Then why did you bring up Janelle Monae?

Again, never said all women like beyonce. I don't think there's any feminist who is universally supported by all women.

I'm not even saying you need to be an "expert" on her songs, but you should probably have knowledge of more than ONE song before saying "she's not a feminist" especially when a lot of her songs are focused on feminism. She's done more than put up a sign, her feminist principals are clear in her work and the musicians…

like lmfao, you really didn't know Chimamanda was in a Beyonce song? Cmon. And I brought up bell hooks because she wrote a piece against Beyonce, I'm surprised you didn't link to it since it makes great points, but is hindered by hooks' inability to see blatant sexuality as a positive experience.

Also, why the need to pit black women against each other? Why does Janelle have to be better? Why does it matter if she's "better"? They're both able to exist together and are great to the people who are inspired by them.

but, you're saying "I am a feminist and this is my feminism" and then you linked me to articles that were like "i am a feminist and this is my feminist and this is why beyonce ISN'T a feminist"…..

…that's not bringing in other names, Beyonce literally has a song where Chimamanda speaks about feminism.

But…Janelle shows her body…and she makes money…and talked about getting married once, HOW?!?!

I love the Sarah Palin reach, that's like, just so dumb and great. Palin is definitely putting out work that features audio clips from Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. For sure. Sit down.

1st article - wow, azaelia banks. yes, she's a great person to cite. welp. let's forget that she originally praised Lemonade then changed her tune for attention.

P.S. you don't need to inspire ALL black women or ALL women to be a feminist! can't think of anyone who does! even bell hooks has haters.

Haha, so you didn't listen to Lemonade, her most black/feminist-centric album, but you think I bit off too much?

If you think you can talk about feminism without bringing up race…you're a shitty feminist.

wow, you're a white man, aren't you?

ah yes, I forgot, pop stars write all of the songs they perform. Isn't saying "I want to get married and if you don't, I'm moving on" a feminist choice? Because…that's like, the whole message of Single Ladies. She knows what she wants and she isn't wasting time with a guy who doesn't. You know there are more lyrics to…

what is a "fake feminist"? what are your metrics for feminism? how do I submit my feminist application to you for approval?

you didn't watch Lemonade, did you? Literally taken from the video and it's this odd belief that a woman can be sexual AND be taken seriously. GASP!

…the fire effects are straight from the Lemonade video and if you mean the fire effects at Kendrick's BET performance…well, he performed Freedom…from Lemonade. I don't think Beyonce is desperate to get people talking about her.

haha i'm surprised it's still not Feist

is it embarrassing that the av club hasn't reviewed blonde yet?
