This was after he was signed to Kanye's label.

(146 posts)I especially like seeing Laverne Cox from OITNB. I've been lucky enough to see John Legend in concert- became a bigger fan.
grilled onions
(1,957 posts)She must be independent yet many think her pushy when she does. Thanks to lesser wages she must work longer hours. The more hours she puts in the more(the ones who think she should stay home and "breed" continually) complain about her ignoring her offspring(if she has any) or scream to the goalpost because she's "behind" in her breeding years.
Many have gone to school for many years yet are torn between having a family or going out there with both fists in the air ready to conquer the world. Either way some look upon her as a failure.
Men are not looked upon as a failure. Yes some do get labeled as a slacker but the pressure is never upon them because the laws of the past were(and are) always in their favor. It's not only laws,but judges,juries,bosses, and sadly many spouses always blame the female.
If she goes out alone she's loose--a tramp, always asking for it. She can get a reputation for standing up for herself at work. She's the tough one--the troublemaker. If she doesn't she may get trampled by those who feel she is taking that job away from a man who needs it to support his family.
If a woman has a child but no spouse they think she deserves to suffer--such a trollop she is. They never think of the child either even though many of them are 100% against any form of birth control.
That little girl who should be able to maintain that soft side with a touch of innocence cannot keep it long. The old fashioned agenda won't spare her as she reaches the teen years.
