If so, I have a number of recommendations. Among them: "Shake That" by Eminem and Nate Dogg. How can you not like a song with lyrics like "I'm lookin for a girl that will do whatever the fuck I say, everyday she be givin it up," "I want a bitch that sit at the crib with no panties on, knows that she can't but she won't say no" and also references fellatio and date rape? (Complete Lyrics: http://www.elyricsworld.com/go/e/Eminem-lyrics/Shake-That-lyrics.html) As a side note, why is Eminem following up a song called "Shake That" with a song called "Smack That"? I can think of a couple reasons, and none of them are "creativity." Can I look forward to a continuation of this dissecting-Patriarchal-pop-songs? If so, I have a number of recommendations.

According to surveys, young women are now as likely as young men to have sex and by countless reports are also as likely to initiate sex, taking away from males the age-old, erotic power of the chase. "I know lots of girls for whom nothing is off limits," says Helen Czapary, a junior at the University of Maryland. "The pressure on the guys is a huge deal. </blockquote> Ah, the age-old, erotic power of the chase, now so sadly reduced to a mere poke into a bottle of Bud Lite. <blockquote>Adam Skrodzki, a tall, redheaded senior at the University of Maryland, bench-presses a respectable 280 pounds. He fights fires in Howard County as a volunteer and plans to join the Secret Service in the fall. In short, he's a man's man. Or so he thought until last fall, when he hooked up with a sophomore -- at her urging. The girl really wanted to make a go of it with him. On learning earlier that he had no interest in pursuing a relationship, she had offered to be his "friend with benefits," and he had agreed. In his mind, that decision was a no-brainer. But on this night, their first in bed, his body was telling him something else. She used every trick she knew, with no success. Adam panicked. </blockquote> So I guess when we can't get it up in a situation where, large, football-player-and-Secret-Service-like, we don't feel connected ("felt no interest in pursuing a relationship"), female anger is perhaps a substitute for affection in calling forth the male erection, denied as it is the age-old, erotic power of the chase. The article at http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/05/06/AR2006050601206.html is so self-revealingly stupid on so many levels.

This is the virgin post of a new blog reader who has been lurking here for a couple of months. I love IBTP - thanks, Twisty, for the mental stimulation, the laughs and the opportunity to give my head a shake every day. It is sanity restoration for this feminist after a long dry spell.

I also don't listen to misogynist pop music, American or other. Hell, I don't listen to pop music, regardless. If anyone wants to continue the Can/Am Lit/immigration discussion, we can pop over to a blog I've left empty for a while and just stuck an open thread on canuckfem.blogspot.com. I'm always meaning to bother blogging, and then I just don't get around to it. I just spend all my time commenting on other people's blogs :P Sorry Twisty :(.
