Azealia Banks has taken to Instagram to rail against the double standards she feels apply to the words people use to talk about women and gay men.
In a post with the caption “Azealia Banks is Homophobic 1” she writes, “Why is it okay… for a gay man to colloquially use the word ‘B-tch’ to refer to women, but is it not okay for me to colloquially use the word ‘f—-t’ to refer to myself or an opponent? Do gay men get a special pass to say misogynist things simply because they like dick? The argument is that countless gay kids hear the word ‘f—-t’ before they are beat to death… But do you know how many women hear the word ‘b-tch’ before their husbands beat them to death? Before they are murdered/raped…?”
As the Huffington Post notes, this isn’t the first time Banks has shared her thoughts on using the word ‘f—-t,’ and it likely won’t be the last, either.
