While browsing YouTube I was disturbed by a specific Ciara music video. This song is called "Ride." We have come so far in gaining respect from men, and in this video Ciara is basically selling herself to the highest bidder. She is a pop culture icon, and seeing women "selling" themselves disappoints me. This song is popular in clubs, and women may not realized how degrading it is when they sing along to this song while grinding a boy on the dance floor.
"I market it so good [ talking about her body]
They can't wait to try
Me
I work it so good [once again talking about her body]
Man, these nig**s
Tryna buy me"

I actually hadn't heard this song until now, but I can see how it could be degrading to women.
