“Jizz In My Pants” – A song that’s supposed to be a joke, but disgusts me!

The song is called Jizz In My Pants and it’s by a group called "The Lonely Island".

I get it. This song is supposed to give some great laughs. It’s humorous some would say. It’s just entertainment others would argue. Don’t I have a sense of humor some would also ask.

But I don’t agree at all and I don’t find it funny. My problem with songs and videos such as this is that it’s not a joke. The song brings forth some very serious issues women deal with and men need to care about because it affects them too! It might be funny if these serious issues were not real, but they are and that means that songs such as this are not the least bit funny to me. In fact, I’m very upset. I didn’t see any posts about this and wanted to share it with everyone.

The 14-year-old I nanny finds this song hilarious. This indicates that this music is reaching those that do not comprehend it entirely let alone how it hurts feminist causes. My point is many including young adults are watching this. It is reaching a huge audience.

Some lines for example are "Don’t tell your friends or I’ll say you’re a slut." WOW-This is not funny because it actually happens to women!

or the "lovely"…"plus it’s your fault you were rubbing my butt" This feeds into problems with rape myths and other issues I find. Blaming the victim much!? Yes, still a huge problem.

Overall, I can’t find this music humorous because these "jokes" that are made are a serious problem that our society needs to address and as a feminist I work to address. As I said it might be funny only if rape never existed. If it was part of a fantasy world, but even then I don’t really get the humor in it. I don’t understand how treating someone cruelly is hilarious in any way.

This is my first post! I look forward to hearing people’s comments so please make them! Thank you!
