Twenty years after the tidal wave of misogyny faced by The (then Dixie) Chicks
Disagreeing with some mouthy birds over patriotism is now misogyny?

Six years later, Morris is getting “the hell out” of country music citing an industry that celebrates people “proud to be misogynistic and racist and homophobic and transphobic”.
Good, fuck off.
Exactly the sort of bedwetting article I would expect to read from someone with a master’s degree in “gender”.
If someone doesn’t approve of or like your lifestyle choices then go somewhere that does.
But think of the incredible benefits to mankind from his scholarship:
Project critically analyzed media narratives and representations of LGBT athletes competing in international sporting events hosted by homophobic nations.
No confirmation that his dissertation was titled: “From Russia, With Monkeypox.”
Nowhere is this more evident than on the airwaves. If you turn on a country radio station right now, chances are that you’ll hear a (white) man singing.
Journalists something something in Minecraft.
If you turn on a country radio station right now, chances are that you’ll hear a (white) man singing.
And? If you turn on a hip hop station you’ll hear a black man shouting about guns and cars and bitches and bling.
I would have thought by now there would be a trans country and western group called “The Chicks With Dix”.
Jason Aldean singing “Try that in a small town” glorifies violence, the article says so.
Everyone needs to get behind those harmless gangsta rappers (the ones who haven’t been mysteriously shot yet), it’s the white country boys who are the real problem.
How can they be sure the abuse is “misogyny”? Did they check whether the abuse came from women? And are they assuming the Dixie Chicks are women? I thought that was transphobic 🙂

Thank you!!!

Idk if you’ve noticed, but there was a Cultural Revolution and whites are now third class citizens as far as politics, media, the police and academia are concerned.
In fact, if you’re an ugly brown woman who openly hates whites, Cambridge University will make you a professor.
I, personally, am a negro now, so this doesn’t affect me, but you guys should probably get a tan or something.
Misogyny? “Nice racks” is now misogyny? I give up.
“a master’s degree in ‘gender.'” Surely that should be “a person identifying as a male slave owner’s degree”?
Author of the article? Jeffrey Ingold.
Who is Jeffrey Ingold? Jeffrey Ingold is an LGBTQ+ media and inclusion consultant.
But of course.
It should be noted that the Dixie Chicks did a Bud Light before Bud Light did.
bis,
Misogyny? “Nice racks” is now misogyny? I give up.
Only by in the eyes of those who don’t have nice racks and soy boys.
‘I, personally, am a negro now, so this doesn’t affect me, but you guys should probably get a tan or something.’
I’m a negro too of course, Steve. But since I don’t like getting sunburned, I’m a white negro.
Now you wouldn’t be so racist as to criticise me because I’m a white black, not a black black would you??
“And? If you turn on a hip hop station you’ll hear a black man shouting about guns and cars and bitches and bling.”
It turns out there is vastly more similarity between rap and country than I first thought.
If you have been persuaded that you are a ‘special’ member of a particular group (ethnic, sexual, religious or political) then *any* criticism will be perceived as a personal attack on your identity whether intended or not.
Some people are too thin skinned and others egg them on.
The Chicks were clever women. Some people hate clever women. Sexism is evil. The Chick were bullied for having a legitimate mate opinion. They were cancelled by the right wing, for being against war. I am against war, and I am against sexism. There still seems to be sexist hatred of the Chicks.
The Chicks were right about Iraq. The right and far right hate the Chicks for being right about the War in Iraq.
The right and far right like to cause and carry out wars that kill millions of innocent people.
Anthony –
Now do Ukraine.
Anthony –
Also do Vietnam, caused by those far-right extremists JFK and LBJ.
Jasper Carrott (pbuh) used to do a piece about C&W:
Billy Connolly did one as well. His first attempt went “Ma granny fell into the fountain at Lourdes, ‘cos a hunchback pushed her in.”
The first two verses go:
Yes my granny is a cripple in Nashville, friends
This story I tell you is true
One day, she went out on her wheelchair
Never knowin’ it had a loose screw
Well a wheel came off of that wheelchair, friends
And on three wheels it trundled away
And it trundled right over the edge of a cliff
In an old sea-side town, far away
Now the boy who was pushin the wheelchair
Was a little blind orphan called Joe
And he said “Oh where is my granny?”
“And where did that damn wheelchair go?”
Well he ran off to search for that wheelchair, friends
But his sightless eyes led him astray
And he ran right over the edge of the cliff
In that old sea-side town, far away… etc
