Anywho, continuing on. Celie's Revenge's post was disturbing for a number of reasons:
1. She wrote the post using Karrine Steffans (aka Superhead), the Rutgers Women's Basketball team and victims of rape and incest all in the same post. ----> Total disrespect.
2. She tries to make Karrine Steffans sound like she's innocent of all dirt she has done.
3. The blogger for Celie's Revenge has the nerve to call herself a "radical feminist" *scoffs*
Here is my comment response to the post she wrote:
Okay, I'm not going to hate on this piece that you wrote, but somewhere down the line I had to stop reading, because you making Karrine Steffans a "victim" was ridiculous. First and foremost, let's get one thing clear: just because you were a victim of your past, does not mean you have to bring it to your present and whore yourself around. Second: SHE IS A OPPORTUNIST. Why would you want to flaunt your dirty laundry and think that madness is cute?! Newsflash: it's not! Now, one thing I can truly say is to a certain extent that hip-hop has dogged women out, no doubt about that. But let me say this: the women you see in these rap videos, they aren't held at gunpoint to get in the video. THEY DO IT BY CHOICE. See, people make choices to do the things they do or don't want to do. And there is a difference between choosing and being forced. No one is being forced. Now as far as the basketball team from Rutgers is concerned, why make a statement saying that they are going above and beyond to justify they aren't hoes. First and foremost, had that been me being called a hoe by Don Imus, had I seen him, I would have punched his old ass.But back to Karrine Steffans. She exposed herself. She made that choice to do that, the same way she chose to lay down and become the whore to many men, and she chose that path in her life. How many "victims" are gonna go out in the world and continue to self-destruct by sleeping with so many people, and then writing a book with the kind of tone that says: "I slept with so and so, and it's the thing to do". All I'm saying is don't make these women out to be victims when they themselves display actions that speak otherwise. I'm not saying that victims should walk around like they are depressed and downtrodden, no. I'm saying that if the person is a victim of sexual abuse, they shouldn't be doing things that cause self-destruction, and the destruction of the lives of others. AIDS is real, and when you are playing Russian Roulette with your life and that of others, guess what.....? Someone dies.
My whole problem with what she had to say is this: why give someone an entitlement of being a victim when they aren't really a victim? What woman with common sense goes out and screws every Jerome, Bill and Tommy and glorifies that, but they are a "victim"? Someone please tell me when did victims of incest and rape start becoming industry whores? Karrine Steffans MADE THE CHOICE to become Superhead. SHE let industry baffoons like JaRule and Irv Gotti entitle her with such a name, and the rest of the rich and famous took it and ran with it. Like I stated in my comment to Celie's Revenge, just because you are a victim of the past, does not mean you take that past with you to the present and future and glamourize it to death just to keep yourself afloat. And you sure as hell don't take that past and capitalize on your current sexual escapades with those in the rap industry. That's not a good look! Karrine Steffans is a GLAMOURIZED PROSTITUTE! Yes, I will say it, and hope if she ever comes across this blog she can read it, too.
So to Celie's Revenge, what you wrote is completely ridiculous! And how can you call yourself a "radical femininist", when you are defending a whore? And how dare you compare Superhead to Mary Magdalene! At least Mary Magdalene confessed her sins to God, not the entire world to expose herself. And yes, Mary Magdalene was forgiven by GOD, not man. And if the feminist movement read this bullshit you wrote, they would probably backhand you like a pimp to his hoe who done came up short on his money.
And as far as Rutger's Women's basketball team, no they didn't deserve to be called "Nappyheaded hoes" by that old fart Don Imus. But who are you to state that those women had to go above and beyond the call of duty to protect themselves? How do you know if they were only trying to send a message out that being called a hoe (when they know they aren't) is not acceptable as opposed to trying to cover up something they've done? Who are you to make that judgment call? These women had the right to do what was necessary, and if it meant that they sued the life insurance of this old ass punk, then so be it. Women for centuries have been called everything but their given name, and do you think that because Women's Lib is around and you are a radical feminist is gonna make things change? Answer: HELL NO.
So Celie, before you get to burning your bra and what not, I suggest you also take a good look on the other end of the story before you claim that Karrine Steffans is a "victim". Like the saying goes: "There's her story, his story, and there's the truth". I, too read her book, and don't feel shit for a whore. I won't front, I'm no saint, and don't portray myself to be one. But I'm not going around sleeping with the entire industry, popping Extacy pills like crazy to help some sex-deprived machismo get his kicks on Route 66, and then writing a book because my money train done came to a screetching hault. Any self-respecting woman (high self-esteem or none) would go out and get a damn job to feed their child(ren), not using the dirty money to keep things afloat. Technically, every dude she done had sex with is supporting her son, not her. That's their money she's using to keep a roof over his head, food and clothing. The only thing she did was lay on her back and got her cooda stretched out of shape, and for what?! So she can say I screwed him and it was good? SMH
She's not out here trying to help nobody but herself. And truth be told, she's only doing a piss poor job doing that. So, if you want to criticize me for not reading the rest of your post, so be it. It was bullshit anyway. Because all that feminist shit you talkin is just that....
UPDATE: As I figured... she erased my comment. Typical.

Tell em how you really feel sis lol.
ok so her post was way too long to read but i got the gist of it...honestly people who have been victimized act out in many different ways and more often than not the behavior is self destructive. once u feel as tho all u have to offer the world is ur body (sex)...when u are made to feel as tho the only thing u got going for u is ur vagina what are u gonna do? what else do u have? ur worthless other than that. have u ever looked at the correlation between little girls who have been sexually abused and promiscuity later on in life? u might be shocked...have u ever looked at the correlation between little boys who are sexually or physically abused and then grow up to abuse others?? u can fuck a child up royally when u do stuff like that and when its not addressed (ie therapy) it usually goes downhill from there...i was never molested nor have i ever been raped (thanks be to GOD) but i cant imagine going thru something like that and being NORMAL afterwards. then the way the women who are victimized become the villains...its a lot u have to think about when this...just my 2 cents...none of this is an excuse or a justification for certain behaviors but there is a reason why people do the things they do.
@amber-alert: you do have a good point about people who suffer from abuse, but it still makes no sense how she's using people and using the money she receives to support her son. You would think just by getting a regular job to support your family (abused or not) still does not justify her doing what she's done. And to capitalize off of other people's misery isn't cool either. Two wrongs don't anything right. Let others be wrong for the things they do and suffer the consequences for their actions. It is tragic that she suffered the tragic events that she did in her life, but at least turn that tragedy into a positive, not another negative on her part. There are enough people who suffer at the hands if rape. Why advocate that you are a "victim", and then make others look bad? That's something she should have taken into consideration.
yea i would say easier said than done...i feel what ur sayin but sometimes when u been beaten down thats all u kno and self esteem (which she probably lacks) plays a huge part in all of this...and as the sayin goes misery loves company!! shes probably miserable with herself so she gonna try to bring down others and make them miserable as well...SAD!
