The word ho on Kid Laori and Mikey Cyrus song

I have just heard the lyrics on radio 1 to this sing and one of the lines is:

"So there I go, oh
Can't make a wife out of a hoe, oh".

It is so so so vile. Why is this misogyny allowed? They bleeped out the worď but it doesnt make a.difference as its obvious what the word is.

Very sad

They're correct. You can't marry a garden tool

The “Mikey Cyrus” typo in the title has really amused me 😂

YABU. It’s just a word.

YABU. It’s just a word.
Erm, so you would allow someone to say cunt in front of a 4 year old would you?

Race to the bottom

Misogyny is alive and kicking in the music industry.

I tend to just mentally log these things and then not listen to the song.

I was in a bad mood anyway so when I heard it, I was particularly peeved.

It's just so objectifying and disemplowering for girls listening to the radio on the way to school "I need to remain pure so I win the affection of a man". Disgusting.

The word slut and ho should not be accepted in day to day language. I am surprised some posters are not offended.

I know its just one lyric but in the context of a Whole Heap of Shit that women have to go through it's just so sad and frustrating.

I mean, it’s not a million miles from wrong, is it?

Few people want a wife that’s slept around a lot. Similarly few people want a husband that’s slept around a lot either.

It’s not sexist. It’s common sense. Regardless of whether you’re male or female, fewer people will be attracted to you if you’ve had lots of sexual partners.

That's an old fashioned view. I wouldn't know how many sexual partners a person has had nor base my decision to be with them based on that.

Call me for the weekend by slightly left of centre.

Very catchy tune but I have to turn it off when the kids are about, it's pure filth

It’s not old fashioned. You only have to watch Love Island every year to see how turned off both the girls and guys are by high numbers of sexual partners.

its not that the lyrics are cool, but whether it would ultimately even be a good thing if all songs had to be non offensive to everybody.
