Take 2: Will.i.am doesn’t like women who have their own condoms and I don’t like him
As Shakes wrote below, in a recent interview with Elle Magazine, Will.i.am said that he thinks women who have condoms in their home- i.e. who are prepared to have safe sex- are ‘tacky.” Check out the exchange:
ELLE: If you walked into a woman’s house, what one item would convince you that you weren’t compatible?
W: If she had condoms in her house, that would just fuckin’ throw me off. That’s just tacky.
ELLE: Well, okay, I could see if she had a candy bowl full of them on the coffee table. But if she’s got a few in a drawer, wouldn’t that simply suggest she’s health-conscious?
W: I just think, like, if you’re into someone and you guys get to that level, then that’s something you should converse about together and say, “Hey, maybe we should get some.” Another pet peeve is wet sinks.
Well, Maya at Feministing has some choice words for Will.i.am, as well as an act of “Skank Solidarity”: “I am gathering all the condoms in my apartment and putting them in a big candy bowl on my coffee table. There they will remain. Forevermore.” I think I’ll join her! Whataya say, ladies?
