Amber Rose on Consent:
I Can Be Butt Naked Laying Next to a Dude and Still Say No

Oh, boo!
That's not
realistic. Stop
it," she said.

Amber Rose was not feeling
Tyrese Gibson and Rev. Run's
feelings on women who dress
provocatively during an
appearance on the duo's new
OWN talk show,It's Not You, It's
Men.
When Gibson compared men
trying to grope a sexily dressed
woman to people wanting to play
basketball with someone
wearing a basketball jersey
(facepalm), Rose shut that shit
down real quick.
"That's not the same thing
Tyrese, ya'll know that," Rose
said, before explaining that it
doesn't matter what a woman is
wearing when it comes to
consent, even if she's not
wearing anything at all.
"If I'm laying down with a man,
butt naked, and his condom is
on, and I say, 'you know what,
no, I don't wanna do this. I
changed my mind,' that means

no. That means fucking no,
that's it.
"It doesn't matter how far I
take it or what I have on.
When I say no, it means no."
And when Rev. Run piped up
to say "I've heard a quote that
said 'dress how you want to
be addressed,' and it's just,
there's some validity to that,"
Rose promptly shut that shit
down real quick, too.
"Oh, boo! That's not realistic.
Stop it," she said.
"If I want to wear a short skirt
or a tank top, and I'm at the
club and I'm having fun with
my friends and I feel sexy, I'm
not DTF. I didn't come here to
have sex. I didn't come here
to hook up with nobody. I
came out here with my girls
and I just feel pretty. I'm not
'asking for' nothing."
She ain't mad at 'em, though,
nor is she surprised at their

opinion.
"That's how society raised
all of us," Rose said,
admitting that she is herself
a former "slut shamer" who
called women hoes.
"Society teaches us to be
that way. You see a woman
that's like dressed
provocative, and you're just
like 'she's loose.'"
Rose, who has become
known as an anti-rape
culture advocate, also talked
to the hosts about
organizing her SlutWalk
protest event in Los Angeles
last year.
