I had originally posted the following December 2020 but had posted of the works umpteen prior throughout the nearly 2 decades I've been a social media proponent:
An lustrous assessment of 1999's “Taming Of The Shrew.". I have said the following throughout the course of many years Kat was definitely a character after my own heart as I said many years ago now (probably 9 or even 10 and several times over the years to less than savory types poking aboit) “I am the shrew you can’t tame me (in the sense of change me) or pull anything over on me. I’ve seen it, heard it, and some that hasn’t been heard of yet…get past it.” Of course the ferocity of it does shift the more you grow up, the prolonged life experience you encounter but the core foundation remains. Women like myself as I’ve spoke of many times stem from reputable warrior cultures therefore it’s already hereditary. Whom of which actually have a brain, can comprehend and support for ourselves, cognizant of brain power and standing very firm within who we are always have been. We don’t need anyone saving us or pitying us. We’re our own sheros in the very real sense. Besides we’ve seen it heard it and or encountered it. Matter of fact an elder from my Performing Academy days bumped into a sibling of mine about a year ago now. Upon asking what I was up to in life my sibling of course responded. The individual without missing a beat replied “That sounds like her and does not surprise me.”
This was among the music I listened to during my keke hood…
Hearing songs of that content during the 2020s you can’t help but think “Sure couldn’t get away releasing that within 2020s” …even though there is a million surpassing graphic and prior has been supported by the public of the sexualized side that honestly doesn’t have a great deal of wit nor artistic value, it’s rudimentary and ignorant However if a song like this were released there probably be complaints from snowflakes and the like about “promoting violence” and whatever soft stupidity. HOWEVER as George Carlin once stated 2 decades prior numerous are overly sensitive now about ridiculous things IE soft language, sensibilities or lack thereof but yet issues that are really pressing such as the fact of public awareness the past 20 years over 200 million Girls annually ranging from newborn to 18 years old are forcibly mutilated while fully conscious (Female Genital Mutilation) that converts to every 20 seconds this is occuring to a girl within the world.
OR the fact Girls and Women fall into the equally horrendous criminal enterprise of being sex trafficking (with Girls/Women of color being the majority of those victimized at 75% to 85 %), OR perhaps the fact more Girls and Women have been murdered as a result of Gender Based Violence and Femicide than the lives lost during any of the wars during the past50 years again majority being of color - and nearly nobody protests it.
I’ve posted this a few times over the years but it’s a human rights proble. that isn’t and hasn't been heard to the extent it is owed. Therefore I’m going to leave or there and depart as the moral of the story has been once again made.
