Remember when we told you Amber Rose would have the honor of breaking the internet for Paper Magazine this year? Well the moment has arrived, although we’re gonna leave it up to y’all to decide whether or not the internet has been broken or nah. Paper Mag just released the images along with a pretty great story on why Amber went all feminist on us this year. Here’s a shot of Amber as Rosie the Riveter: In the accompanying article she explains that she made the decision to cease being a “slut shamer, promote sex positivity and identify as a feminist following her split from Wiz: “I would look on [Wiz’s] Instagram and he would have pictures of all these women all over him… and then I would post a picture of me and my son. And people would be like, ‘Does your son know that his mother’s a whore?’” she says. “People are like, ‘Wiz is out f***ing mad bad b***hes and you’re at home crying over him because he’s the best thing that f***ing ever happened to you and now you’re just a fat, bald-headed single mother and no one will ever love you.’ So yeah, I guess months of seeing s**t like that, I was just like, ‘I can’t live like this. There’s something wrong.’” Yeah we could see how a double standard like that might make you change your views a bit…. Here’s Amber as Gloria Steinem and Dorothy Pitman Hughes Amber also tells PAPER that the first time she was called a “slut” was in the eighth grade at a party where she was playing Seven Minutes in Heaven with a group of classmates, and one of them took her in the closet and told her to get down on her knees. “That young, I didn’t know what [that] meant,” Rose pauses a second. “It just didn’t register. But he’s like, ‘No, no, I’m telling you, get down on your knees. I’ll show you something.’…And then he just opens the door, right?…And I look over at him and he has his p***s in my face, I’m on my knees — and still, girl, I swear to God, I swear on my son’s life, it still didn’t register to me why they were all gasping.” Rose says she was still a virgin and “had never even thought of giving head at that time,” she says of her introduction to slut-shaming and the lack of control women have over their own sexuality in our society. “I was so young. I fell into a depression. Everyone hated me. I was the school slut.” Poor Amber… You can read the rest about what Amber had to say about how she wishes women would stick together and taking the racism out of feminism HERE . But while you’re at it, let’s have a look at some more of the photos from the spread. Photo Credit: Paper Magazine /Charlotte Rutherford
