What Kesha's court case means.

#FreeKesha
bbc.co.uk

In October 2014 Kesha filed a lawsuit against Dr. Luke for sexual harassment, rape, emotional, and physical abuse. He tormented Kesha with criticism about her weight and drover her into an eating disorder. She emitted herself into a rehabilitation center to make herself better. Which is how she realized she needed to file a lawsuit.

So Last week a New York judge denied Kesha the access that would let her make new music outside of her Sony record label and be forced to still work with her perpetuator Dr. Luke. Kesha simply wanted to leave the contract so she could make music for her fans again. Also get over the trauma that Dr. Luke had caused her. Kesha went through it all over the span of 10 years, but Dr. Luke has still managed to deny all the accusations. Sony has let her work with another producer for her music, but Kesha wants to back to her old ways of creating music without Dr. Luke.

So why is this case important?

Well many people have called Kesha out to be the liar of this specific case because she cannot back it up with evidence. As the audience we are seeing victim-blaming, disbelief and public shaming. Also we are ranking that a man's needs are worth more than a woman's. Dr. Luke messed with Kesha's mental health and he should not be allowed to work within the vicinity of others. This case voices the silenced struggle of many rape victims. Though, the court should have obviously chosen a different settlement.

Kesha's case voices how little the music industry really cares for female pop artists. The industry only builds these wonderful talented people to target them. Kesha initially had her life planned out, she has nearly perfect S.A.T. scores to get into the college she wanted. Then a music producer approached her and promise all the glitz and glamour of hollywood. So she moved out to LA where the once mentor she had, ended up becoming her abuser.

Now Kesha has many female artists and fans supporting her movement #FreeKesha. Which is going to be eye opening for the music industry because it will show the men dominating wholesale control over the female pop artists they represent. Time for the women to take back their talents and make their own music for themselves not for others.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
