You can’t write this level of timing…fresh off a slut-shaming Twitter attack in which entrepreneur and author Amber Rose‘s most famous ex, Kanye West, dismissed her as a stripper who trapped her husband, Wiz Khalifa, Rose is featured in a Time magazine article in which she tells her fans the key to happiness is not worrying about what people think about you. Rose discusses the sexual double standard and says she can’t help but be especially disappointed by female critics who uphold the view that what’s okay for men in terms of sexual activity and partners isn’t for women. Says Rose:
“I’d go out for a date at a restaurant like any normal single human and people would say, ‘Man, she’s such a ho. She’s out at restaurants with guys.’ Then they would see my ex-husband with a bunch of women. They would say, ‘He’s the man! That’s so cool.’ So when I went on a date, I’m a whore, and when he’s piling girls in a car, he’s the man? There’s something wrong here.”
Rose goes on to say if you care too much, you’re not living at your full potential. Says Rose, “When you really stop caring about what people say, that’s when you really start living. It’s such an amazing feeling. It’s about loving who you are, owning who you are and knowing that it’s okay to live your life how you want to live it.”
