Ariana Grande took to Twitter on Sunday to post a fiery tirade against double standards and misogyny, inspired by the media's fixation on her personal life.
"What I meant when I said what I said about not being Sean's ex is that I'm tired of living in a world where a woman is referred to as a man's past, present or future PROPERTY / POSSESSION," she wrote. "I... do not. belong. to anyone. but myself. and neither do you."
The 21-year-old singer, who comes "from a long line of female activists" and quotes Gloria Steinem in her post, said she has "clearly not been having the boy questions in my interviews lately because I have come to the realization that I have SO. MUCH. MORE. to talk about."
"I know y'all already know this but the double standard and misogyny are still ever present," Grande added. "I can't wait to live in a world where people are not valued by who they're dating / married to / attached to, having sex with (or not) / seen with...but by their value as an individual."
