Title: People Are Divided Over Erykah Badu's Recent Tweets
Post by: Freemala Harris on April 11, 2016, 11:09:12 PM
Erykah Badu was inspired into a Twitter rant Monday (April 11) based off a New Zealand school making high school girls wear longer skirts. The rule was put in place so as to not “distract” male teachers and students.

Badu, a mother of two daughters and a teenage son, agrees that longer skirts are a good idea.

The subject could be seen by some as slut shaming and possible victim-blaming (especially since rape and sexual assault aren’t confined to countries with specific dress codes). But to be fair, Badu didn’t mention sexual abuse, specifically

She also pointed out that young males should be taught to be responsible for their actions, and that it’s not okay to prey on young women.

Its really sad. I've heard some women talk about how they were harassed/catcalled by GROWN MEN at ages 10, 11, 12, 13 & on. Its just disgusting.

I also agreed with her point about men needing to control themselves. Some of these dudes out here are really just...
