Ghostface to Women: You Are Not Equal to Men!

Ghostface Killah recently set the Women's Movement back a few marks by stating that they are not equal to men. In a recent radio interview with Shade 45's Angela Yee, the Staten Island, NY, native discussed his upcoming album, before going off on a bit of a tangent and venturing into the subject of gender equality.

"You [have to] grow," he said of his lyrical content. "Like what Mary J. Blige did, she had to grow. I can't stay 25 my whole life. I'm getting wiser. I have to stop limiting myself and start talking about other situations [like] why women are in the club every week, or [why they] take one dude home a month. That's 12 n----s in one year that she f---ed! For a female that's not nice."

Noting the double standard between men and women, Ghostface went on to say that men are allowed to be promiscuous so long as they are single. "It's still not nice for a female. That's what's wrong with our people they put our women equal to men. We're not equal. I was here first," Ghost said.

"I'm saying, for a woman that's supposed to have respect [she should] not just let anybody slide into her temple. It's even worse if she [has] kids. I don't think it's [necessary] for someone who has respect for themselves to take a different [man] home every month."

Continuing his rant, the rapper also spoke on former video model-turned-author Karrine Steffans, who chronicled her sexual escapades with several hip-hop artists in two best-selling books. "I would never wife that. She had so many d---s in her mouth, I would never wife that." He concluded the discussion by saying that he would not commit to a woman who has had several sexual partners. "I ain't never made one of those [a promiscuous woman] my partner. If I f---ed her, I just f---ed her."

Aside from his upcoming solo release, 'The Wizard of Poetry,' Ghostface is said to be working on the collaboration album with fellow Wu-Tang members Method Man and Raekwon.

This entire thread is infuriating... along with Ghostface's comments. I'm a fan, but I don't need this idiot implying that he's superior to me, simply because he was born male.

The black community has always feared the sexuality of its fairer sex and for that many women (NOT "FEMALES". FEMALE IS AN ADJECTIVE NOT A NOUN.) will hear these comments and believe them to be true.

I could care less what two consenting adults do with their bodies, but this sounds like Ghostface is trying to justify the fact that he's a *****, by slandering women who have no shame in their game. WHAT A *****.

Ghost is right, a man isn't going to marry a woman that frequent nightclubs and has kids at home. I don't know any women that was proposed to or married their one night stand.

Karrine Steffans is a mess and she is still salty that Bill Maher left her worn out behind. Only a fool will marry her.

If a woman is dirty a man is dirty....Men hold yourself up to higher standards as well...as for the spoon and cup analogy...both of them can be washed and thoroughly cleaned so your analogy was a waste...

Oh yea....If you listen closely to Ghost's music every album has a song talking about some girl that he loved & did this and that for, who cheated on him. He is constantly revealing that he's been hurt. Ladies I know we get hurt all the time, but men can;t take it. They are physically strong, but emotionally they can't handle what we are forced to deal with. Again, not equal, good, or bad;ust different. My homegirls & I think he probably ain't packing all that much or not really good in bed if he keeps keeping messed over like that cause yall know if its good we're trying to lock it down.....lol..... All his anger & frustration reveals that underneath his hard persona, he's a broken hearted little boy whose decided all women are hoes that he can't trust....& the only woman he loves is his Momma.... Poor Baby....

Ghost is on point...Women and men have different functions in life and everything doesnt apply to everyone. No, a man shouldnt lay with every woman he can but you cant put a womans standard on a man. Metaphorically speaking man is like a spoon meant to stir and give direction and woman is a cup holding the most precious substance. To clean a dirty spoon is easy but to clean a dirty cup that now holds a dirty substance isnt so easy. The woman has the most important function in life and that is why her Man must provide and protect. May be its not fair but LIFE isnt fair, thats why a lot of so-called Men run out on their responsibilities . A woman has her own kind of responsibilties and that should be repected and praised by everyone. Women should stop wanting to be men as if being a woman isnt good enough if you believe your inferior then you are. Dont reduce youselves just be all the WOMAN you can be. Just like Mary J Blige .

"Women should stop wanting to be men as if being a woman isn't good enough if you believe your inferior then you are. Dont reduce youselves...."

I love it!!!!!!! The spoon & cup analogy was weird, but good. It'd be nice if men considered that a small speck of dirt on his "spoon" can tant a pure cup of water with the slightest contact. And I don't care how clean that spoon looks....if I know its been spooning up crap, I ate touching it.....

