Radio Sexism


Rabger

Recommended Posts

I really hate this radio station I used to listen to. :x Loved the music, but it was the station itself I couldnt stand. For one, everything was about sex. And two, all the sex stuff was directed toward hetero-sexual males.

- They have this thing called "The Vibrator" which is a competition between two songs, which have "positions" one and two. Every time the use the word "Vibrator" they have this buzzing sound with a woman screaming and moaning.

- They have this other thing they call "Virgin Meat," which is when they play a song or band never before heard. The commercial for this goes something like this: Announcer "Would you like some virgin meat?" Men "Yes please!" (Announcer gives times) and then says something like "Where you can smack it (a smack sound with a woman moaning) and smack it hard (smack/woman) over (smack/woman) and over (smack/woman) again."

- In the afternoons, when the only female dj is on, they have a special time set aside for "stretches." Now, of course, over the radio you can't see the stretches, so the dj describes them and then apparently does it, moaning loudly and saying stuff like "Yes! Oooh, feels so good! Mmmm..." a bunch of times. One time there was a male dj, so instead of doing it himself, he got a female caller to do it instead.

- Commericals and prizes for contests usually talk about how hot, sexy women are at these locations and you can surround yourself with them. Never men, always hot, sexy women. And its always on. Its like they can't mention a club/bar without stressing the fact that women are there to hook up with.

It makes me sick! I couldn't stand it any more, I had to find a different station. It just bugs me that they ooze this "sex everything" attitude and help make women into nothing but sexual objects for the pleasure of men. And I had to find another station just so it wouldn't make me pissed off or ill any more. :evil:

Clear Channel fired Howard Stern for stuff like this.

I'm surprised that this program has been so durable in the era of FCC nepotism.

I admire lesbians who refuse to identify with straight males.

Their presence in the world has reassured me that sometimes, when someone says "I love you" to a woman, they're not just exploiting her.

Draw the line and thickly- because the history of straight relationships is bloody. Objectification of women is what has allowed it to be so.

Rectitude is necessary, and God knows what form it may take.

That sucks Xen. You should totally report them! If the FCC gets pissed, they get major fines. Tape a bit with the moanings or whatever.

There's a radio station here that I absolutely avoid during the morning show because it's two guys that talk about nothing but sex, and all the callers do too. I swear, either there are a lot of really dumb, slutty people around here, or they pay them.

Sex sells, of course.

What can ya do? Most people who listen to the radio are... you guessed it, heterosexual males, most of whom have mastered the art of masturbating while driving. And you thought CELL PHONES were distracting (rim shot)

Why are you listening to that station?

You know what I hate? Lesbians that act exactly like hetero males. :evil: And I'm not talking how they dress or butch/femme stuff. I'm talking about how they act toward women. My gf's roommate and her gf came over to the apartment last night, and they are both crude as hell and always make comments like "nice tits" and "I could fuck her." Shit like that. I hate it! :x I went to being in a good mood to being pissed off within about 5 minutes because I hate that shit! I really can not stand it. I was so ticked off I had to leave. I drove 45 mins in one direction, had no idea where I was, and then turned around and drove back. Turns out I was 1/2 hour from Vermont.

You know, I might just do that. I'm all for free speech and everything else, but I also think exploiting women is wrong and, you know what, some of us just don't want to hear digusting stuff! I mean shit, its a radio station! I want to hear MUSIC, not moaning!

That is totally digusting. :x One of my friends told me about something he and his gf did while he was driving... One, I did NOT need to know about that. And two, safety hazard? I mean if they couldn't chill out they should have at least pulled over. Stupid sexuals.

And I was listening to it because I like the music. I don't listen to it any more because I can't take their pervertion any longer.

I agree. I have a bisexual friend who is constantly saying things like "I'd buy that product if I got laid by the 3 ad chicks," "I'd like to fuck her," etc. Just makes you wanna punch them, eh? :twisted:

Yes! I'm like, if I wanted to be around pervs, I'd go find some straight men! I mean I have straight male friends, and sometimes they kid around with stuff like that, but really, they are different from a lot of guys and have a lot of respect for women. But when anyone makes comments like that I want to smack them silly. Grow up! Women are more than sex objects!

Hahaha! :lol: Actually, the straight men I know are actually better than these girls, because when you point out that they're being annoyingly perverted, they get embarrassed and apologize. (I know this isn't the case for all of 'em, but at least the ones I know.) On the other hand, if you point it out to these girls, they start babbling about how they're "sexually liberated." Ugh. :evil: Wake up, being a slut is not what makes you a devoted feminist!

THANK YOU!!

What pisses me off is when straight men think that because I'm gay I must look at women the way they do. Uh...NO. I actually respect women.

