Anyways, Beyonce is a Stepford Wife. Not a feminist. Period.
Is she about female empowerment and girlpower? Absolutely. But that does not a feminist make.
Feminism is about challenging the patriarchal norms and Beyonce enforces them. She only has one album that can be considered post-modern feminist and that's B'day. Not this current one which is actually her most submissive.

How exactly does she not challenge patriarchal norms? She earns as much as, and sometimes more than, her husband every year. She had a kid, and instead of retreating and laying low, she headlined the Super Bowl, went on a world tour, and released her most provocative and sexual album to date. Calling THAT a Stepford Wife is blatantly insulting to her work.
The standard that third-wave feminism tries to hold women to is absolutely ludicrous, and impossible for any woman to live up to. If you're not spending all your time blogging, you're not a real feminist. It's become a parody of itself.
