Janet Jackson, Respectability Politics & Why Fierce Women Misbehave

Pop icon Janet Jackson found herself on the scorching end of a media firestorm following news that she was divorcing her billionaire husband, Wissam Al Manna, a mere 5 years after marriage and 3 months after giving birth. Is she a gold digger? Was she in it for the baby all along? Who knows... and who cares?

These social codes and sexual mores weren't made to empower us, they were made to keep women in check! Our notion of feminity as being soft, accommodating, kind, considerate and nice holds us back. As you'll see in this video, the women who make history, the politicians, the activists, the sirens, and the stars-- all behaved 'badly'. For more power tips visit WomenLovePower.com.
