R&B
singer and actress, Janelle Monáe covers the May edition of Marie
Claire magazine where she made alot of bold statements as well as taking
a stance on women’s rights and female empowerment.
her interview, she discussed the actions of men and how that
contributes to the way women are presented to the society. “People have to
start respecting the vagina,” she said.
She
continued to say,
“until every man is fighting for our rights, we
should consider stopping having sex. I love men. But evil men? I will
not tolerate that. You don’t deserve to be in my presence. If you’re
going to rule this world, I am not going to contribute anymore until you
change it.”
She also said,
‘when I first started in this industry, my goal was to be some best
friend. The sidekick. I thought that would be an accomplishment. But
seeing people like Viola and Tracee Ellis Ross and Gabrielle Union and
Lupita Nyong’o who was two classes behind me at Yale — I can hope for
more.”
The Marie Claire 2017 May issue comes out on newsstands April 18.
