Will, you CONSISTENTLY make the mistake of equating you and your peer group with the entire world.
The sheer existence of ONE person who does not use "I'd hit that" in jest, or one who is even thinking something non-hilarious when saying it acts as a counterpoint.
Just because you don't feel you're actively participating in racism or sexism, just because you don't think that anyone doesn't use it anything but jest, doesn't make it so. Not everything can be simplified to "intution" based anecdotes from your personal experience.
And as for priorities, I selected those because they were topical. I recognize that there are far worse lyrics, but they don't contain "I'd hit it," so they weren't as on-topic.
