Refreshing

5 05 2009

Finally, an article or essay about Rihanna and Chris Brown that does NOT blame the victim. It’s an open letter to Rihanna, specifically.

Sure, I would have loved an angry open letter to Chris Brown, asking him why he’s such a misogynist, abusive, controlling piece of shit. But I like the non-judgemental and caring words Leslie Morgan Steiner sends to Rihanna, and, really, to all women who are subject to physical, mental, and sexual abuse at the hands of their male partners. She writes from experience, insight, and a feminist solidarity that looks ahead to healing and growth. Thanks, LMS.
