Ladies, when you’re on the street, do men grab their crotch and look meaningful at you? I finally decided to delve into it. My research led me to some fascinating rap-music web sites.
Apparently, Michael Jackson (R.I.P.) started the crotch-grab. Rappers and celebrities followed. Now we have copy-cat behavior on the streets of my town. Never mind that I am old enough to be their grandmother.
There’s something about junk-holding that implies consent. Try stopping your eyes from looking down at the hand holding the junk, and all it implies. And the insolent look that says, “White lady, suck my dick.” Um, no thanks. White guys grabbing it doesn’t work – at all. Unless they do it for laughs, like Jack Black.
It has been suggested that African American men hold themselves because they have large equipment and need to adjust. This is called “manjustment.” According to Answers.com, “some males like the pleasure of holding their penis.” Some? Reminds me of an old joke, Why does a dog lick his balls? Answer: Because he can.
If I had balls, I would enjoy holding them — in the privacy of my home.
Men do it because they can, like a pacifier. Baseball players and rappers do it, so why shouldn’t fans. Michael Jackson’s videos for his album “Bad” were the first to show a male grasping his balls. I was shocked at the breach of taste back then, and it hasn’t changed.
A parallel trend is women grabbing themselves, which Madonna began in her music video “Express Yourself.” Critics called it unladylike. When women do it, there’s nothing to really hold onto. Like Rihanna’s photo, it’s the red nails, leather and fishnets that make it fine. Incidentally, the 1989 Express Yourself video is worth another look. Madonna grabs herself multiple times, and licks milk from a bowl like a cat, and then pours it over her creamy skin. It’s good to be appreciated.
