Subject: RE: Using sex to sell songs.
It all seems to have quietened off so I guess I can now summarise the conclusions I have come to - You don't need to agree of course!

The acts like the ones discussed are as bad if not worse than the men who see them as sex objects.

I can, however, safely ignore them as they in a minority and are so trite as to escape below the radar of common sense.

It is disturbing that they provide a role model for youngsters but the children emulating them will grow out of in most cases. The fad will in itself fade soon enough anyway.

They are perfectly entitled to do what they want. Those who are driven to responding in a sexual manner need to learn to distiguish life from fantasy.

Best thing is to ignore and forget it, which I now intend to do.

One thing I have not made up my mind about yet. There seems to be a suggestion that these acts are a product of traditional music. I cannot see the connection myself and don't know if the perpetrators of this view would care to elucidate but if they do I would suggest a seperate thread. There are too many issues here already.

Cheers
