Is Beyoncé a good role model?
Is Beyoncé a good role model? Would you let your kid listen to her sexualized music?
I'm always seeing people praise her for how inspirational and motivational she is but I don't see how?
Rihanna gets dissed, called a hoe, called "ratchet" but Beyoncé is no more "classy", I don't get it?
I used to think Beyoncé was a good role model before 2013 (when she became darker, more sexualized, started cussing on all her songs just like Rihanna...and before she attacked white women and called them all basic "Beckys", attacked the police then demanded they escort her to the super bowl and clear the highway, without even thanking them or showing gratitude for the extremely hard and rigorous and often times dangerous roles they have to undertake).
What u thinkin'?
NOTE: THIS THREAD IS NOT A BEYONCÉ DISS - JUST CURIOUS...

You have wat too much time on your hands. I would love to know how old you are since your behavior seems pretty off for an adult. Just to know if i should find it sad or funny

She's one of my biggest role models.
Work hard on your career, relationship, family and life. Stay grounded and thankful but keep evolving.
Can't imagine how any of those things could be seen as negative.

This disclaimer does not make you any favours 
To answer, yes she's a great role model.
Her current music obviously isn't for 10 yo children, older teens and young adults have mental capacity to understand her message, believe me.

I just don't see how her music (filled with cussing, sexual themes, vulgar language, sometimes violence), performances (she twerks, wears revealing outfits, cusses) or videos (full of sex, violence, attacks on police) are appropriate for children. The media praises her and says she's a good role model, even though people like Rihanna, Gaga, JLO and Britney get blasted for not being "classy" enough. The double standard does exist. So I'm just wondering what makes Beyoncé a better role model than those people...
Her work ethic used to be inspiring, she did a whole lotta promo, and worked her ass off from DC days-2012. But these days she seem to coast along on her name alone, and doesn't do interviews or performances outside her tour anymore (don't post BET, VMAs etc, they happen once a season).

Yes, a hard-working black woman who's proud of her heritage and who constantly releases excellent music while being labeled as one of the best performers of her generation. She's the definition of a role model.

I don't see how Beyoncé is any more hard working than JLO, Gaga, Taylor Swift, Adele, the Kardashians, Rihanna etc. though? She does next to no promo and doesn't do interviews anymore.
They don't get labelled "role models" and no one praises their work ethics 1% as much as people do Beyoncé 
Btw a lot of people are proud of their heritage - especially in America. It's not rare. Rihanna is a proud black woman who never whitewashed herself and is an ambassador for Barbados, and has spent the past 10 years giving back to her country.
Beyoncé only started to dip her feet in activism in 2013 when feminism was trendy and in 2016 when BLM was the hottest topic on social media (seems more like marketing than anything else), unlike someone like Madonna who was outspoken about issues for 30 years, but guess who gets praised for it so much more...

You shouldn't be taken seriously just based off this sentence. Beyoncé is often described as the hardest working woman in the music industry by many of her peers, including your faves. Just because you don't see her sitting on the couch next to Ellen DeGeneres doesn't mean she's not working every hour of the day on her career. Beyoncé is where she's at because of her incredible work ethic and drive and nobody can deny that.

As America's reigning girl group, Destiny's Child is in the thick of this post-feminine revolution. From the Shirelles to TLC, girl groups have helped women hash out the differences between good and bad, liberation and entrapment, love and dependency. Since hip-hop's rise, girl groups have grown even tougher. En Vogue's lethal deployment of old-fashioned dazzle and TLC's forceful reimagining of the streetwise, regular girl made the space for Beyonce Knowles and her lieutenants in Destiny's Child, Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams, to take on the predicaments of womanhood with the determination of warriors.

''There's plenty of people who don't like me, but there's 10 times more who love me, and I love myself,'' Ms. Knowles snaps in the caffeinated ''Happy Face'' from ''Survivor.'' It's the kind of pep talk millions of women have given themselves before confronting the boss, or acting the boss with a problem employee. The song's mix of hyper-rhythms and floating melody, culminating in a delirious vocal run based around the phrase ''I'm flying,'' captures just how crazy gaining authority can make women feel.
