Not allow song lyrics that are vulgar and degrade women.

Created by D.S. on February 15, 2013

It is wrong degrade women in songs by using vulgar language because it influences the people listening to music in negative ways. Music glorifies violence towards women. Music depicting violence to women causes and feeds the cycle of violence. The Scottish Home Affairs correspondent, Lucy Adams, reported the levels of domestic abuse committed by 16-18 year olds grew by around 70% in 2005. One of the reasons suggested for this ginormous raise in violence is music that depicts and glorifies violence towards women. Psychology reports that a study conducted in many of US states concluded that music that depicted acts of violence led to more aggressive behavior. Repeated exposure to aggressive lyrics, lead to a more aggressive personality. This isn't healthy for the young people of America.
