I’m not a cis-male

You don’t have to be to mansplain. Please keep up before you try to educate. The next time I ask you about sexism would be the first time and I have no desire in thoughts from a man who lives to be perpetually wrong on everything.

It’s not sexist for her to seek whatever she wants to seek

It is sexist for men to suggest a woman needs to do something to accommodate that woman’s child. Your Jay-Z example doesn’t cover that. No one has said “hmm Jay-Z should go to Vegas bc he has 4 children.. settle down.. stop traveling” 

Men Pushing their societal and ancient agenda on working women is sexist

An example: if “50 year old Brad from accounting” told “Stephanie” that she shouldnt work so much and so hard bc she just had a baby

The most sexist thing going on right now is literally a man mansplaining sexism to a woman. 

The next time I ask you about what sexism is would be the first time. 

And by the way, men are not the only participants in sexist behavior  

I think it’s smart for her to do Vegas and I don’t think it’s sexist. As an actual woman with society’s weight on my shoulders, I can see why she’d want to give her child some stability as I believe she has custody of her young son. It helps from a stability standpoint as well as with his immune system. I remember reading about Jay-Z and Beyoncé’s twins getting sick in Europe while on tour and there were people saying that they shouldn’t have been flying their children around so frequently. There’s nothing wrong with making accommodations for working moms. It’s what we ask companies to do which is why there’s a push for better parental leave, flexible hours, and additional protections for working moms so that they don’t opt out of the workforce and we can continue to push for better gender representation for women at senior levels. Nobody would consider that sexism. They would consider it a push for parity. And I say this knowing damn well I’m now in a senior level position to push for practices and benefits that protect working moms. 

It was a shit show and she should’ve said no. It’s akin to asking Fantasia to do Livin La Vida Loca.

The BIG FOUR LIVES and remains the most iconic run of albums of almost ANY discography!!!

I legit get goosebumps to think how she was releasing classic after classic. Iconic. Legendary. Queen. 

I can still laugh at those pictures with Janet because he’s practically glowing like it was the morning after. Men tell on themselves sometimes. I can legit see the heart eyes bursting out. 

Hmm... I would say Unbreakable. 

She looks good. I like her look a lot. 

Where in LA?!

It's crazy how the tables have turned. I don't know what kind of roots Janet is workin but gotdamn....I love it. Janet owned 2018. 

Yes! 2018 was her year. I don’t know if it’s a combination of roots and spiritual energy but karma came hard this year in honor of Janet. 

I heard Les Moonves ain’t about to get his severance of 120 million. I hope Janet is cheesing!

Stevie Nicks just did an interview with Rolling Stone about her induction and the interviewer was asking her about the other band that are in her induction class and visibly left out Janet but Ms. Stevie Nicks was not having it...saying..

'Im a huge fan of Janet Jackson. She's also all over my tapes. I listen to Janet almost every single night!'

She hopes to finally meet the Supreme at the ceremony.

#boom

I’m here for it. I just know that they’re coordinating their outfits. 

Glad she was honored. I hate the entire look. I know what she was going for but it wasn’t executed well.

I hope we get a collab  and if they do a video, Janet can just wear something from Stevie's closet...wardrobe budget non existent 

I expect them to show up in matching outfits. I’m not gonna lie, I’m a little surprised by my reaction about finding out. I blinked back tears. 

Sensational! Congratulations! I’m happy and proud of her. Long overdue and well deserved. I am so proud to see her get her recognition this year. I’m also happy for Stevie Nicks as well. 

I’ve never been a fan since his “jokes” about dark skinned black women years ago. I’m glad to see him lose something as I was never a fan.

No point making a new thread. Mariah Carey recently sat down with Genius and dissected her lyrics from throughout her career and gave so much insight into the stories behind the songs etc. It was really incredible to watch as a lifelong stan. Like it was over an hour long too. 

 

I’d love for Janet to do something like that.  Like actually talking about specific songs and lines in songs and hearing more about the background and what inspired it etc. Especially the album cuts. I know we got stories in True You but a sit down interview would be amazing. Oh well a guy can dream haha, 

That was a really great interview and I appreciated the interviewer actually doing their homework. 

You. 

The Conscience part won me over. Stroke of genius. 

Honorable mention to Go Deep 3:57 for keeping fans mystified for over 20 years.

So here’s my review of the album on my blog!!! Feel free to check it out!!! Honestly, I think it’s one of her best not just because of how short the album is, but because there’s no room for filler and every track is pretty freakin solidly produced; not to mention she’s not trying too hard to be trendy like her last few albums! I listened to MIAMTEC a few days ago and this album is SOOOOOOO much stronger; especially lyrically and vocally!

“Caution” Review

I don’t click lanks. 

I do appreciate her adjusting her voice to keys she can sing live in. It almost reminds me of what she tried to do with Charmbracelet but it was heavy handed and uneven vocally. 

I like Giving Me Life, A No No, The Spirit, and With You the most. It’s a solid album to me.

Yeah...

Aww thank you everyone! I love y’all.
