In 2014, I can be irreverent and superficial online, and quiet and professional in the office. These two identities can coexist comfortably without significantly altering either’s ability to exist independently.

Billboard aptly wrote that Songz “fades into the background” while Nicki “steals the spotlight.”

Women who talk about themselves are the type of women that society loves to hate, that basic bitches who write for Jezebel and Slate love to dismiss.

But basic-bashing is not about punishment. It’s about women rising up. It’s about women saying – We can be real people with real thoughts and opinions.
