Janelle Monae is ready to withhold sex "until every man is fighting for" women's rights, she says.
"People have to start respecting the vagina," Monae, 31, told Marie Claire. "Until every man is fighting for our rights, we should consider stopping having sex. I love men. But evil men? I will not tolerate that. You don't deserve to be in my presence."
In fact, she wants all women to consider taking the same action. The concept is the premise of the ancient Greek comedy "Lysistrata" and most recently in Spike Lee's 2015 film "Chiraq."
She's calling for men everywhere to participate in change and work for equality. "We have to realize our power and our magic," Monae said. "Because I am all about black girl magic, even though I'm standing with all women. But this year? This year, I am so carefree black girl."
Monae is rejecting societal norms and blazing her own way.
"Women automatically are told that this how you should look," she started. "This is how you should get a man. This is how you should get a woman. You need to fit into all these boxes to be accepted. I don't subscribe to that way of thinking. I don't think we all have to take the same coordinates to reach the same destination."
Through her music, style and film roles she's chosen, Monae has carved out her own niche.
"I believe in embracing what makes you unique even if it makes others uncomfortable," she said. "I have learned there is power in saying no. I have agency. I get to decide."
