The rape line is honestly flying over people's heads for the most part. Therefore, a lot of Barbz haven't needed to make a comment.
At first, I felt very uneasy about it. I then realized that it, as offensive as it can be to some people, goes along perfectly with the song. Throughout history, mankind has been very hush hush about the idea of a woman raping a man. It's all about power... They felt like a woman couldn't have that kind of power over a man...
Sometimes we forget that rappers are poets who speak their poetry aloud. She was simply using a metaphor to help describe how she feels.
But, I am not going to act like the line isn't offensive or could be taken the wrong way. I cannot tell people they can't be offended by something lol.
