"People need to poke holes in things because of their own stuff. It’s not about me. And we all know it's a feminist issue. My friend Ed [Sheeran], no one questions whether he writes everything. In the beginning, I liked to think that we were all on the same playing field. And then it became pretty obvious to me that when you have people sort of questioning the validity of a female songwriter, or making it seem like it's somehow unacceptable to write songs about your real emotions -- that it somehow makes you irrational and overemotional -- seeing that over the years changed my view. It's a little discouraging that females have to work so much harder to prove that they do their own things. I see Nicki Minaj and Iggy Azalea having to prove that they write their own raps or their own lyrics, and it makes me sad, because they shouldn't have to justify it."
That's always bothered me too, it's annoying that people are constantly questioning the authenticity of female artists in hip hop (and in all genres, really). Men don't always get the same scrutiny.
Add The part where she said I don't feel like the president of the international baby sitters club and shaded songs with 8 writers and SHADES KATY to the title for that hit thread

in the rap industry...you have to prove yourself
and female rappers have a harder time because there just aren't that many that have been huge and Foxy Brown kind of messed it up for all femcees to follow
