wth lyrics?
It's is a very bad idea to listen to lyrics.

Dear Mary J Blige

What does a man buying a woman material things have to do with her falling in love with him and him treating her like a woman? Since when were love, identity, and sexuality for sale? Since when could they be bought with shoes and a bag?

Also wth is up "Now I only want to do what you tell me to." Like? What the hell? Who owns your sexuality here? Or is this more about a woman's place? Huh?

**feels ridiculous for having the music for going on 2 years now and only just having the lyrics pop out**

Ok. I'm gong to bed. I must have my head screwed on wrong. Cause I'm all "Shake down, I'm robbing you for your love, don't put up a fight." Just keeps making me go WHAT THE BLEEPING F*CK??.

So clearly it is not that the world is filled with messed up messages about human interaction and just that my brain's wired weird and somehow sleep will fix that. Or maybe just closing my eyes and being horizontal.

It's magic.

On the radio the other day I heard a discussion about sex education in schools. This "conservative" woman was talking about how parents should have the right to have their children not attend sex ed classes in schools until they're fifteen because children these days are bombarded with really horrible messages about sex and sexuality in the media, etc.

It made my brain short-circuit, because: Yes, our culture is currently hidoeusly over-sexualised with really bad messages about sexuality.

HOW IS THIS A REASON TO AVOID ACTUAL, PROPER EDUCATION ON THESE ISSUES? That's why its' so VITALLY NECESSARY.

	I started to listen to lyrics a few years ago, on and off, and OH MY FREAKING PETUNIAS! What is WRONG with these people?! I'm starting to appreciate songs that have incomprehensible lyrics, I really am. (Reply to this)
