Ariana Grande Schools This Sexist Commenter on Facebook

One day we’ll live in a world in which women won’t be criticized for showing their bodies. Until then, we’ll just have to save the world, one feminist clapback at a time. Case in point, Ariana Grande’s response to a “fan” who called her a whore after watching the video for her newest single, “Dangerous Woman.”


In the video, Ariana can be seen singing along to the sultry track, dressed in lacy black lingerie. Apparently that was too much for the fan to handle, seeing as he expressed his love for the song only to bash her in the same breath, claiming that he “just said the truth.” Days after the comment was posted, Ariana decided to drop some knowledge and educate the young man about gender equality:

“When will people stop being offended by women showing skin / expressing sexuality? men take their shirts off / express their sexuality on stage, in videos, on instagram, anywhere they want to… all. the. time. the double standard is boring and exhausting. with all due respect, i think it’s time you get your head out of your ass. women can love their bodies too!!”

Keep doing you, Ari.
