I'd think the counsellor would need to become the patient.
You said that the background assists us in valuing the content. In the case of the counsellor, it does the opposite. Would you say that means that if you didn't know the background AT ALL, you would not be able to give the song (or any text for that matter) a value OR devalue it?

Okay. How can I be straightforward about this...

The song is shit.
Contextually, we don't need to converse about it or evaluate it.
I was being sarcastic about Lady Gaga.

I hope this makes sense.

Double standards. Sigh.
I know. I was just having this conversation with my friend. He called a girl we both mutually knew a 'lowie', and then I confronted him about his friends who do x1000 worse.

I asked him, if it was a male friend of yours doing what she did, would you consider him low and unworthy? And he was like no.

5 is a pretty low number.

God you're a sexist prick.

i'm joking lol

never called a girl a slut because

a) coming from me its ironic
b) everyone's definition of being sexually promiscuous is different
c) if men can be appraised for sleeping with an x amount of girls, girls should as well.

This is what you get when you ask for equality.

I was reading a feminist magazine for an essay I had to write, and found the following:

'Chivalry died with feminism, bitch'

Is chivalry dead? In the traditional sense, it's definitely dying out. However, this doesn't mean consideration for others should do the same.

I'd have to say feminism pretty much is number one on the list.
What else?
Don't you think today's men have something to play in this too?

I can see the value in it. But I also see the value in the same sort of chivalry in application to men. People should be considerate of others, regardless of gender.
