Okay, so unless you live under a rock, you probably have heard of the infamous attack on Jay-Z by his sister-in-law, Solange, and if you are like me, you are beyond tired of hearing about it, although the Instagram memes are beyond hilarious!
But that is not what I want to talk about today. I want to discuss the natural slut shaming or victim blaming of women. It has to stop!
Before all of the facts were out, everyone immediately came to Jay-Z's defense. He was such a gentleman for not hitting her back, he was so calm, Jigga is so great...is anyone else ready to vomit yet?
Meanwhile, Solange was wrong, she is bi-polar, she needs to stay out of her sister's marriage...did I miss anything?
Even fans turned on Beyonce, saying she should have intervened...um, there were bodyguards and Jay-Z is 6'4" and over 200lbs; I don't think he needs Beyonce to protect him.
Although there were three adults involved here, well four if you count the bodyguard, the two with the vaginas were naturally to blame, Solange for attacking poor defenseless Jay-Z, and Beyonce for not protecting her husband (insert eyeroll here).
We saw the same thing recently with Don Sterling and his mistress. People were not mad that he made racist remarks, or that he has a long standing history of racist behavior toward minorities. No, his mistress was a whore and gold digger for violating his 4th Amendment rights. (Newsflash, the Constitution protects our rights against the government, not private citizens or corporations, so unless Barack and Washington are involved, please leave the Constitution out of conversations about rights among private citizens).
I don't know what happened that night, and neither do you, but two facts are indisputable: Solange has never had an outburst like this before, so you can chill with the crazy talk, and Beyonce left the event with her sister, as opposed to her husband, so let that marinate around your consciousness a bit.
My point is, we have to do a better job protecting our women. It is 2014, so the man is always right, and women being vile creatures, mentality has got to stop! If you are perpetuating this thought process, check yourself!\
Until next time.....
