Because as a self proclaimed feminist, Beyoncé should realize that given the number of women who are raped and abused globally, that basically making a joke out of a domestic abuse is a bad move. This is HER fault. Other female pop stars don't run around claiming they are feminists, do they? So of course she is going to be more scrutinized than most. Take off the stan glasses and realizes that on one track of her album she's including speeches from a noted feminist, then telling other bitches to bow down, then is letting her husband compare himself to Ike Turner. Home girl is a BIT confused.

So much is wrong here.

First, does this song really make a joke about domestic abuse? Is anyone laughing "ha ha Jay said eat the cake, he wants to beat up Beyonce and she's okay with that, this is HILARIOUS domestic abuse is a great time!"? Nope.

Second, many female popstars claim to be feminists. And if they don't they SHOULD. Not being a feminist means you think men should be above women. Simple as that.

Thirdly, Beyonce wasn't telling women to bow down she was telling "bitches" i.e. haters to bow down.

So you find nothing hypocritical about: girls run the world!! ... now treat me like Ike Turner would

That's not what the line is about so that alone dismisses your point. Jay is saying the way Bey grabs his head to force him to blow (aka eat her cake) is like that scene in the movie hence the metaphor but you knew that already. That's what in this case it matters that the scene (taking her head and forcing her down on the cake) never happened.

And who says we don't care about it?

Many of us didn't think it was the right choice doing a song with him.

That's a damn lie. I haven't seen ONE stan say it was bad while it was happening

I did see, however, y'all scrambling to suggest Chris is the reason who tainted her meta critic score because he made the album

Which is hilarious. More concerned about her damn meta critic score than her pride and motive.

But while it was happening y'all was happY thinking he was going to help BC become some major inescapable Billboard hit. #Fact

But it isn't. Where is the research to back up your statements? What about the "modern feminists" who actually did years of research to find out these facts? What about programs being implemented by universities that show the progress of students that actually understand what it all means? Bringing in the bystander workshops. Those all attack the statements you are making, and have proof behind them on how jokes and lyrics CAN and DOES have affects on people's thoughts. I mean, is there a good reason for you to make these kinds of jokes? Is there really nothing else you can think of to joke about? You rather hurt someone who is a victim, who is a minority, who is disabled for funny purposes? Or what about write a lyrics that condones these horrible situations? How do you think someone that had a similar situation will feel? Think about it! Is it really worth the coins, the laughter to hurt someone and make them feel like **** for your pleasure? Shouldn't we change society to try and avoid these situations so that victims can not feel like ****? It's not all about you, it's about everyone in the world.

Most victims never tell you their story, so you never know who you are hurting. On this fact alone, we should already avoid lyrics like these. And let us not forget all the others facts that has been researched and found out by feminist researchers

EDIT: you should still read this... It's very eye opening if you never thought about it

I wish I knew what page / chapter Tina talks about it.

All the articles describe the line as the moment Ike forced her to eat cake, shoved it in her face when she refused, and hit her. But that's just a scene in the movie. In reality, all Tina did was eat the cake like Ike told her to. It's not half as bad given facts.

Reference that in a song about sex and you have yourself some D/s activity in the bedroom

That really couldn't be more irrelevant. It's a reference to a domestic abuser/abuse instance and the whole "men treating women like crap" thing of the main problem feminists are out to fix. I don't think this makes Beyonce a fake feminist or anything, I'm just saying the article isn't wrong in regards to this one instance.

At the end of the day nobody cares and this won't have a negative impact on anything, so it's not worth making a huge fuss about, but the article is right.
