"When I'm assertive, I'm a bitch. When a man's assertive, he's a boss"



I found this video of Nicki Minaj talking about the double standards (which have become a recurring theme around here) women in the music industry face on Feministing  yesterday. Granted, the "she's a bitch; he's a boss" trope as been around as long as someone first uttered the word "sexism," but the genuine frustration in her voice coupled with the fact that, oh, when do you ever here a mainstream pop star talking about sexism, makes me want to root for her even more.