I was hoping the conversation would veer in this direction for just a bit.

Constructing the love of women as equivalent to men's objectification of them is constructing the contempt of women.

I really do believe that lesbians who objectify women wish only to exploit them.

My rage at this dynamic, whether straight or gay, is boundless.

The asexual challenges society's expectations more than the slut ever dreamed of doing.

I hate how society reinforces heteromale horndog behavior, like if its default genetic behavior ,"hey can't help it we're men" or stupid crap like that. Of course you can help it. It happens with everyone too. I read an article in a magazine about some new trend of self-indentified 'bois', lesbian women who like to dress up and act exactly like young boys. The way they regarded each other sexually was just incredibly repulsive. Many gay men tend to treat each other the way horny straight males treat women. Perversion has become so damn trendy its a wonder how its difficult not to be turned off be sexuals. Hello, you may have hormones bt you also have something called a brain.

People never grow up, infact we get less mature with the development of hormones. More knowledge-less maturity.

Howard Stern needs to choke.

I didn't feel like starting a new thread for this (since I just made one yesterday) and this seemed relevant...

Today in biology this girl walked in wearing one of those schoolgirl-type uniforms with a skirt that was only about four inches long and... you know the kind.

She got all kinds of wolf whistles from the guys, except me.

She got mad at me because I didn't even look at her after I saw her. I don't want to throw up.

Why do girls do that?!?!?!

To be blunt, because they're insecure 'hos. :P

Because society tells girls their worth lies in whether or not men find them physically attractive.

Oh, so *here's* the radio sexism post.

Xen, that sounds absolutely terrible! Even reading about it makes me shudder, god, I can't imagine a station having such blatant descriptions of sexuality...usually they try to.... conceal it and make it much less obvious.... I'd change the station also....or if the music was *really* good, I guess, just be forced to turn it down whenever anything other than music was on. You might want to email the station manager/program director , sometimes they are surprisingly receptive to concerns like this, but then again if they're already that extreme I don't know if they would be. But for example, I find that since I started emailing the program director at a local country station here about how they never play any new songs...well...it's amazing because in the last few months they've started to play soooo many new songs, including one that I love where they're the only one playing it... I'm not sure how much influence my lone emails actually had, but I do know it started to change at the same time and there's definitely been a change. But as I said, it's probably different when it's changing the station's whole image. Gosh, it makes me want to barf just thinking about having to listen to that crap. What I complain about is nothing compared to that (and usually I don't find all that much to complain about in that area regarding the radio anyway).

What kind of music was it? Are there any other stations in the area playing that kind of music? Ick, that's so taking it WAAY too far!

I'm gonna remember this the next time I'm complaining about how obnoxious the afternoon DJs on my local oldies station are (they have a propensity for insulting people).

Topic A:

I for one gave up on anything publicly offered in the broadcasting department, whether it be radio or TV. They need to reach the greatest audience because their ad buyers require it. so thye cater to the lowest denominator. And while everyone I know admits they hate it, they watch/listen to it because that's all thats on. It's time to start taking in alternate media forms. Replace your radio station with piped internet feed when available. Make CDs to play in cars. Anything you get for free is either crap or stolen, so make sure its stolen.

Topic B:

Objectification of Women. My friends tell me I see capitalist propoganda everywhere. I admit it because I hate capitalism So Much, and I feel it must be an unnatural state of civilization. I interpret the least thing as a slight against my socialist slant. That doesn't meant that there is no capitalist propaganda, just that I see more than there really is.

To a large degree our society is still sexually repressed. We've escaped this "Sex is Evil" attitude, but in the back of our society it still haunts us. So some sexuals go overboard with their sex drives, and beat you over the head with them. They are just trying to come to grips with their own feeling that sex is wrong by shouting so loud they can't hear their little voice. Society has stuck them with the dualism "Sex is Required/Evil," and it stresses them. I know from experience that in the right company occasionally it can be gratifying to be an ass for a while. It lets off some steam. Maybe if these people understood their own sexuality more and could get over the societal impetus, they wouldn't be dicks about it.

Of course, there is strong argument that being a dick is genetically predetermined.

Yeah, it's pretty bad. It was the first station I found in the area that played the kind of music I liked, when I moved. As for the type... I'm not really up-to-date on music, I generally only listen to it in the truck or at work, so this may seem kinda odd, but I'm not sure. Rock, Alternative? Something like that.

I think I'm going to bitch out the station in emails or something, but yeah, considering how out there it is, I very much doubt it will do any good. There is another station in the area that plays about the same type of music and I just started listening to that one, so hopefully its a little 'cleaner.'
