What is it that a young man finds attractive in a young woman? Is it her eyes? Is it her breast, legs, or her butt? Do men find an intelligent brain sexy, or is it a winning personality that gets them hooked? Why do young women try to make themselves look sexy to attract young men? It has been a growing practice among young women to alter their body parts to become more appealing to the opposite sex. Why are some women dissatisfied with their physical appearance? Is it because of the way males in today's society has portrayed the way a woman should be? Male rappers and R&B singers have exploited females through their lyrics and showing them half-dressed in their videos.
Many songs by male artist have a tendency to degrade women through their lyrics. In some songs, women are referred to as bitches and hoes, and are expected to be sexual concubines, which in many ways is not a compliment. In the song," back That Ass Up", the rapper Juvenile has a line that says, "Hoe who is u playing with back that ass up" (Back That Ass Up). This statement not only shows disrespect for the young woman, it clearly indicates that he is only interested in the woman for her backside and her ability to shake it simulating sex. Is this what it takes to make him want to have sex with her? Are these the measure women have to go through to get a man's attention for the moment? This song is an excellent example of women being portrayed as sex objects.
TThroughout the video the camera focuses only on the rear ends of every single woman in the video. All the women in the video are half dress or they have some skin-tight outfit on. While these women are on stage shake, shake, shaking it, the men are hitting them on their butts, and pouring water on them. Men are even pulling up their skirts. The men are making these women look as if they do not have any respect for themselves. .
Another song that emphasizes the structure of a woman body is the Thong Song, by Sisqo.
