My Anaconda Don't: Nicki Minaj's Ass And Feminism

With the debut of Nicki Minaj’s third album The Pinkprint this week, I wondered where feminism and the star’s overt sexuality meet. Can a woman objectify herself? Is that feminist? What is the meaning of life with a vagina, anyway?

Lindsey and Uri McMillan to weigh in on Nicki Minaj, feminism and America’s infatuation with a big black butt. Enjoy!
