why we digg rihanna:
In early romantic & victorian literature, a pleasing woman was tamed, quiet, and ultimately "milk" (void of all flavor and exceptional taste). Even more important, women were unappealing if they had been "vexed" in any type of way.
vexed/Adjective
1. (of a problem or issue) Difficult and much debated; problematic.
any woman who ever came from a dishonorable family. a woman who was missing a mother or father. a woman with an illegitimate birth, or a women who was a victim of abuse.
Rhianna is the anti-woman reincarnate. She breaks the rules in so many ways that you almost have to take her in doses. From her accent to her violent lyrics, she is the epitome of everything that is NON-traditional-eurocentric. She is the voice for any woman who feels like she does not meet the status quo of what it means to be the "perfect woman". Although she is hyper-sexual (which could easily be called an effect of misogynist pressures), she fights through her music. After watching her domestic violence quarrel debut across the world, she made a clear and conscious decision not to be the good girl anymore. consequently, She brings out the dark & "loud" side in the timid & meek girls.
Rhianna is our unconscious, that loud and volatile beast inside of our souls that we're too afraid to unleash.

Rihanna- Man Down

give me a break .
you know what .
i never really addressed this whole Rihanna and Chris thing in depth . I thought that the story spoke for itself and that the world would just "get it" . I guess i thought wrong . Another rare occasion on my blog ... is the fact that i am extremely livid .
are you serious ? How in the world would this incident be Rihanna's fault ? The world doesnt like when a person plays the "victim role" ... but what happens when the person is a damn VICTIM ? I dont care how much i liked Chris Brown's music ... some things have a moral red flag . What could Rihanna have done that would make Chris Brown choke her , punch her in the eye, bash her head into a window, bite her and then say, "imma beat the sh*t outta you when we get home" ? Did you see the TMZ picture ? how cold hearted are you that you can brush that off and still blame Rihanna ?
are you serious ? i dont care if she cussed at him , or shoved him, or even hit him ... it gives him NO RIGHT to do what he did . i think its very brave of Rihanna to tell her side of the story and be real about going back to him (for that short, confused period of time) & be real about how she feels . It had to be traumatizing to re-live the blood in her mouth and the punches to the face . Who are we to tell her to "suck it up" ? She had a social responsibility to tell young girls her struggle . There were so many adolescent girls who were in abusive relationships & writing to her & Rihanna couldnt bear to have their blood on her hands . could you ?
She said what we all said about Chris' apology, "It looks like he was reading from a telepromter" . Is she not entitled to say that because she is the one who was beat ? GET OUTTA HERE . she said what we ALL said and she had more of a right to say it .
She handled this like a classy, strong, wise woman who is not perfect, but is at peace with the situation and her decision . True, Chris Brown had to see some horrible abuse to his mother and it seems as though he needs to get help . However, Rihanna ALSO dealt with the abuse of her mother and no one seems to confront her trauma . Some things are just wrong and our society will think of any excuse for a scapegoat . Now, i DO believe that she should have gotten out when she saw the signs & she never should have saw him afterwards , however love IS blind and abused women are often confused .
If this was your daughter, mother or sister who was bleeding and swolen ...would it be her fault too ? Should she have not "provoked" it too ? provoked? miss me with that . If you saw a text from your boyfriend/girlfriend's ex ...would you not go off ? So ... to the people out there who think it's "cool" to say Rihanna got what she deserved and a bunch of other ignorant nonsense , let me just suggest that you shut the hell up :) thanks .

Diane Sawyer said, "People said, I thought she was so
strong?" Rihanna said, "I AM strong . This happened to ME . I didnt cause
this , I didnt do it . This happened to me and it can happen to anybody . Im
Glad it happened to me because now i can help young girls when they go through
it ."
