I came across this article which I found interesting. Not only does it refer to a discussion we had in class a while ago but it also contains people's responses to the language of lyrics and the messages it in especially in this song it is lyrics that suggest the writer thinks rape is okay (from this comment people may be able to guess which infamous song I am referring too.) This think this particular article links to power, gender and technology and maybe even language change.