Now back to the quote: We women should be comfortable with being women and measuring up to nothing but the highest standards as women; not as men. Stop trying to measure up to these horrible examples of men's low life standards. Its weird to think women are jealous of such degrating behavior & convince themselves its ok to act out in the same way. What's good for the goose is not good for the gander because we are DIFFERENT as we should appreciate those differences. The same woman that says this, also wants the car door opened for her & her bills paid which is also a double standard that we woman push on guys all the time. I know I ain't trying to be a man! I don't want to fix cars, or mow the yard or take out the trash or pack heavy boxes when its tiem to move. On the contrary, I cool with cooking, washing clothes, decorating, shopping, & making the smoothies after our workout while he puts the weights back up. See? Not better or worse, just different. Not equal, good or bad; just different. Now please hear me out b/c I am in no way saying that it is ok for men to be promiscuous & that women are wrong to be mad or that we are inferior; Please assume that everything I say here also goes for men b/c they have grossly overrated what it means to be a man with a "spoon" & they too need to re-define what a real man is. Yes we have different motives to procreate, but you guys have abused it tremendously! What I hope is understood is that I am strictly addressing women and what Ghost's statement means for women. We can't go around making choices based on how other people act. "If you friends jumped off a cliff would you jump too?" What we have here is a typical case of Peer Pressure; not the teenagers pressuring you to smoke weed, but societal peer pressure to be oversexed instead of sexy, to be loose instead of smart, to be lusty instead of charming, to be butt naked strippers instead of ballerinas, gymnasts, or even the slighty more tasteful burlesque performers.

The eye opener in Ghost's little rant is #1 - he is ignorant...talented rapper, but ignorant. Smart Dumb Cat like he said on MTV once. However, he made a good point.....again an ignorant, one-sided argument, but still a good point. #2 - yes, he probably does have a crack/coke/pill/drug/sex addiction....lol,...sad, but true; most of the Wu-Tang / "Hollywood" does or has at one point in time. #3 - The "If you can't beat 'em; join 'em" strategy backfires....b/c you then become an imposter, still never gaining the respect or staus of those you envy & emulate. Women, if we are tired of those men who stick everything in site, cheat on us, and only go for the big booty hoes, then make the necessary changes within yourself & start looking for a different type of man. The one in the next cubicle @ the grocery store, church or @ the bookstore. We do have a choice, so choose differently. Not that every man is marriage material, but there is a happy medium & much to be appreciated in long-term relationships versus one-night stands, booty-calls, hook-ups, & friends w/ benefits. You actually get to know how to please one another and the sex gets better. Don't get it twisted, women are sexual beings, we love sex even more than men who go thru their hot periods early, but by the time they are burnt out at 35, 40, 50, etc....we are just hitting our prime! The answer is not to become frigid, missionary style only prudes. Just learn how to appreciate your feminie powers & believe that you are so much more than what's being portrayed. When you find a good guy, shit go all out! No inhibitions! Buy your outfits, learn to twerk, watch uncut, download some "let yo knees touch yo elbows" & have fun with your man. Just don't let that be all you live for.

Finally.....Ghostface said he would never marry a woman who.....man, who's he fooling? Ghost married?!?!? LMAO!!! What a joke, I bet he never marries. He'll be old, alone, and blind from popping too much Viagra....Shout out to 88 Keys....Stay up Yall!!!

I agree that EVERYONE'S BODY is a temple. I don't agree with women sleeping with everyone, but I also don't agree with men doing it either. I feel that if that's what you want to do, then you should at the least be safe about it. And for the part about not being with the women just sleeping with them, HOW would he know if the woman that he DOES choose to be with, has been with alot of people or not. Women and Men do lie, and especially if you don't know anything about them, then you really don't know what they did. I was a very pretty girl in high school that had a man, and almost every guy made up some kind of LAME ass story about me and them, yet I didn't even know these people. I had the same dude for 5 years and that was it. I couldn't stop the guys from making up stuff, and there are plenty of guys who still do! They lie on their JUNK all the time. And that's great if he lived the life he is trying to preach about. And Paris and Kim are some of the most famous people around, due to their sex tapes, and they have men beating down there door. Pratice what you preach, and until then, don't preach it, because you can't live it!!!!!!!
