Sunday, January 28th, 2018 was the Grammy Awards, known as "Music's Biggest Night." However, it was music's biggest night for the men, with the one exception of Best New Artist winner Alessia Cara.

Unless you don't care about The Grammy's or you're living under a rock, you've probably heard Grammy's president, Neil Portnow providing an out of touch answer as to why there weren't any other female winners, claiming, "Well, I think it has to begin with women who have the creativity in their hearts and their souls, who want to be musicians to step up, because I think they would be more welcome" (quote courtesy of Patrick Ryan on Twitter.)

Let me tell you why you should be as furious as I am over this quote.

First of all, let's take a look at some of the women and some of the songs that were nominated that night. Lorde was the only woman nominee for Album of the Year with her game-changing sophomore album, "Melodrama." Julia Michaels was nominated for Song of the Year with her hit, "Issues," as well as a nod for Best New Artist.

Alessia Cara won Best New Artist, but was also nominated in a few categories (Song of the Year included) for "1-800-273-8255" with Logic and Khalid, who, granted, aren't women, but still deserve a bit of recognition for writing and performing such a powerful song.

Kesha, with a performance that people are still talking about, was nominated for several awards centering around her hit "Praying," which was written from her heart about her devastating experience with producer Dr. Luke. Finally, Pink was nominated for a few categories with her album "Beautiful Trauma" and her political hit "What About Us?"

I picked these ladies in particular because they are all singer/songwriters, which, if I'm not mistaken, constitutes writing from the bottom of your heart and pouring your entire soul into your writing and your music. All of these songs had meaning and backstory and heart, unlike some of the winners who only boasted songs about sex and exploiting women.

The sex sells narrative is getting old and something needs to be done about it, never mind the fact that these said artists were also participating in the Times Up Movement, wearing white roses to show their support.

Alas, none of the male artists going up to receive their awards said anything regarding the night or anything regarding their female competitors, which that's fine, I'm not saying every male has to go up there and recognize women. I'm saying that the fact that Bruno Mars' "That's What I Like" and Ed Sheeran's "Shape of You." both about a woman, her body, and what they want to do with her, won against songs like "1-800-273-8255" and "Praying," which are actually of substance and worth.

We need to change the way we see radio and music and we need to do it now. Otherwise, these men in power are going to keep saying that women need to step it up in the music industry when really, men should be the ones to step up and not write about sex for once.
