What the Experts Say I ( Misogyny)

 Since we examined what exactly is misogyny , now we can see what experts say regarding that, and if does really have impacts in society. According to some content analysis of six types of media , has been reported that music is actually have more sexual content than any other type of media( Cundiff, 2013, p,1). According to Cundiff (2013)," rap music reduces women to objects that are only good for sex and abuse"(p.1). Also, one study that was done based on a content analysis of 490 rap songs, 22%  of them  have lyrics about violence, rape and murder to women ( Cundiff, 2013,p.1), while another study out of 403 a "sexual objectification was found in 67% " ( Cundiff, 2013,p.1) .
       According to those researches, we are coming to the conclusion, that since media provide violence, as Cundiff said (2013)  "aurally and verbally  more than one in three women in the United States have been sexually coerced by a partner" (p.1). Even more at least a 90% of men reported that used violence through women (Cundiff, 2013,p.1). By that we can understand that music does really affect the way that men act toward women , while they are manipulated, humilated hurt or threatened them , ( victims of different types of violence).  According to Cobb (2016)  “boys start to list to this type of music and feel a sense of entitlement from it , and that its their right to have many sexual relationships with women without thinking about their feelings or values”. Their behaviour is literally changing,
