I needed to cool down a bit before I posted again about this, but this article about sums it up for me. Because just like Tina, to this day, 85% of raped women know their attackers. Because, although Tina reportedly narrowly avoided death, on average two women a week are still murdered by their partners. Because domestic abuse is an enormous societal problem. And already, your huge influence has further normalised this; already, on Twitter, your fans are loling at the lyric. The saddest part about this is that they know what it means. Theyre tweeting things like, eat the cake anna mae? ... jay z is clearly beating on that hoe. About you. And they think its funny. Theyre putting up giggly emoticons. Theyre saying it is #Boss. It is not #Boss. It is violence against women.
