Drafting Process Project 3

I decided to do my project on misogyny in music. I decided to pick a country song “God Made Girls” by RaeLynn, this song takes the approach that God made girls to sit and look pretty for boys and to teach them stereotypical tasks.  I wanted to stress the importance of these songs influencing how girls see themselves and how boys are taught to view women. We see the typical sexist songs in rap music the most, and I was honestly shocked to find a country song written by a female in 2018 that had to talk about women so negatively.  I then wanted to compare this song to “God is a Woman” by Ariana Grande. This song is full empowerment, yet when you compare the ratio of people who liked and disliked both songs, “God is a Woman” came out to a stronger ratio of dislikes. The music industry has desensitized people of treating women like objects and punishes people who stand up for feminist movements.  I think that it is important to address the growing number of misogynistic songs that the music industry is producing because it is counteractive to the amount of movements going on now such as the 
“Me Too movement.”  This drafting process was completely different than the other drafting processes. It had less writing and I had to think about what I wanted to say exactly with the presentation because of the time limit.  I wanted to show some of the parts of the music video, because the music video is just as damaging, if not worse than the lyrics of the song, so I had to find a good place to stop that. I also had to make sure that my slides weren’t as text heavy and had to connect something from pop culture to documents that didn’t have much to do with what I was speaking with, which was also difficult.
