Like this is Time Magazine, wouldn't you want to be taken seriously and look like the business woman you claim to be? It's so crazy how she's wearing basically underwear on her cover yet Jay was fully dressed on his.

Isn't she supposed to be a feminist?

If you judge women based on what they wear then everything you tried to say yesterday defending Rihanna is a lie. She is a businesswoman, she doesnt need to "look like one" because the cash will still roll in and meetings will still be attended no matter what she is wearing.

As a FEMINIST you should know women can wear whatever they want.

That's not what I meant. The fact that her husband is fully dressed on his cover yet she is half naked on hers is significant. I am all for women wearing whatever they want but there is a sexist element in the two covers, how she's being objectified and reduced to underwear whereas the man wears clothes and isn't judged by his body but by his mind and what he has to say.

Romola was kinda underrated as far as the Brionys went, I felt.

Yes, her scene in the hospital with the dying soldier >>>

Now she does TV movies and random mini series.

Feminism only applies when a woman is in control of herself. A bunch of men telling a woman what to wear invalidates the whole thing.

If Beyonce really chose that outfit then good for her.

Unfortunately, sexism is still a thing.

She's a popstar? That's not an excuse. She's an icon? That doesn't have anything to do with the topic we're discussing. And "Icon" is not a job. It's a subjective status.

Highlighting her sex appeal when she's supposed to highlight her business power and career achievements is not exactly what I'd call feminist, but it's OK to disagree.

You CAN be sexy and powerful at the same time.

She didn't dress appropriately for that cover. I don't see men showing up in underwear for their TIME covers. She was ranked on TIME's most influential people list for being a smart and strong businesswoman and a leading figure in the music industry. Posing in underwear on an occasion like that pulls focus from the reason she was ranked on the list to her body. Exposing her body at times when it's not necessary is not feminist nor is it fierce. It's forced and implies that she has The I Can't Keep Clothes On In Occasions Where I'm Not Asked To Take Them Off Syndrome.

Part of her fame lies in her body image and promotion of curvy images for women.

WE ALL KNOW THIS.

Again, there is no such thing as dressing appropriately when you are a feminist.

No one tells men not to go shirtless.

& here you go.

Yeah, and she got on the cover of the magazine for that status.

Oh, and I see, your definition of feminism is "I should get to tell women what they can and can't highlight on a magazine cover." Good to know! Super progressive!

Jay Z is not famous for promoting a positive body image using his own body as an example.
