Sadly, her husband is fugly, but they seem to have a great and collaborative career rapport. I hate Taylor Swift, fwiw.

And no, “Satisfaction” isn’t saying “pregnant” after “make some girl”! The lyric is about being on the make ie looking for action.

She doesn't know anything about that. She didn't even graduate high school.

1. And yet she owns the rights to all her songs and has built a brand that is all hers. What do you own that you created by yourself?

2. How embarrassing for you that you think a high school diploma is the only way to achieve academic excellence.

You're funny.

She is an unreal entertainer. For some people she is a lot more. Some of those people are a little whacky. But she does need to be more than what she is! That show was off the books good. Production was huge and flawless. That's enough

I don't think they are the white ladies of DCUM. I actually think this site is inflitrated by legit white supremacists (like, overt, with messages being spread on social media).

Oh well.
OP can listen to something else.

A lot of kids are watching, listening, and taking in raunchy lyrics and gestures, wherever they're found. And they're found all over in the music industry because entertainers in general (certainly not only Beyonce but including her for sure) are all about making $$$$$.

Handle your own household and prohibit your own kids from listening to her if that’s your preference but well intentioned or not you don’t get to tell other people how to raise their kids and what music they’re allowed to appreciate. It’s called tolerance and the respect of others rights (the artist and the fans) you should try those concepts sometime it’s very helpful towards society as a whole as opposed to censorship and cultural prohibition.

PP here. I work in a middle school. Come visit us sometime. Far too many of our kids don't have a parent or other steady, loving influence in their lives. They do listen to a lot of music that degrades women.

And just how often do you periodically pull the parents and/or guardians of these middle schoolers aside and tell them what their kids should/shouldn't listen to?

PP here. I don't.

Well I guess the degradation of women is not as dire a circumstance as you suggest if you somehow manage to find the restraint to keep your mouth shut about it outside of cyberspace.

I'm sure you're aware that, if a person works in a public school setting, personal opinions and subjective comments are not permissible. On the other hand, we're free to share our thoughts on the internet, just as you can. Will add that I doubt you're the type who rarely is able to keep her mouth closed.

Well unlike you apparently Beyoncé doesn't keep her mouth shut about empowering women.



Run the World (Girls)
I'm repping for the girls
Who taking over the world
Have me raise a glass
For the college grads

Girls, we run this motha, yeah
Girls we run this motha, girls
Who run the world?
Girls

How depressing that she’s recycling the same lame Spice Girls style “empowerment” 20 years later. Who ever thought that the Spice Girls would sound cerebral in comparison to 2019’s girl power offering?
