A prime example of someone who seems to have lost their roar is Rhianna. It is a damn shame too, because I really would have pegged her as a chick who can let out a hell of a roar. Instead she is signing duets with Chris Brown and the rumor mill is all a flutter with an anticipated romantic reunion. My heart goes out to Rhianna as it does to anyone that has been the victim of domestic abuse. My heart breaks at the thought of her getting back together with the person who did this to her:
My heart gets filled with furious rage when I think of the example that it sets for the young girls who look up to her. Rhianna missed a great opportunity to let out a ROAR and say this happened to me, but it will not define me. I WILL NOT STAND FOR IT. I will not be a victim and I will not go back. Instead she chose to release what is undeniably a slap in the face of everyone who rallied around her post attack. IT ISN'T even a good song. Seriously, if you are looking for a song that makes you less intelligent every time you listen to it, this is it. I for one don't wanna hear about how someone who not to long ago got in a couple of good licks now wants to bite you.
Sadly, Rhianna is not the only women who should be ashamed because they haven't let out a ROAR and told the world that woman should not, can not, and will not stand for being treated this way. After the Grammys twitter blew up with woman professing not only would they tolerate being abused, they would welcome it. Hey as long as he is hot and famous, whats a couple of bruises, some stitches, and possible death. SIGN ME UP. If you wanna vomit about the lack of respect these crazy woman have for themselves and all for woman who suffer from abuse you can read some of the tweets here. A sad statement of what woman believe is okay.
I have to wonder if the misguided little twitter birds would have felt so brazen about their desire to be beaten if Rhianna cut ties instead of signing about licking the cake off his dumb ass.
Another example of a woman who needed to ROAR her ass off but instead just whined about shit is, Anastasia Steele, the female protagonist in 50 Shades of Grey, . This book started off as Twilight fan fiction. As if Bella Swans weak ass wasn't enough EL James based a character on her! Seriously sister, you are setting back the female sexual revolution here. This "mommy porn" features a woman who her turns over her reproductive health, decision making skills, and life choices to a control freak, sexual dominant. She isn't sure she wants to be dominated - but gosh darnit, after a whole week and a half of knowing him she just loves him so damn much that she can't bare the thought of living without him, even if a relationship with him means that she get spanked when she disagrees with him and has to walk around at parties with silver balls shoved up her vag. And another damn thing Ms. James, if I want some porn I will go find some. I don't need it watered down and featuring a whiny bitch who you constantly have to tell me is smart and strong. Apparently lady, you and I have very different ideas of what is smart and strong.
My local example of a woman who has misplaced their roar is my sister. I know you have one girl, I have heard you use it. Where did it go? My sister is a beautiful, educated woman. Not the kind of beautiful that you call someone even when they are fugly because they are a good person, she is actually hot. It blows my mind how TERRIBLE her taste in men is. The choices that she makes when it comes to men are sitcom worthy. You could dedicate an entire half an hour a week to her misadventures in dating. Her current little problem (and I mean little in EVERY way) has hung around way to long. She needs to ROAR at him until he crawls back into the whole from whence he came. The problem is that she only squeaks at him. She tells him to go away, not to text her anymore, that this time will be the LAST time that she hooks up with him, and it never sticks; one drunken text from him and she rushes over to do him like the New York times crossword puzzle. Then the next day she feels guilty and promises not to do it again. Every time she ignores the voice that says "this is a bad idea" she fuels his Napoleon complex. She strokes that ego that is already 100 times bigger than his infant sized member and ensures that he falsely believes that "he gots game". I would like to roar for her. Sometimes I want to roar at her. At the end of the day I know that she has to roar herself and she has to mean it. I hope it happens soon, I want her to set a kick ass, roaring, take no shit, example for our niece.
There are many more examples of woman who have lost their roars, or choose not to use them. Now is the time to ROAR. Our rights, healthy and safety are being threatened everyday. For the currently roarless woman let's promise to ROAR a little louder until get their ROARS on board. Hurry up ladies - before our voices get sore.
