I just finished watching Chelsea Lately and her special guest was Nicki Minaj. I thought Nicki had a great interview and she brought up a women's studies topic. She said that it is hard to be a successful woman because you are expected to fill so many different roles in your life. She commented on how she wants a man who can be somewhat aggressive, but if she were to be aggressive in the relationship then she would be a "bitch". She also said how a double standard exists between successful men and women. A woman is expected to be the cheerleader for her kids, and a support system for everyone in her life; but she can't be too aggressive in her intimate relationship. Nicki says it's not fair. And I agree. Women are strong, but shouldn't be expected to please everyone. We also shouldn't have to fear expressing ourselves to other for fear of being judged.
