Feminism and Hip

I see the sexism of hip, the controlling men carrying their women around as attachments.  The hip male secure in his superiority, treating his woman, or women, as mere chattel, trading them around when the situation benefits them.  I see the accepted culture allowing this to occur, from the beginnings of hip to rap, excited delirium surrounding these bitches and whores.

I also see a tremendous, powerful impact of the feminine in hip.  Imagine today's hipster attempting to rap about society, crime, drugs, the totality of that which holds him down, without the past success of women in the hip culture.  I see today's renouncement of the feminine as another ridicule of that which holds artists down, the matriarch, the girlfriend that actually controls the strings that make the performers dance.  Say what you will about past female performers, along with their success, but you cannot fail to recognize the impact they, along with every mother, wife or girlfriend, have upon the hipster. 

Hip is replete with feminine figures that dominate the scene.  Ella Fitzgerald, Carol Burnette, Lucille Ball, Jennifer Lopez.  All successful, all dominant.  How can a culture be dominated by sexist males that perform side by side with such domineering women as these?  Easy, feminism allows it.
