True. It's definitely a fine line. To be clear, I wouldn't say you're sweeping anything under the rug. That sounds like saying you're doing something to mislead or deliberately downplay song content.

It's more when you give a song like Tyga's "Rack City" a 10 without any sort of flag that it feels like there are different standards for sexism.

I love your Number Ones column and it's exposed me to so much great music and a ton of joy and laughter. Thank you so much.

I notice that you often point out when the songs you link to have appalling homophobic elements, or racist elements, but it feels like gross misogynistic elements still get a pass (from you and societally).

Do you think that's true? I'd love to hear your thoughts on the whole issue of song content.

"Do That to Me One More Time" is plenty graphic. *shiver*
