When Tinie Tempah, an English rapper, said: “At the end of the day, I'm a human being and I just think it is what it is. Challenging stereotypes by simply being who I am,” he knew that ultimately society cannot define who he is as a person. Tempah experienced the challenges of being an English African rapper who faced discrimination from society. Society broke down his dreams of becoming a rapper by stereotyping them because of her English accent. Tempah can identify with the stereotypes of women because she knows the emotional roller coaster one goes through when they are labeled. In today's American society, femininity has been expressed through the media in various ways - in Lil Wayne's "Love Me" music video - and lately the ideal woman is portrayed as sexually submissive, weak and dependent on men, leading women to believe that this is what strong, rich and powerful men really want, the which leads women to have less self-confidence and not strive for something better. The media tends to have a very narrow definition of women, stereotyping that they exist only for the sexual pleasure of men, making them seem submissive, weak and dependent on men. men. A woman is labeled “weak” when she doesn't know her worth in the world and allows men to use her body without providing her with a committed relationship. A man thinks that the ideal image of a woman is a "submissive" one, that is, a woman who can simply walk everywhere without having to consider her feelings and desires. A “dependent” woman is a woman who relies on someone else for support. It is believed that they do not have the willpower to succeed and achieve their goals, which men thrive on. These women fall into the perfect category for men because they want women who are willing to do anything to be with the… ties that women have to offer. Society should respect women and be more informed about the reasons why women turn to abuse and see themselves as not valuable in the world. These stereotypes about women are dangerous and lead women to hurt themselves because men don't appreciate them. Women are victims of abusive relationships and live under a stereotype created for them. Women give birth to men and for a man to not respect a woman is disappointing. All men should look at the women they exploit as if they were mothers or sisters because I'm sure they wouldn't want someone they love to be labeled as weak or dependent on a man. Men should be more involved in asking women how they feel in certain situations. Rappers today should portray women positively in society so that boys can learn to appreciate women. The media has a lot of influence on how society views stereotypes.
