Are you saying that Eminem is neither rich, nor said anything misogynistic?
Fat cat millionaires have little time for us plebs.
The point is he said a lot of misogynistic shit, and might still be standing for it.
FWIW,
The Story Behind Popular 'Woman Yelling at a Cat' Meme Was Actually the Result of Abuse
You’ve seen the viral meme — a split-screen of a blonde-haired woman yelling at a white cat making a face in front of a plate of lettuce. The meme has inspired countless laughs, but the story behind the woman in the meme, Taylor Armstrong, has a very difficult origin.
...
For Armstrong, however, the image of her screaming comes from a 2011 episode in season two of “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.” During the episode, titled “Malibu Beach Party From Hell,” Armstrong was telling her friends about her experience with domestic violence and abuse by her late ex-husband. Armstrong also revealed after filing for divorce and speaking out about the alleged abuse, her former husband died by suicide.
Another “Housewives” cast member, Camille Grammer, was filmed gossiping with other people about Armstrong’s past, which made Armstrong worry about how her current husband would react. After the other cast members kept trying to minimize Armstrong’s feelings about the gossip with Grammer, it sparked a major fight. The resulting fight led to the image now famous in the Woman Yelling at a Cat meme.
...
“Thank you – that is my past and I have moved on and am in a really healthy, happy marriage,” Armstrong tweeted. “It doesn’t seem like my life any longer. I work w domestic violence shelters and support victims. It’s ok to laugh at the images that have been created.”
FWIW,
During the 2024 United States presidential election, Eminem publicly endorsed Kamala Harris. In October 2024, he appeared at a rally at Huntington Place in Detroit, where he spoke about the importance of voter turnout in Michigan and voiced support for Harris's stance on civil liberties and freedom of expression.[397]
However, he should call out Rob Ritchie ("Kid Rock") for supporting Trump.
Has he publicly apologized for his bad lyrics and actions, and by apology I mean detailing all his wrongs, why he did them, why it was wrong to do them, apologize, and not expect forgiveness for apologizing—i.e. no "So there, I said I'm sorry. Now deal with it because it's in the past."
He called her a bitch and accused her of giving blowjobs to older men because she said out loud who he was legally married to.
So he also slut-shamed women. That too is misogyny.
It's not really “red vs blue” or “left vs right”, as much as anti-Trump versus pro-Trump.
If you support Trump, you are either a political moron, a bigot, and/or a 1%er.
If you want to do a duet with Kid Rock, okay, but say it clearly and publicly that Kid Rock is either a political moron, a bigot, and/or a 1%er.
Jerry Lee Lewis married one.
When in doubt about her age, don't have sex.
If statute law allowed you to have sex with a 12 year-old, it still wouldn't be right.
18 is the minimum—and even that might be too young.
I agree with you that there should be no statue of limitations on sexual assault.
Perhaps if these old rock stars, and old rappers (and others who don't, or generally don't, play rock) were charged, tried, and a few 10s of them spent a few years in prison, it might change behaviour in the US. Ditto United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, and EU members.
There might be issues of singing about sex with children—"child" being defined as any person under 18—and we might as well include women who are drunk, on other drugs, or sleeping (I'm thinking of lyrics in a Peter Frampton song)—if one didn't actually have sex with children.
I wonder what Steve Tyler would think if a 25 year-old man had sex with Liv when she was 16. Ditto Gene Simmons, or any other rock star who fathered a daughter.
Gay men shouldn't be exempt either.

Sex with a 16 year-old is rape. Sex with a girl 1 day before her 18th birthday is rape. Sex with a woman a day after her 18th birthday, and with her consent, because at 18 she is suddenly endowed with the power of consent, isn't rape.
-
Sex with a woman who had a glass of wine might be rape. If a man and woman are very drunk, and he rapes her, he might have a defense of temporary insanity.
-
Consent must be explicit, continuous, and eager. Videoing the sex might clear some uncertainties of consent (or maybe not).
-
In an old age home where a man and a woman, each with dementia, having sex has issues of consent and culpability. FWIW, Tyler is 78 years old: may he not suffer cognitive decline.
-
If animals have rights equal to humans, particularly such species including apes and whales, then males forcing themselves on females is rape.
-
When Islam's prophet Muhammad had sex with Aisha when she was 9, that was rape. Over 1 billion people revere a rapist.

What would you sentence Steve Tyler to? How many years in prison should Steven Tyler get for raping a 16 year-old?
