@rihanna Releases Man Down: Whats The Big Deal?


So Rihanna finally brought to us via BET her now infamous "Man Down" Video. Why do I call it infamous? Because the video has been out for LESS than 48 hours and already people are making it into a big deal! Rihanna depicted herself shooting a man, YES, but she also depicted WHY she shot that man and explained I didn't mean to do it but he hurt me. By law in the USA if you are violently raped in your home you have every right to shoot the man who did it. Its self defense. Rihanna showed what so many rape victims are so scared to do. Too scared to face our attacker, we hide and cry as if we are wrong. Ladies no matter how you're dressed, or how promiscuous you are... NO MEANS NO and if a man can't understand that and you have the ability to defend yourself? DO IT. I don't condone you shooting him dead, BUT the eyes and the testicles are always within reach. Robyn Fenty did a beautiful job telling her story. Ladies I want you to always remember No matter how short your dress, how many men you've been with, or how intoxicated you are... NOBODY DESERVES TO BE RAPED... Trust me, I know. So thank you Robyn for this amazing video and song. If You are a victim of rape please tell someone. Even if your rapist said he'd kill you, tell someone. Its hard when you feel so violated and alone, but just know that someone is always listening. Even if You feel alone.
