Really Rihanna? You're going to sing a song about abuse and patriarchy after your previous abuse from a boyfriend?

Excellent role model!

INFURIATING!



EMINEM I know I'm a liar if she ever tries to fuckin' leave again
I'ma tie her to the bed and set this house on fire
RIHANNA Just gonna stand there and watch me burn
Well that's all right because I like the way it hurts
Just gonna stand there and hear me cry
Well that's all right because I love the way you lie
I love the way you lie

Really encouraging to those women who actually do get abused because of some twisted relationship where they feel that staying in one is better than being alone.

Sickening.

This song is absolutely not far from what happens in our community. Why Rihanna would opt to be a part of this song is worrying to me. She suffered from domestic violence recently and now she wants to publicly and nationally proclaim that it's okay because the relationship is worth more? Am I missing a piece of the pie here?
