his treatment of women and the prison industrial complex, racism, or immigration for that matter. Being “revolutionary” isn’t a half-ass undertaking.
