Hello Blog,
I just wanted to say that I miss the UP and MQT.

I have also been contemplating the lyrics of this Ke$ha song "Blah Blah Blah." It objectifies men as sex toys. As everyone knows the music industry is full of sexual undertones.The objectification of human beings is nothing new. This song objectifies men and there are hundreds of others that objectify women. My question is what progress, if any is being made to stop this disrespect of the body. Should I stop listening to Ke$ha because she does what other artists have been doing for years? Do I stop buying music that objectifies anyone...is that even possible. I love music. I love to dance. What do I refuse? The song is not about assault.It is about a girl who wants to have sex with a man who is clearly trying to talk her up. Is this mutual disrespect. I'm just saying that if I continue to allow people to treat me like an object than what is stopping them from using me like an object. I do not ask a chair before I sit  in it. A person is a person and we shouldn't loose sight of that.
