Ariana took to Twitter to speak out against what she sees as the objectification of women, writing in an open letter, “This may not seem like a big deal to some of you but I feel sick and objectified… I am not a piece of meat that a man gets to utilize for his pleasure…I’m an adult human being in a relationship with a man who treats me with love and respect…It hurts my heart that so many young people are so comfortable enough using these phrases and objectifying women with such ease…”
Ariana went on to say, “I felt like speaking out about this one experience tonight because I know very well that most women know the sensation of being spoken about in an uncomfortable way…We are not objects or prizes. We are QUEENS.”
Ariana then went on to address critics on Twitter who brought to attention the sometimes provocative way the singers dresses. Ariana responded, “Expressing sexuality in art is not an invitation for disrespect!!! Just like wearing a short skirt is not asking for assault…You are literally saying that if we dress a certain way we are yours to take. But we are not!!! It’s our right to express ourselves.”
