I'm with the last two posters, it's got to be country.  Yes, on the fringes of punk and metal there are some WAY over the top racists, but for the most part the bands in those genres (especially punk) are pretty left leaning socially. 

That is definitely not true of metal, which tends to lean misogynistic, authoritarian and nationalist. It might be true that really technical metal like Mastodon or Meshuggah is left-leaning, but that's a definite minority in the genre.

Did you know the drummer of a Greek black metal band was actually elected to the Greek Parliament as a Golden Dawn candidate? (he didn't stay in very long though because he fell of the list that was elected in the next election just a month later.)

Sure, certainly not as left leaning as punk, but I don't think it's any more misogynistic than classic rock or Top 40 and certainly less so than Hip Hop.

LOL seriously?

High school BRTD always found it amusing how metalheads who were fond of this type of death metal would make fun of all sorts of things in the uber-artsy intellectual style of hardcore, including the lyrics.

I don't think any metal I've listened to even mentions country and rarely women.  Metallica, Iron Maiden, Dream Theater, Led Zeppelin, Mastodon... almost all of the lyrics skew towards the mystical or "prog", and any mention of women is in the context of a love song.  That is what metal has always been to me... what garbage metal bands have you been exposed to?  Because the ones I mentioned are some of the big ones, and most of their contemporaries follow their lead. 

See those lyrics linked above.

Metal in general is fascist.
