Let me reiterate my point because it clearly wasn't strung very well. I wasn't stating that sexism isn't real. Of course it's real. As someone who applied for both the police force and border services and being denied because I wasn't female or a visual minority I can attest that I've quite the experience in the field. But what I was trying to state in my original post was that people use the term for the wrong reasons sometimes, sort of how people blame the government for all of their problems, or other non-aggressive quirks, yes it's there, but people throw it around like it's the reasoning for everything going wrong when there are in fact in some situations more talents on either side of the gender spectrum.
My second statement was irrelevant to the first, that fact was supporting the fact that sexism is existent, but its unlikely to change due to the business model.
Hope that cleared things up a little.

But by your logic then maybe you didn't get the police or border services jobs because you just weren't as good as the females and visual minorities and you're blaming it on sexism/racism?

Maroon 5 & Cardi B Vying to Dethrone Drake Atop Hot 100 Next Week; Eminem Could Debut in Top 10
9/21/2018 by Gary Trust
"Girls Like You" could finally unseat "In My Feelings," while "Killshot" should soar in with hefty streams.
Maroon 5's "Girls Like You," featuring Cardi B, could claim the crown at last on next week's Billboard Hot 100 (dated Sept. 29), narrowly taking the top spot from Drake's "In My Feelings," which has led the list for the past 10 weeks.
According to building Nielsen Music data, "Girls," which has ranked at its No. 2 Hot 100 high for six straight weeks, should sport over 120 million in radio audience (in the tracking week ending Sept. 23), along with over 25 million U.S. streams and 20,000 downloads sold (in the tracking week ending Sept. 20).
"Feelings" could wrap the week with over 90 million in airplay reach, 38 million U.S. streams and 18,000 sold.
Those trending totals place "Girls" slightly ahead of "Feelings" in the race for No. 1 on the Hot 100.
If "Girls" ascends to the Hot 100's top spot, Maroon 5 would earn its fourth No. 1 and first since "One More Night" in 2012. Cardi B would collect her third leader, after her debut smash "Bodak Yellow (Money Moves)" (three weeks, 2017) and "I Like It," with Bad Bunny and J Balvin (July 7).
Additionally, if "Girls" crowns the Hot 100, it would end the streak of rap songs ruling the Hot 100 for a record 34 consecutive weeks. The last pop song to top the Hot 100? Camila Cabello's "Havana," featuring Young Thug, on Jan. 27.
Meanwhile, Eminem's "Killshot" is aiming for a debut in the Hot 100's top 10, driven most heavily by over 40 million first-week U.S. streams, as the track has gotten off to a record start on YouTube. It should also arrive with over 30,000 sold. Eminem is seeking his 20th Hot 100 top 10, and third in a row in a three-week span, after "Lucky You" and "The Ringer" bowed at Nos. 6 and 8, respectively, on the Sept. 15-dated chart.
Highlights of next week's Hot 100 will post on Billboard.com Monday (Sept. 24), with all charts posting the following day (Sept. 25).

I was actually informed by them that they were looking for preferably the above individuals. But I'd rather end the topic here, it is a hot 100 thread after all.

So glad Eminem will notch another Top 10!
Maroon 5/Cardi B continue to prove the haters wrong.
At least Drake broke multiple records this year... but I highly doubt this will be his last appearance at #1 this year.

Yeah, this is all propoganda, sorry to say it. JB isn’t held to a lower standard because he’s a dude - everybody calls him a douchebag. The thing is, today more than ever, music sells instead of image. Back in the 2008-2015 era, image sold, and females also dominated which made it seem like females needed to maintain a good image. Rihanna has done jackshit except drop music and she’s the most successful singles artist of our generation. And no, rap isn’t sexist. Listen to female rap, it’s the same s**t just reversed genders. Female rappers struggle not because of sexism but because the male voice traditionally works better for hip-hop. Just like the female voice traditionally works better for popsexism is mostly a myth. You’re entitled to your opinion, but to keep on repeating that females that have the success of males had to work harder or produce better music is a little bit insulting to the males who have worked their asses off

