Alright, so I go to a Catholic school, and in my theology class our teacher allows us to bring in CD's or something that hold meaning to us. So I brought in Labor Days since it helps me think more clearly and holds significance for me.

I played one of my favorite tracks of all time, "Daylight"

Now, I realize that the lyrics "Life's not a bitch, life is a beautiful woman. You only call her a bitch because she won't let you get that pussy" can be brought to question as being appropriate or not in a school environment, but once I cut down the lines and thought about what they really meant, I saw no problem in what was being said.

So it plays, and once the song is over, the first thing my teacher says is that she usually accepts and is open to music, but Hip-Hop is notorious for being misgynistic among detractors. Then she goes on to call Aesop a misogynist and that she is insulted I brought such discriminating garbage into the classroom.

Now, I don't care if you like what I like or not, but what gets at me is the fact that she hates it for the wrong reason. I even tried explaining the lyric to her (someone who's pet peeve is people taking everything literally) and she cuts me off with misinterpreted statements of how it was a direct attack on woman and he is displaying his thoughts of male domination over the inferior female race.

I just stopped talking after that as I saw there was absolutely no reasoning with her and I might as well had just turned and argued to the wall. Me personally, I think she was just bringing up the lyric as an excuse to attack Hip-Hop directly, as she made sure the door was closed and turned the volume down once Aesop's voice kicked in.

Regardless, should I even attempt to try and clarify this with her? It is bugging the Hell out of me that someone can be so close minded to explanations and reasoning once they make an assumption, regardless if it is based on wrong or misinterpreted information or not.
