Rapper and former loud-mouthed guru to Iggy Azalea got into some hot water on Tuesday when he dismissed the very thought of voting for a woman.
While appearing on DJ Whoo Kid’s radio show to promote yet another “surprise” album – T.I. bravely ventured where most men would never go by confirming his misogynistic views for public spectacle – “Not to be sexist, but I can’t vote for the leader of the free world to be a woman”. That pretty much means that Hillary Clinton or Carly Fiorina will not garner his vote.
When probed for further explanation, he divulged that women are simply incapable of making difficult decisions under pressure, “I just think women make rash decisions emotionally – they make them permanent, cemented decisions – and then later, it’s kind of like it didn’t happen, or they didn’t mean for it to happen. And I sure would hate to just set off a nuke [because of a woman].”
There’s much more but you get the picture. It does sound like T.I. and most men that think like him have been at the receiving end of the wrath of former flames and there is nothing more excruciating than the venom of a woman scorned. But whether or not that translates into how a woman supported with a functioning brain and a roster of achievements will react when faced with the task of running the world is debatable.
But we would like to believe that if former presidents were able to accommodate blow jobs in the oval office and still issue policies and prevent WWIII – then a female president will have no issue balancing the responsibilities that come with being the Commander-in-Chief.
Of course once the word spread about T.I.’s ill-fated comments – he was verbally stoned on social media and forced to apologize for his bad behavior via Twitter:
Till next time!
