Listen, Bertsayswoof. I was directly responding to the DOZENS of comments I have seen that PARTICULARLY state that white woman are blasting her brand of feminism. I am white. I dig her shit. That's all. It is not a part of my regular MO to point out such things. But thanks for your feigned offense. Fucking spare me.

So, this is kind of appropriate because I'm a lil ol white lady and I always feel kind of uncomfortable entering the fray of WOC and feminism. Because I don't really know what it's like to be a WOC. I mean, I know that sometimes it is le shitty shit to be a woman, but because I'm a white woman, there is a lot less…

I'm a white old, and I think this album is G.E.N.I.U.S. and that Beyoncé is a feminist icon. Like, to the point that I'd name my kid after her. These haters need to get over themselves.

The other day we didn't have chocolate chips but we did have a half a box of whoppers left over from the movies and a big bag of mini reese's pieces and I chopped the whoppers up and added it all into a basic cookie recipe. Oh my gosh the whoppers melted and were sort of crunchy-caramel-y and the reese's pieces were…

Not a fan of most Top 40 music these days but one has to acknowledge Beyonce's longevity, dedication and level head. For as long as she's been in the game, it's amazing that she has never got caught up in a drug scandal, a sex tape scandal or any kind of criminal mischief. That deserves a ton of respect from…

Caucasian self-identified feminist here: Beyonce is ridiculously amazing. I've been a big fan for a long time, but her latest is putting me over the edge... she's SO fab. This album was so creative, so insightful... and I love that she's giving us glimpses into her creative process.

I wouldn't say it's anti-feminist. She's essentially saying you don't get to be possessive of me, especially when you wouldn't commit to me. It's mostly a great breakup anthem, and even feminists have breakups.

IDK, saying something like if you really wanted to keep me around, you would have asked me to marry me can be bad if you've been together for like 5 seconds... but if a woman wants to get married but knows the guy's not serious enough to do it, and knows she's better off? All the power to her. Also, it's really just…

I'm an African-American male so maybe it's a cultural thing but how is it not feminist? I got the message clear as day. Within the context of the song, she's basically telling her ex sorry that he can't tell her what to do anymore. If you loved it so much we should have gotten married. We're over, I'm doing my own…

Wait u guise didn't we agree to make this a Beyonce-Free Space?

isn't it interesting how everyone freaks out when katy perry says she ISN'T a feminist, yet also when beyonce says she IS? katy perry is beyond problematic as a feminist, yet everyone seemed to be clamoring for her to identify as such. i don't care who calls themselves a feminist. the more the better! maybe if beyonce…

Great point. Thanks for this. My friend is actually in art school for printmaking, and that's one of his biggest challenges in the department. The elitism. That's why his work is focused on removing art from the gallery, but his co-artist (? art colleagues, fellow students) are such snooty well-read butt faces that…

yes, but she also named her other tours "ladies first," "the Beyonce experience" and "the I am...tour." I think its a bit of a misrepresentation to chalk it all up to that one. I think if that is where she was in her life when she was on the"Mrs. Carter" tour, then good for her. That doesn't make her a bad feminist. I…

For me, this is one of those things where black women will likely differ. For the last 40 years or so, black women have been disparaged for not being wed, having babies out of wedlock, considered responsible for the destruction of black communities due to such out-of-wedlock babies, etc.

Like shit, can't I just feel good as Black woman in this society without someone having something to say about it every damn time (Black men, other Black women, white men, white women). Just let me be ride this happiness out for the rest of the week before I have to go back to being treated with contempt at work,…

I wasn't aware that Black women were
throwing shade at Bey? I know no WoC who thinks she's anything less than amazing. Black women saying Bey can't be a feminist b/c she's married and light-skinned. Really? The Salon article is so, so odd to me...

Ok, I get your point. And thanks for caring to explain it, rather than just "Go away racist" knee-jerking it.

You know it's not Bey's fault that these DIY/underground artists aren't getting recognized, right? It's the already instilled sexism in the music business. Bey rose to fame, worked hard her whole life, and now that she's got a loud voice and can run her own ship (like not give in to record label pandering and not…

and makeup, her makeup is beautiful.

I want to echo hashtagisreallypoundsign and say that a lot of people really love a strong nose with a distinct shape. If your nose is anything like Paris Hilton's nose, I'd probably think you're absolutely drop dead gorgeous — I think that her nose is really her best facial feature.
