What a great comment that's why there is no love in relationships anymore and divorce rates are so high cause people run around preaching their own independence and worried about themselves rather than the children that suffer from broken households this new world sucks you can be strong and independent woman without having to teach the young psychologically it makes them not be able to be in love fully so don't be surprised when this world goes to complete crap because women are too busy preaching rather than doing! Divorce rates are at their highest and you got a woman saying how you don't need a man really smart this is the world we live in I would never get married again And quite honestly don't wanna be married now because of all this crap!

Please listen to the full speech (and others as well lol). It's incredible. Read her books as well. Powerful. Empowering.

We teach girls to shrink themselves to make themselves smaller. We say to girls, ‘You can have ambition but not too much. You should aim to be successful but not too successful otherwise you will threaten the man.’ Because I am female I am expected to aspire to marriage. I am expected to make my life choices always keeping in mind that marriage is the most important. A marriage can be a source of joy and love and mutual support, but why do we teach girls to aspire to marriage and we don’t teach boys the same? We raise girls to see each other as competitors, not for jobs or for accomplishments, which I think can be a good thing, but for the attention of men. We teach girls that they can not be sexual beings in the way that boys are. Feminist: A person who believes in the social, political and economic equality of the sexes.

We constantly experience jealousy, haters, backstabbers, people we do everything for go out of their way to tear us down because it makes them feel better to see us fail. Because they wish they were us and know they never will be on our level. It kills them to see us win. The people who got mad about this song are THOSE jealous ones because they can't relate to what it's like to be a successful, hard-working, flawless BOSS A** B****!

Ok I see a lot of stupid comments and I'm just gonna clear up a couple of things. Feminist: A person who believes in social, political and economic equality of the sexes. Please be reminded. Its EQUALITY OF THE SEXES. Feminism isn't about hating on men. Its isn't about women getting everything and enslaving men. NO. Its about stopping the double standards between men and women and allowing both men and women being equal. When she said "bow down bitches" she didn't ask men to bow down. She sang that part for her stupid haters who constantly waste time hating and dissing on her.

This song never gets old

I have chosen this song for our class playlist to demonstrate how females throughout the music industry have utilized their voices to empower other women. Researching how female artists have impacted and redefined music through feminist action and empowerment, Beyonce's song '***Flawless' is the perfect example. Included in this work is the speech "We Should All Be Feminists" by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie surrounding the narratives in Africa (1:26 - 2:21). Her words are spoken with power, discussing the sexism and harassment girls of her culture face. Furthermore, she encourages other females to be strong, independent, and proud of who they are and what they can accomplish. The popularity of this piece has communicated how strong the messages behind Beyonce's music are. In fact, over twelve thousand people have verbally expressed how empowered Beyonce makes them feel, and I couldn't agree more.

Yet "Black Lives Matter" turned out to be a Scam. It SHOULD be: *"All Lives Matter."* Don't ya think? If your answer is "no," then you're rac*st against humanity. #FactsOverFeelings

Que saudades desse tempo, 2015 no ensino médio na escola escutava sempre essa música e as outras da Beyoncé. Nostalgia!

Whenever I'm not feeling my BEST I play this song to remember who the FUCK I AM!!!

"bow down bitches" = fuck you to all the people hating on me (bey) = not letting anyone put her down or get in the way of what she wants = a fucking good trait/mind set to have also, FEMINISM = EQUALITY OF BOTH SEXES = MEN & WOMEN = EVERYONE SHOULD BE A FEMINIST = end of story. the fact that people have to have this explained to them is fucking scary jeezzzuuzzz!

Well, I'm a guy and I do believe in feminism, but you cannot have equality in ALL things so please stop saying that. I get that there may be more guys CEO than girls and this can/should/would be changed but there are also more guys working in constructions, in waste disposal, in mines and things like that. Don't women want equality there also?

Claudiu B many women are in those trades and many wish to join them but get put off because of stereotypical slurs and insults which is wrong and its the same other way around so what if a guy wants to be a hair dresser that doesn't automatically make him gay

Modern feminism is bull shit though. It's not about equality anymore. I see double standards everywhere for men and women. I'm a feminist, but I don't support today's feminism. People should learn the actual meaning of the word and what it stands for.

Beyonce music make you feel how rare , beautiful and powerful us girls 🔥🔥🔥

"We teach girls to shrink themselves To make themselves smaller We say to girls, you can have ambition But not too much You should aim to be successful but not too successful Otherwise you will threaten the man Because I am female I am expected to aspire to marriage I'm expected to make my life choices Always keeping in mind That marriage is the most important Marriage can be a source of joy and love and mutual support But why do we teach girls to aspire to marriage And we don't teach boys the same We raise girls to see each other as competitors Not for jobs or accomplishments Which I think can be a good thing But for the attention of men We teach girls that they cannot be sexual beings In the way that boys are Feminist, a person who believes in the social Political and economic equality of the sexes."

Ever since I was a little boy, I've been taught that we boys aren't strong and cool and we are supposed to rule the world. Women were second class citizens who were meant to cook, raise our kids and love us. Being called a girl was an insult for every boy. I support feminism with all my heart. I want society with equal rights and opportunities and mutual respect.
