I am really tired of male R&B singers, and rappers for that matter, engaging in sexual acts and being rewarded with success or awards (i.e., R Kelly) instead of jail time or a ruined career. Even so-called R&B singer Justin Timberlake catapulted to even bigger fame in the R&B industry after being the one responsible for the infamous "wardrobe malfunction" Janet Jackson experienced. And now...there's Ray J.
"Sexy Can I" is receiving extensive airplay and is the number one ringtone on iTunes. He even had the number R&B/Hip-Hop album on Billboard's chart last week with his latest release "All I Need." I guess that sex tape and his endowed member helped his career tremendously.
But my thing is this: Why is it that women are ridiculed and scandalized and have to recover ten times what they accomplished when R Kelly and Ray J and myriad other males become sex symbols? Kim Kardashian may have a show on TV, but she also has a tarnished image. Ray J, on the other hand, has adoring fans.
When are fans going to wise up and either applaud the women as well or let the guys feel a little heat? I guess the sad fact is, when it comes to sexual acts, men always get the glory...unless they are not built like Ray J.
