i believe there are many examples of media normalising sexual aggression

examples that come to mind would be literature like 50 shades of grey and rap music

the latter ironically enough never seems to come under criticism by the groups who are supposedly trying to stop the rape culture(and is as popular as ever) and the former topped best seller lists(selling particularly well among women)

 

"You and your husband have a fight

One of you tries to grab a knife
And during the struggle he accidentally gets his Adams apple sliced
(No!)
And while this is goin' on
His son just woke up and he just walks in
She panics and he gets his throat cut
(Oh my God!)
So now they both dead and you slash your own throat
So now it's double homicide and suicide with no note
I should have known better when you started to act weird
We could've, hey! where you going? get back here!
You can't run from me Kim
It's just us, nobody else!
You're only making this harder on yourself
Ha! ha! got you!
(Ah!)
Ha! go ahead yell!
Here I'll scream with you!
Ah somebody help!
Don't you get it bitch, no one can hear you?
Now shut the fuck up and get what's comin' to you
You were supposed to love me
Now bleed! bitch bleed!
Bleed! bitch bleed! bleed!

So long, bitch you did me so wrong
I don't want to go on
Living in this world without you"

but regardless yes sexual aggression is clearly normalised in much of our media

Ummmm the lyrics you quoted are not about sexual aggression they are about kim cheating and him being angry at her about it, them having a fight and eventually them and their son dying. I don;t know which part of that is sexual aggression? Also if you can't joke about something, that means there's a problem right there. Making subjects taboo only worsens the situation. The West  is not a rape culture. The oversexualized media is your own doing. This notion of freedom=nudity in western women is counter productive in so many ways. Also when you start making a fuss about smaller issues people get tired of the subject and ignore the bigger issues. Cat calling is not rape nor is it sexual assault. If you make too much noise about cat calling people will stop taking all of it seriously. 

he kills kim because she rejects him for another man

"You were supposed to love me

Now bleed! bitch bleed!
Bleed! bitch bleed! bleed!"

his actions are sexually motivated

 

"Also if you can't joke about something, that means there's a problem right there."

um... the point i'm making is that feminists never criticism the appalling objectification and violence against women described by rap songs and it just shows such a glaring inconsistency that i struggle to understand it
