Ariana Grande has posted an essay on 𝑠e𝑥ism following her split with rapper Big Sean.

Following her split with the rapper Big Sean, Grande’s relationship status drew much speculation, with the singer linked by some publications to One Direction’s Niall Horan. She dismissed the claims and said stories surrounding her love life were taking unfair precedent over her music.

Posting the essay to twitter yesterday (June 7), Grande wrote: “If a woman TALKS about 𝑠e𝑥 openly … she is shamed! But if a man talks or RAPS freely about all the women (or more commonly used “bitches” / hoes” … how lovely) he’s had … he is regaled.

“The double standard and misogyny are still ever present. I can’t wait to live in a world where people are not valued by who they’re dating / married to / attached to, having 𝑠e𝑥 with (or not) / seen with … but by who they are as an individual.”

Following the post various musicians offered their support to Grande, including Taylor Swift who replied “I’m so proud of you, always. But especially today.”
