No you don't. You also don't get to decide what is degrading for other people. Only yourself.

She is acting in a way a person disproves of! Duh!

Oh that's right, everyone needs to follow the rules you have set for yourself in life or else they are doing it wrong.

"Nothing more classier"

I disagree. People just think that ALL art is good and special or whatever and that is not the case. I don't argue that something can be art, because most art sucks.

Because she realizes she can do whatever the hell she wants to do with her body while the rest if the world (read: you) goes about their pearl clutching accordingly?

And how is this degrading? She is in serious control of her image. That is not the gaze of a woman who is degrading herself. I dig it. I imagine her saying, "You wanna piece of me? Just try and see how far you get." This is the sexy selfie pose my bf likes the most from me, tiny thong included. I feel powerful when I…

Nothing more degrading than showing feminine-coded attributes without shame.

I'm not a fan and I don't have a problem with this. It's not my ass out there!

I am a fan, absolutely (penetrating insight there) - but that doesn't make me blinkered. Minaj has said and done some problematic stuff - internalised racism, cultural appropriation - I don't deny it. This, however, is not problematic to me. I think a lot of people who have an issue with this are just secretly, or…

Nothing more *classy than a woman shouting down another, while revealing her lack of education. Way to go goodgirltabby - from the sounds of it you're unwittingly oppressed. You don't have to be a "good girl"...

God, I fucking love Nicki Minaj. I'm sort of into her music but damn, this is how you do performance art.

It depends on what level someone is at. There is a continuum. Some people go full on into lands even I raise my brows at, and then some people are on the lighter side. For me, I like the perceived loss of control (as submissives have all the control), and I've learned that some things that 'hurt' just also hit those…

Fuck it, this type of erotica has been around for centuries!

Two things.

There is a dichotomy between recognition of social influence that negatively affects women and recognition of individual liberty for people to do what they want. Sometimes. Like today. It's a toughie.

Breast augmentation: 9K

Oh I know exactly which angle to use: your infantilization of an adult woman as if she's incapable of making her own bad choices is reminiscent of the most patronizing patriarchal attitudes. But anyway, yes, a 19 year-old woman can have a healthy relationship with a 25 year-old man, and they can even have a healthy…

Just your standard white male right-wing gun nut. Nothing to see here.
