Which—as she noted in a recent speech—isn’t always easy, or even encouraged, for women. During Glamour’s 2018 Women of the Year Summit on November 11th, the Mindy Project star noted that some people are “turned off” by her confidence. “It’s not that I’m into myself,” she said. “It’s that I don’t hate myself.

When Rihanna isn’t calling out Donald Trump for playing her music illegally at one of his “tragic” rallies (her words) or protesting the NFL to support Colin Kaepernick, she’s subtly responding to old dudes problematically talking about women.
