Beyoncé's Partition would be a great song if the lyrics weren't so cringeworthy. The Monica Lewinsky part...completely unnecessary
There are quite a few parts of the album that stand out as just a bit too extra, especially for somebody who is usually good at avoiding controversy.
Mocking her idol (and somebody who respected Bey very much) Tina Turner's horrific abuse with the "eat the cake Anna Mae" line comes to mind, as well as the Space Shuttle disaster in XO.
just because I stan Bruno, doesn't mean I am here for all his ********. I was always the first one to drag Gorilla and it's cringeworthy lyrics, although the instrumental slays.
It's a song that fantasizes consensual sex in the back of a limousine
Her fantasy
She is not being forced
She is not being objectified
She receives pleasure from the pleasure she gives to her partner
This is literally a woman being in control of her body and comfortable in her skin
It does not at all go against feminism
You don't see that because you don't want to
You have also proven that you don't actually understand what feminism is
Feminism does not say women can't get naked
Feminism does not say women can't get naked for a man
Feminism does not say that if a woman has sex with a man she should not be submissive
Feminism says that if a woman decides she wants to let her husband blow her back out in the car, then she can because it''s her choice
Also:
Of course it does because she's your fave and you hardly understand feminism as it is
& I'm glad you brought that up because Christina has explored similar themes in her music
Let's dissect a bit, shall we?
--
Can't Hold Us Down If you look back in history
It's a common double standard of society
The guy gets all the glory the more he can score
While the girl can do the same and yet you call her a *****
Still Dirrty Why is a woman's sexuality
Always under so much scrutiny?
Why can't she do exactly as she please
Without being called a million things?
Nasty Naughty Boy
You've been a bad bad boy
I'm gonna take my time, so enjoy
There's no need to feel no shame
Relax and sip upon my champagne
'Cause I wanna give you a little taste
Of the sugar below my waist, you nasty boy
These are three of the first that came to mind
This is your own fave literally knocking down your argument like a row of dominoes
Feminism is not automatically assuming that if a woman is being sexual for a man, she's being objectified. She's not presenting herself as an object. She's presenting herself as a horny woman who wants to have sexy with her husband. It's honestly not that complicated.
I doubt you'll take heed to anything I have to say, so I don't know why I'm wasting my time typing all of this, but the next time you decide to assume that Beyonce is objectifying herself (lol @ the very idea of that) simply because she's willingly being sexual for her man, you can turn to Christina Aguilera, book "Your Fave", chapter "Feminism," verse "Bitch, you tried it".
Not you saying Im the one who doesn't understand feminism
Like I said in my comments I don't think I woman being independent and sexual is a bad thing.
"Feminism does not say women can't get naked
Feminism does not say women can't get naked for a man"
And did I said that?
I wasn't just talking about Partition, you just assumed that because you're being extremely defensive. Im talking about Beyonce's music and videos overall, everything she sings about its men and how dependent she is on them. She sings about not being able to live if a guy doesn't want her, dressing hot to impress guys, doing whatever a guy wants to fulfill HIS fantasies, forgive men who treat her like ****, etc.
The only argument you have is "she can be naked if she wants blah blahhhh" but that's not even my complain, does she even have songs that are not about impressing, dumping or pleasing a guy? Everything is about men for her, and if its a song about sex its always about her being a toy that its only there to give him pleasure and nothing else.

Oprah, sistren, I like you a lot
but I'm gonna have to clock
Come on
Sit down...
Now, let's just get this Tina Turner mess out of the way first...
Number one, Bey didn't use this line (inb4 "wElL she sTill has itin the songT")
Number two, it's not mocking any horrific abuse because that never happened to her. It's a reference to a movie that has been done over time and time again in Black entertainment and while it may not be in the best taste, it's not something that Ms. Turner has ever been vocal about being offended by and it's certainly not the place of any of the White, uncultured twinks on this forum to try and use this as a drag against Bey when they probably had no idea what the line referenced prior to the manufactured now nonexistent controversy and probably thought Tina Turner was a rapper group from the mid 90s.
Now, as far as XO goes...
PLS
It's a six second audio clip from a newscast at the beginning of a song about holding onto love until it''s too late; until they turn the lights out
This is like the hundredth time I've had to recycle this same clock, it's quite exhausting
Do you have nay idea how many completely frivolous samples have been thrown into songs just to make is sounds better or for the artist to look ~deep
God forbid someone actually tastefully include something with relevance before a song
She'll be shunned
But if you wanna talk about trivial and distasteful references in music, we can
We can discuss Nicki's "Take bitches to school, then I Columbine these hoes"
We can discuss Led Zepplin using the Hindenburg accident in their imagery
We can discuss K-dolla and Juicy J references a mass murderer in pop songs
The list goes on
What would've been distasteful is her saying.
"Bwoy you got mah heart blowin up;
No Challenger"
But, she didn't
She instead chose a clip from a newscast that, at first listen, is completely ambiguous to put at the beginning of a song about loving like you're in your last moments
MissT me with the faux controversy for Bey
It's far too early
Oprah, sistren, I like you a lot

Am just saying there was controversy over both of those things, whether it was warranted or not. It is (or was) uncharacteristic of Bey to intentionally put herself in hot water like that. She usually avoided controversy at all costs.
I don't understand the stan mentality that you can't criticize your fave never, even if the person did something that warranted the critics. It won't make you a bad stan, believe me. I often drag my fave out of love.
