Pp Bingus, Pheebidee Bridgers, and Phoebe Bridgers should form their own band tbh

That you share an interest in the same contemporary artists is unique. My folks have never liked my music, though I loved the music of their generation: the '60s.

I’m the discussion about gender and sexuality and these wonderful boys existence, I was thinking of the line in “we’re in love” where Lucy talks about being “the boy with the pink carnation”, not only is it just beautiful and melancholic Imagery but I just love the gender play that they all have in their lives, it’s things trans and queer people think about all the time (what would I be like in another life/if this one was different”. Idk I’m rambling but it’s beautiful and intrinsic to this band

Agree agree agree, for me I'm either listening to British post punk bands, many of whom have female frontwomen or split, such as BCNR, Black Honey, Sports Team etc., or it's indie folk like Big Thief, or pop and indie pop, such as Caroline Polachek and boygenuis. They just are a bit better atm

True 😊

@@JSON_888 1- hip hop is just one world and female artists are doing everything not just hip hop like male pop artists .. female artists are experimenting with all the genres Etc (they are doing an evolution in music) 2- many female artists are doing hip hop too someone more and someone less : Doja cat, Lizzo, ice spice Etc many But there are also many R&B pop artists And there are also female artists who are experimenting with elements of hip hip with jazz, soul Etc like Billie Eilish, or SZA etc Male pop artists on overage are all bad rappers nowadays they have been doing the same things for many years

This is so true

I have a theory that men aren't always as in touch with their emotions as women are, which makes their music sometimes resonate less with people.

LOL

Gender and race were originally implemented and defined socio-culturally. Race as a concept was designed very recently in human history for political reasons and their use in scientific research has been criticized increasingly in updated scientific journals; however, due to the very real ramifications of culture's influence on socio-economic and health outcomes, they then have real ramifications and some* research can be done utilizing those terms but they alone actually do not bring forth much unifying distinctions as we often envision them.

I rate how respectful you're being, but its not so much a matter of opinion as it is an established academic consensus. Gender and racial identities simply are influenced by society. See fashion: its not considered 'manly' to wear lace and frills today, but in the 17th century, it was a way a man could express his wealth and masculinity. You can also see the fluctuating attitudes towards who counted as a minority - 200 years ago in America, the Irish and Italians were seen as non-white. This was an identity constructed by their society because of their immigrant status and comparative poverty - not a reflection of the colour of their skin. I think the wording Professor Skye used was perhaps a little off, because its not necessarily a lack of intelligence, but a lack of research, that leads people to believe that gender and race are fixed. However, as a historian, I can tell you that even the most conservative historians in the field (at least in the UK) will happily engage with the concept that gender & race is a mutable social construct. Ultimately, Professor Skye is simply correct . Its not like, say, economics, where there is scope for political debate in the academic sphere. It has been almost universally accepted by academics that gender and race and sexuality are social constructs. It can be frustrating to see ignorant conservative political commentators pretend that its not the case. I'm not sure why he's expecting everyone in the world to know that though.

@@ljhb48 Yes! I tried to write a similar comment but failed to articulate my thoughts. I’d add that maybe ‘lack of education’ would have been more appropriate than ‘unintelligent’ on Skye’s part.

You can't disagree about gender and race being social constructs lmao you can only be either accidentally wrong about it, or wilfully ignorant. As far as gender goes, it's separate to biological sex and refers to characteristics that we assign, socially, to what's currently in our society a gender binary. Of course it's a social construct, it's changed over time across societies and even currently is different in different parts of the world. As far as race goes, unfortunately wrong again. There is NO scientific basis for race. Genetic markers are more varied within groups than they are between groups. The problem with what you're saying is that your opinion on this just isn't valid. It's like having the opinion that when it rains, that's actually unicorn tears. Like... Cool, I guess, but nobody should respect that opinion because it's objectively wrong.
