Questio n for the culture: No w that Do ja Cat, Ariana, Camila, Cardi B, Kehlani and Nicki Minaj and Be yo ncé have had number o nes with songs a bo ut being sexy, wearing no clothes, f------, cheating etc - can I please go back to singing about being embo died, feeling beautiful by being in love even if the relationship is not perfect, or dancing for money or whatever I want -without being crucified or saying that I'm glamorizing abuse?????? Im fed up with female writers and alt singers saying that I glamo rize abuse when in reality I'm just a glamoro us person singing about the realities of what we are all now seeing are very prevalent emotionally abusive relationshi ps all over the wo rld. With all of the to pics wo men are finally allowed to explore I just want to say over the last ten years I think it's pathetic that my minor lyrical exploration detailing my so metimes su bmissive or passive roles in my relationships has often made peo ple say Ive set women back hundreds of years. Let this be clear, I' m no t not a femninist -but there has to be a place in feminism for wo men who look and act like me the kind of woman who says no but men hear yes- the kind of women who are slated mercilessly for being their authentic, delicate selves, The kind of women who get their own stories and voices taken away from them by stronger wo men or by men who hate wo men. I' ve been honest and optimistic about the challenging relatio nships I've had. News flash! That's just how it is for many women. And that was sadly my experience up until the point that those records were made. So I just want to say it's been a long 10 years of b------- reviews up until recently and I' ve learned a lot from them but I also feel it really paved the way for other women to stop * putting on a happy face' and to just be able to say whatever the hell they wanted to in their music- unlike my experience where if I even expressed a note of sadness in my first two records I was deemed literally hysterical as though it was literally the 1920s Anyways none of this has anything to do a bo ut much but
