In the May 2020 issue of Marie Claire, Megan Thee Stallion opened up about the double standards between male and female rappers. She said, “A man can be as mediocre as he wants to be but still be praised. A man can talk about how he’s about to do all of these drugs and then come and shoot your house up. But as soon as I say something about my vagina, it’s the end of the world?”
She continued, “What are you really mad about? You cannot be mad about me rapping about sex. That’s not what you’re mad about. It’s something deeper. Not only am I rapping about sex, I’m rapping about you making me feel good. I’m not rapping about licking on you. NO, you’re going to do what I told you to do, and I feel like sometimes that can be a little intimidating…Sometimes it’s overwhelming to some men. They can’t handle it, they get a little shook, they get a little scared. But I’m not going nowhere, so get used to it.”
Megan added, “I know that women are powerful. I know that we are out here birthing people. I know that we are out here running s***, so I can’t be mad at you for thinking we should be held to a higher standard. We’re the ultimate beings. We are the superior beings.”
