Political Correctness, or PC as it is known, is for some the scourge of the modern world.

For those that don't know, this is the trend to shun or even legislate against, sexist comments or thought. It also includes anti racist element. While I applaud any move to end racism, I'm not sure that not being able to offer someone coffee and ask them if they like it black or white, is maybe going way too far!

But it seems it missed the reggae world which even today seems to be pretty unaffected by it. Particularly the sexist angle!

I thought it might be a cool thread to list some LPs or tracks that fly in the face of this sexist PC vibe.

Please stick to the thread, don't turn this into a discussion about racism. Do that in another thread. This one's for outragiously sexist songs or LPs.

The funny thing though is that it was women that bought the slackness music to a large extent.

"Mariage" by the Meditations,

"Mariage is like a rat trap.. easy come easy go, that's the way I play the show.."

there's this sizzla song "first thing, woman haffi give me pum pum" and then later he gets into slapping girls that diss marcus garvey

yellowman is often very sexist, and feels that hes very sexy, much to the (correct) ridicule of prince fari on some of his sets with suns of arqa.macka b..sex machine..is a great lyric opposing sexism
