I can understand why she got so much heat for this piece of art she did, it’s a beloved cultural painting and most people don’t agree it but the actual comments that she got took it to another level. One comment she got went something like “you don’t know what a real women is”.. Sir.. You’re literally trying to tell a women, who’s been rockin on this side of the gender chart for her entire life, what a “real women” is. I kno the painting was controversial but You’re giving me very much misogynist, sexist, and mommie issue vibes.
