Reddit reviews Confessions of a Video Vixen

That is a very generalizing statement you made in your topic sentence.

Kat Stacks is a known and notorious hip hop groupie and money chaser, as well as other things that I will not mention here. While I am not excusing what was done to her in this video (I am not and in fact, I was rather disturbed by what I saw), this is the environment in which she chooses to live and thrive. As a white female, she has the entire world to choose from and she chose to immerse herself in one of the most misogynistic cultures available in America. However, most white women in hip hop are not treated the way she was or is treated. In fact that video was taken in direct response to a slanderous video which she posted on the internet regarding her sexual activities with several rappers who were married or otherwise involved in exclusive relationships.

In fact, white women are generally placed on a higher pedestal above African American women by the African American men in hip hop. This of course, infuriates the African American women to no end, but that is a topic for another conversation. If you look at the other videos on that page dealing with Kat Stacks, you will see that she has a reputation for stirring up controversy.

This particular example you cited is not about misogyny in general or misogyny toward white women in hip hop culture (I am not saying that misogyny does not exist in Hip Hop culture). That video was about a woman with a reputation for controversy and trouble getting into an unfortunate situation that she helped create.

Again, nobody deserves to be abused or beaten. Nobody deserves to have their hand chopped off either, but if you stick your hand into the receiver of a lawn mower without putting in the safeties, then guess what will happen? There are many other white women who live and thrive in the hip hop world and they are not being abused or beaten.

Are there issues in Hip Hop culture that can and should be addressed within feminist doctrine; yes, without a doubt. But this is an example of a particular battle that feminism cannot win at this point in our society. Until the African American community can find a way to heal itself as a whole, you can talk until your face is blue but nothing will change. The reason that nothing can be done is simply because nothing that feminism has to offer can serve these men and women.

Your choice of Kat Stacks as a postergirl for misogyny in hip hop is ill played. You would have been better off discussing Karrine Steffans' "Confession of a Video Vixen", if you wanted to prove your point.

Actually I read a book by a woman who was his mistress and she says he's really quite small.
