Amber Rose has been called worse things than just simply “slut” since she first entered the scene as Kanye West’s bald, blonde, and super fashionable girlfriend. Since then Rose has settled down and started a family, but that title just won’t go away. Although she deemed herself a slut-shammer at one point or another, Amber Rose has blossomed into a feminist who believes in gender equality and has high hopes of establishing social acceptance of female sexuality.
In the latest issue of Paper Magazine Amber Rose portrays some of the most important and iconic feminist figured in American History in the wake of her release of “How To Be A Bad B$*?h”

To celebrate the release of her manifesto “How To Be a Bad Bitch” Paper Magazine has dedicated their latest issue to Miss Amber Rose herself. In her interview she describes what eventually led to her conversion to a full blown feminist and embracing her comfort with sexuality:
I would look on [Wiz’s] Instagram and he would have pictures of all these women all over him… and then I would post a picture of me and my son. And people would be like, ‘Does your son know that his mother’s a whore?’ People are like, ‘Wiz is out fucking mad bad bitches and you’re at home crying over him because he’s the best thing that fucking ever happened to you and now you’re just a fat, bald-headed single mother and no one will ever love you.’ So yeah, I guess months of seeing shit like that, I was just like, ‘I can’t live like this. There’s something wrong.
She recalls being a called a slut for the very first time in middle school when she knew nothing about sex. while playing a game called “Seven Minutes In Heaven” with classmates at a school party one guy took her into the closet and told her to get on her knees.
That young, I didn’t know what [that] meant,” Rose pauses a second. “It just didn’t register. But he’s like, ‘No, no, I’m telling you, get down on your knees. I’ll show you something.’…And then he just opens the door, right?…And I look over at him and he has his penis in my face, I’m on my knees — and still, girl, I swear to God, I swear on my son’s life, it still didn’t register to me why they were all gasping. I was so young. I fell into a depression. Everyone hated me. I was the school slut.
Rose decided that enough was enough and went on to develop a method to help women like herself, and then the “Slut Walk” was born. As many of you may know the Slut Walk was a rally held by Amber Rose in multiple cities where women joined to campaign against sexual injustice, victim blaming, derogatory labeling and gender inequality.
Like, all of us as women, let’s just stick together and look out for each other.
