Executives to be questioned about misogyny
Variety reports that the U.S. Congress is preparing to hold hearings on "stereotypes and degradation" of women in popular media later this month.
A new front on the content wars may be opening when Congress holds its first hearing specifically into media "stereotypes and degradation" of women -- particularly African- American women -- later this month.
Hearing, not yet officially announced and tentatively skedded for Sept. 25, will focus primarily on hip-hop lyrics and videos, which critics have frequently derided for explicit misogyny aimed largely at black women.
