Male empowerment is often and rightly condemned as being nothing more than a philosophy of chauvinism and the glorification of the alpha male attitude. And women think that that is respectable? This is the very thing that women realized was slavery in the past and rallied against.įemale empowerment is ignorant, psychologically unhealthy and makes no logical sense. It is an extremely narrow and confined definition of what an intelligent woman is capable of. This is exactly what women have always been forced to do. Maintain work, sex and relationships as though it is the meaning of female life, and so all over again every day. They have all been hurt, ignored, and taken advantage of, and it has affected them so profoundly that they try to compensate for their fear of weakness by trying to convince themselves that they are strong, independent, and need no one. Most people who brag about their so-called independence are actually announcing to the rest of the world that they are paranoid, egocentric, and have a problem with communication and trusting others. The myth that we humans can be independent in an obviously interdependent world. Use sexually promiscuous and provocative behavior to manipulate and attract what you want. Work hard and respect the wealthy despite the current disastrous state of the world with them running the show constantly in favor of their own private interests. How does this song encourage female empowerment? It only reinforces all of the original female stereotypes of psychological slavery that have existed for centuries, such as: Please run through some historical references thoroughly first (and especially don't just pick certain pieces of info that supports what YOU believe in-make sure to read ALL and actually THINK you ignorant person/people) before accusing people of being devil worshippers. Whatever religion you had didn't exist until after people mixed up all the concepts of different religions together throughout history in different empires and countries. Now I would love to point out that the concept of "devil" was actually derived from the Persian religion Zoroastrianism. You're just pulling a stupid veil over your eyes because someone fed you those words to say because they think their religion is perfect. This song's lyrics makes me feel like I deserve respect for who I am as a woman.īy the way, she was NEVER implicating devil worship in her songs. It's a beautiful song about women empowerment. As for their attire, they are portraying their beauty, but at the same time they're saying "hands off" because a woman should have the right to appear beautiful as they choose -not because someone else dictates. She also wants to point out that women deserve a lot of respect for all the things they go through and yet going "back to business". Women have started to step up the ladder at a rapid rate, proving to men that women are far more intelligent and important than what the men make them. Since much of the world is patriarchal and demeans women (which ranks them as closer to animals than human) and denotes them in a negative light, Beyonce is trying to convey in her music that girls have this immense power that men understates. You don't need to spam a million comments about it. Okay, to the person who's spouting random nonsense about her worshipping the devil: shut up.
