Calling your misogynist (bigoted?) 'art' trash - is opinion, not censorship - enjoys equal, if not greater, protection - and is about the farthest thing possible from misguided or wrong. Calling out bigotry, racism, misogyny and homophobia is ethically sound and responsible personal and civic action.

Think for a moment - you propose to condemn the people that turn out to protest Nazi marches and gatherings? Support pamphleting neighborhoods with scurrilous antisemitic tripe? Bottom line, your ethical concerns regarding 'protections' for scummy rap lyrics - are both shaky and somewhat confused.

You can buy it. I can - and will - denounce it as the toilet brush (parading itself as 'art') that it is.

Misogyny dressed up with a little bit of glitter and bling - is still lipstick on a (very ugly) pig.
(just as Jim Crow - dressed up as 'state's rights' - is still flat out racism)
