It wasn't my intent to imply that she recreated herself iinto a hypersexualized woman but I see how you got that from my comment. My main problem is that Beyonce uses her sex to get men to pay attention and THEN she espouses her "feminist" lyrics. You say a couple of booty shots and people lose their shit? That's not

Except now she's like every other female popsinger at least in the US that sells records by being sex objects. Yes Beyonce can sing, but now she's also made herself into a voicebox with tits and an ass.

That is exactly what I was thinking when reading through this. It's just even sadder seeing Beyonce do this because her voice is good enough to stand on its own.

I hear the frustration. Especially since the mainstream feminist movement constantly forgets about POC.

Yeeeeeep. My eyes rolled so hard as I was like JayZ doesn't need to worry about that shit. Everyone knows what he looks like.

If someone called for the rape of a prominent feminist and then apologized, would you be so forgiving? Or if someone called for the rape or death of your mother? Would you be so forgiving? I'm not particularly a Paul Walker fan & yeah, Scott Walker is on the dark side to me but people's actions have consequences. They

I don't really pay attention to her and I didn't know. Thanks for sounding the alert that she made a song that I don't necessarily consider racist, but pretty insensitive and reductionist of a persecuted culture. It is a shame Jezebel didn't call it out. #Solidarity... man.

I agree with this. I was a little uncomfortable calling her a racist and couldn't quite articulate why. This did that.

Not your experiences of course but the reap what you sow. I completely agree. She acts like this is something crazy & noteworthy that her GOP sister would be against homosexuality. I'm glad she's calling her out now, better late than never, but it would have been a much more powerful statement during the Bush years

♥ this.

I so want to recommend this comment 1012971912091093092030190428923982309 times. It's so amazing.

This and a million other articles. Get your head out of your ass.

I completely agree with this. There ARE good role models that have traits people SHOULD aspire to. And likewise, there are bad.

And can I hear a HELL YES.

One of the interesting things your ridiculous & reductionist rant doesn't take in mind is that us females are a population of human beings capable of higher thought. Since we're capable of higher thought, we agree, we disagree, we argue, we discuss. So no, once you consider that, it's not truly amazing.

You totally just said my comment before I wrote it. They could hire a horse to be their new spokesperson for all I care, misogyny is still misogyny no matter who spouts it.

THIS. I can hear what people are saying when they say we should be focusing on things that feminism wants us to vs. fighting over a word with a negative connotation but it has a negative connotation because people haven't stopped to even think about what feminism actually is. I think that's worth a fight. Feminism is

"... and then Syria Syria-ed Syria's Syria. Am I doing politics right yet?" << The best line of text I've seen all day. I want to star this comment soooooo many times! Youll be doing politics right only if you scream over people actually trying to say intelligent things.

You weren't catcalling. You were trying to be a decent human being. Yeah the drinking motion probably looked bad and they probably thought you were catcalling but I'm guessing they understood what you were really trying to tell them when Coke started pouring down the windshield.

I completely agree. I'm reading some of these comments and I'm horrified. To everyone who is ridiculously confused: YES, CB was raped and he is a victim of sexual assault even if he doesn't see himself as a victim. Like it was pointed out, if the genders were reversed, everyone on this site would be like "oh that's
