Letra de ' Typical Male ' de Grace Jones

Typical male thinks with his dick (D-I-C-K)
Typical male thinks with his dick (D-I-C-K)

It’s a continuing saga of male control and domination
Psycho, sexual and female manipulation in our society
The typical male thinks with his dick

That’s how he rationalizes his shallow sexual conquests
As a means of self-expression and fulfillment in a world of alienation
And emptiness under moral and capitalism

The typical male considers a similarly promiscuous woman
A whore, a slut or a skeeze
However, a woman who seeks respect and commitment in a relationship
Will often face rejection by the typical male

Typical male thinks with his dick
Typical male thinks with his dick

Historically some of the characteristics of the typical male are as follows:

There is the stereotypical, bruteful, assaulting, barbaric male
We also have what is known as the sensitive rapist
Who wants a woman to feel that there is a mutual understanding
Before he entraps the woman in a cycle of co-dependence and sexual service

Then there is the pseudo-feminist
He may be involved in the woman’s movement
But still represses by imposing his own male agenda on women’s equality
The typical male is from every race, class, religion and cultural background

Typical male thinks with his dick
Typical male thinks with his dick

Typical male listens to a woman from the position of dominance or privilege
What that means to the woman is that the typical male does not listen
The typical male convinces women to blame themselves
For a failing relationship or male infidelity

The typical male is a reactionary and a conservative
A klansman standing on an operation rescue picket line
The typical male is also a liberal, he supports world force and why not
He impregnates women and can’t deal with the consequences of parenthood
All men are typical male

Typical male thinks with his dick
Typical male thinks with his dick

In a society where incidents of rape and sexual assault are staggering
The typical male will still say,
“If she don’t want to get pregnant, she shouldn’t spread her legs”

In the US alone where 4 women are killed a day by their male partners
Where 80 women are raped every hour and every 18 seconds a woman is battered
The typical male still defines sexism and misogyny a form of good behavior
In a potentially sexual situation, the typical male still thinks “no” means “yes”

Typical male thinks with his dick
Typical male thinks with his dick
