Derivational ThinkingDr. Hardman’s Theory in the ‘real world’
Examples of How DT Affects People on Personal and Commercial Levels • Personal: • Encounters with law enforcement • Commercial: • Rock music
Derivational Thinking (DT) Linguistic Postulates: • number (use of singular/plural structures) • sex-based gender (with the masculine form as the root and the feminine derived from the masculine) • ranking comparative/absolute(e.g. better, best) e.g. Hardman (1996)
How May DT Manifest Itself in Law Enforcement Encounters? • Number: • Only one ‘correct’ version of events (depending on who is speaking, of course) • Sex-based gender: • Domestic violence/sexual battery cases • Ranking: • Child custody issues – the ‘better’ parent
Sexual Battery Case • Woman called the police saying she’d been sexually assaulted. • She called from a bar. • She was white, in her late 40’s or 50’s. • She knew her attacker. • She was a homeless person. • She was a drug user. • She was a known prostitute. • She had made rape charges in the past. • Some assault charges had been against male nurses during previous rape examinations.

Issues with ‘Bring Me to Life’ • Theme song of widely popular film ‘Daredevil’ • Calls for ‘hero’ to ‘Bring me to Life’ • Mismatch with the movie - Elektra • Export of sexism
Seen it before, but not like this Been there before, but not like this Never before have I ever Seen it this bad She's just a woman Never Again Father's a name you haven't earned yet You're just a child with a temper Haven't you heard "Don't hit a lady"? Kickin' your ass would be a pleasure He's drunk again, it's time to fight Same old shit, Just on a different night She grabs the gun, she's had enough Tonight she'll find out how fucking Tough is this man Pulls the trigger Just as fast as she can Never Again Seen it before, but not like this Been there before, but not like this Never before have I ever Seen it this bad She's just a woman Never Again Nickelback –“Never Again” He's drunk again, It’s time to fight She must have done something wrong tonight The living room becomes a boxing ring It's time to run when you see him Clenching his hands She's just a woman Never Again I hear her scream, From down the hall Amazing she can even talk at all She cries to me, Go back to bed I'm terrified that she'll wind up Dead in his hands, She's just a woman Never Again Been there before, but not like this Seen it before, but not like this Never before have I ever Seen it this bad She's just a woman Never Again Just tell the nurse, You slipped and fell It starts to sting as it starts to swell She looks at you, she wants the truth It's right out there In the waiting room With those hands Looking just as sweet as he can Never Again
DT and ‘Never Again’ • This song tells the story of a woman suffering domestic abuse from her male partner. • Denial of Agency • The singer here is an onlooker, and though he attests “Haven’t you heard ‘Don’t hit a lady?’ Kicking your ass would be a pleasure,” the woman in the song does not allow him to deny her the agency required to finish this for herself. She shoots the man while he is beating her. • Double Standard of Content • “She’s just a woman”
Examples of artists that have songs that lean towards sexism: Guns ‘n’ Roses (e.g. ‘Rocket Queen) Red Hot Chili Peppers (e.g. ‘Suck my Kiss’) Kid Rock (e.g. … most anything !) Puddle of Mudd (e.g. ‘Control’) Velvet Revolver (e.g. ‘Dirty Little Thing’) Saliva (e.g. ‘Survival of the Sickest’)
The ‘Good Guys’… Do not take from this that all rock music is sexist!! • Linkin Park • Godsmack • Metallica • 3 Doors Down • Audioslave • Crossfade