Women aren't anywhere on Spotify's top played artists or groups—but why?BY MARTHA TESEMA DEC 07, 2017 Every holiday season, Spotify drops personal year-end playlists, and reveals the most streamed artists and songs of the year — which this year included no women, as individuals or performing in groups. Seriously. No women. That says something disturbing about gender inequality in the music industry. Ed Sheeran, Drake, The Weeknd, Kendrick Lamar, and The Chainsmokers took the top spots for most streamed artists. The most streamed groups were Coldplay (thanks to their collaboration with The Chainsmokers), Imagine Dragons, Maroon 5, Linkin Park (most likely due to the death of frontman Chester Bennington), and Migos. Why are the top streaming honors — on Spotify at least — going exclusively to men? At first glance, this data comes off as a bit of a shock, especially when our chosen president, Cardi B, is still dominating the Billboard charts, making schmoney, and living her best life. But upon closer examination, at time of publication, only 24 percent of the top 50 songs on the Hot 100 charts belong to women, if we're not counting guest spots on other tracks. If we are, then that number only jumps to 30 percent. Rihanna's consistently remained on the list of Spotify's top artists for the past few years, often appearing solo amongst a sea of men like in 2013, and this year is no exception. Of the top streamed women this year, Rihanna takes the throne for the third year in a row (last year's reign can most likely be attributed to the fact that Beyoncé's Lemonade still remains a Tidal exclusive). She's followed by Taylor Swift, Selena Gomez, Ariana Grande, and Sia — an interesting list considering Swift and Sia are the only two of the five who did not release an album this year. It is worth noting that Sia's release was a holiday album and Swift's music didn't make its return to Spotify until June, with reputation being added much later after its initial release date. There are many possible reasons for the gender imbalance in 2017: the timing of releases, exclusive streaming contracts, or the demographics of those listening via Spotify. There's a larger problem, too: the lack of infrastructure in place to support women. There's an obvious imbalance of power in the industry and it's one Swift painted an incredibly clear picture of when she accepted a Grammy award for Album of the Year in 2016 with only men standing behind her. Women’s Audio Mission, a nonprofit based in San Francisco that offers opportunities for women to learn the ins and outs of the industry, estimates that less than 5 percent of the people in the music industry are women. This number includes roles as techs and studio engineers. In 2016, according Vulture, only 22.3 percent of the Top 40 songs were sung by women, and only 10.8 percent of credited songwriters were women. But while women, Swift included, have been speaking out about the imbalance for awhile, the men on Spotify's top five lists all benefit from heavy radio play as well — something women unfortunately do not get the same luxury of having. That is also informed by record label support for artists and more. All of this directly contributes to the representation of very few women — or a straight-up omission of women — in festival lineups, a problem that has been around for awhile. Despite the increased conversations about it, it doesn't seem to be getting much better.Basically, this Spotify data is symptomatic a problem that hits every area of the industry. It's all connected. In the UK, a campaign called ReBalance is providing low-barrier opportunities for women engineers and artists to access studio time, festivals, and travel/accommodations. More programs like this would be groundbreaking. Hiring more women would improve the breadth of music we enjoy, and result in better Spotify top five lists for years to come. mashable.com/2017/12/07/spotify-top-five-2017-all-men/?europe=true#e_cl8kwxNiqwThe latter bolded part is very important imo. And it all comes down to the fact that Drake, Eminem and Travis Scott fart top 40 hits when their albums are out when even big female artist struggle to get one.

We’re not gonna change each other’s minds, I’m done with this conversation What’s wrong with feminism though? Well, besides the super patronizing members (telling me to get a clue) modern feminism has nothing to do with the original feminists who actually supported equality. I really don’t feel like having a political argument on a music board, but if you want you can research the problems with 3rd wave feminism, because they’re well-documented on the internet. If you search “feminism” on YouTube and sort by most viewed the first 10 results will be shitting on modern feminism Again, I’m done with this conversation. If you wish to continue it, you can PM me, but I won’t be responding in a thread about the 9/29 billboard hot 100

Congrats on Maroon 5/Cardi B getting a #1 record together. I'm sure Monday will be a mess between Cardi/Nicki's fanbases. I love this ending. Drake got to break the record for most weeks at #1 in a calendar year and Cardi gets to break a record, too.

To be fair, society today is the least sexist it has EVER been. Even compared to 100 years ago, even compared to today. I find it ridiculous, and honestly quite sad, that people cry about sexism sbut much. It's the least of anybody's problems if you live in Europe or North America. People from 100 years ago, or people from Africa and Asia have a right to complain.

Interesting point of view on a global forum :sip2: What's the breaking point when sexism doesn't exists and feminism isn't needed if we are there now?

Maroon 5 & Cardi B Vying to Dethrone Drake Atop Hot 100 Next Week; Eminem Could Debut in Top 10
9/21/2018 by Gary Trust "Feelings" could wrap the week with over 90 million in airplay reach, 38 million U.S. streams and 18,000 sold. ---> IMF's airplay this week is ~75M... lolMeanwhile, Eminem's "Killshot" is aiming for a debut in the Hot 100's top 10, driven most heavily by over 40 million first-week U.S. streams, as the track has gotten off to a record start on YouTube. It should also arrive with over 30,000 sold. ---> Well... YouTube Insights has Killshot at 28M after six days, but they're not counting Killshot's first day (9-15M U.S. views). Eminem is coming for that HDS #1 with only two days on iTunes.

We're also the least violent and racist we've ever been as whole, but that doesn't mean it doesn't still happen, and it's very much not "the least of anybody's problems" anywhere. I witness sexism on a small scale at least one a week and on a grand scale at least once a month. Guess where I live? Not in the past, Africa, or Asia. What kind of sheltered world are you all living in for crying out loud? Just turn on the damn news for once and I'm sure you'll see some sort of story that involves some facet of sexism within 30 minutes, some of which involve our own president. But you all can keep grasping at those straws, I guess. You'll forever remain thirsty, though, because you'll never reach them.

The sad thing is this all started because someone was trying to have an actual, legitimate discussion about sexism in hip-hop and how that's reflected on the charts. I can't believe others would just come into that discussion and claim that sexism on a whole is not real. Just...

In the West sexism against women doesn’t exist. Against men however: Men get 60% harsher sentences for the same crime Men get <50% in most divorces, in some states the average is as high as 80% for women Men are told to bottle up their emotions, and as a result commit suicide at a much higher rate Also the “wage gap” doesn’t exist. It’s calculated by averaging the incomes of all men and all women who are working, not accounting for age, part-time vs full time, or even f**king occupation/position And women have been EXTREMELY successful in the music industry for decades It's the same trolls and their sock puppet accounts every damn time. Lol anyone who’s not a feminazi is a troll? Trump is your president, btw (if you live in the US)
