You know what never ceases to amaze me? Any type of criticism is seen as hating. Women are hating on Toni. Bullsh*t. I don't have a problem with the girl being proud of her body. Ain't nothin' wrong with that. I'm sure if I had the body I wanted, I would wear some sexy stuff, too. However, you don't have to be naked to be sexy. Let me explain it to yall men who think that we are jealous haters. We fight exploitation on the regular. I'm sure we can all count more half-naked women on TV than we can men. Why were we all on D'Angelo's tip?? Because that mess don't happen too often!!! And who knows when it might happen again! Anyway, I digress. We constantly complain about allowing men to exploit us. Then we have women like Toni, Lil' Kim, and the likes, who take us backward instead of forward. Because they take it upon themselves to dress this way, men in the industry think that it's ok to expect women to dress this way. It takes away from our being recognized for our skills and abilities. Just look at the responses of N4L and BE. She got a Grammy. Wasn't neither one of them thinking about her singing skills while she was up on that stage! LOL! I'm not hatin' on yall, but it's true!! She was there to be recognized for her music and art and talent, and she completely took the focus off of that. That is the problem. We want to be taken seriously. We are not taken seriously when we are looked at like sex symbols ALL THE TIME. Not once in a while. All the time. There is an underlying issue here, please don't think we are jealous haters. We really aren't.

Now, on the other hand. I do commend women that have the confidence to wear stuff like that. So many of us have self-esteem issues and negative body images. But still, come on.

Oh, and the game wouldn't exist if the players quit.

Just my .08 . . .
