Earlier this month, a feminist in Britain&#8217;s GQ magazine <a href="https://www.gq-magazine.co.uk/article/hip-hop-feminism">asked</a> whether it is possible to &#8220;be a feminist&#8221; and still &#8220;listen to hip-hop.&#8221; She&#8217;s right to be skeptical &#8212; some (<a href="https://madamenoire.com/278863/responsible-rappers-with-mostly-clean-lyrics/">though certainly not all</a>) rap songs are cesspits of sexism and vulgarity that glorify <a href="https://www.nme.com/news/music/eminem-criticised-for-rape-rap-lyrics-in-new-anti-trump-verse-1969259">rape</a> and <a href="https://genius.com/Dmx-x-is-coming-lyrics">sexual assault</a>. For a social movement that has become increasingly <a href="https://everydayfeminism.com/2014/05/grammar-snobbery/">creative</a> in the sources of oppression it uses to justify its existence, feminism devotes relatively little time to berating the mainstream artists whose songs include such poetic lyrics as &#8220;<a href="https://genius.com/Kool-g-rap-hey-mister-mister-lyrics">I beat my b**** up in the street</a>&#8221; or &#8220;<a href="https://dailycaller.com/2017/10/11/heres-19-times-eminem-talked-about-beating-and-raping-women/">I even make the b*****s I rape c**</a>.&#8221;
Rap artists, and some of the more profane elements of broader hip-hop culture, have been partially excused from the Victorian standards of feminism&#8217;s third wave. It&#8217;s not that feminists haven&#8217;t decried the sexism in hip-hop &#8212; <a href="http://archive.massappeal.com/misogyny-in-hip-hop/">they have</a>, if only in passing &#8212; but the plain, unadulterated misogyny in some rap music seems to evade the broader radar of a movement that has spent the better part of a decade <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/arts-and-entertainment/wp/2015/12/20/the-creepiest-classic-of-all-what-should-we-do-about-baby-its-cold-outside/?tid=sm_tw">screaming</a> about a handful of lines in an obscure, <a href="https://www.vox.com/identities/2016/12/19/13885552/baby-its-cold-outside-feminist-date-rape-romantic">chivalrous Christmas song from 1949</a>.
