Beyonce - the reason ATRL and the GP actually care about feminism again. What kind of impact? When will Chima?

She would never.

I love Bey, but she's not the most articulate...I feel like that would not end up well for her.

Lmao she looks like ledisi

Black Umbrella

Wonderland

Interesting discussion

Newt

When she made the men in a group comment, I thought it was pretty clear she meant "they'll talk about their own stuff, but not women's stuff". I don't think she means the topic of women wont come up. It's not the most well written sentence but I think she means who is the focus of the conversation, not who is involved.

I see where she is coming from

whewwwwwww

Maybe she should be a real feminist and stop telling other women what to do and let them do what they want?

Put a group of men together and they will not talk about women at all, they will just talk about their own stuff.

In the US, where Beyoncé is from and has spent all her life in, No. Men ALWAYS talk about women. Considering I've spent countless hours in the company of all types of men, women ALWAYS come up. 100% of the time. It's something about society, not just women or men.

That would never happen. She doesn't give interviews anymore because it would undermine her credibility and image.

Where did she tell other women what to do? She said it's not her brand of "feminism".

Her using Jay often in her work doesn't diminish her talent and her empowerment messages for women, that's what Beyoncé is about

I use to drag B quite a bit but let's not forget Destiny's Child was the DEFINITION of feminism, Survivor, Soldier, Bootylicious, Lose My Breath, Bills x3, No x3, Girl, Independent Women (anthem!) wether it was about demanding their man step up, self love and confidence, girl power or girl to girl support and friendship whether involving men or not ALL their songs were about uplifting women and that started long before Crazy in Love boos

Welp. i agree with her

JustActinUP

it's hilarious to see the Beyoncé haters suddenly now embracing Chimamanda. During the BEYONCÉ era, when she put out comments in support of Beyoncé, it was "I don't care for her brand of feminism". Now she has a difference of opinion, all of sudden, the Beyoncé haters wanna sing her praises. The hypocrisy is staggering.

Preach!
