they keep bragging about movies when britney has done one
they have deluded themselves into thinking single ladies was more successful than toxic and womanizer (i suggest everyone look at the worldwide chartings of all 3 of these songs and laugh)
they keep bragging about performances when britney's horrific 2007 vma performance alone is more remembered than any performance beyonce has ever done
they keep talking about respect when NOBODY WHO HAS WORKED WITH BRITNEY has ever badmouthed her and she is consistently cited as one of the sweetest and most professional people to work with
and once it was undeniable britney has had more media coverage and attention, it became a discussion of "only positive publicity"
and they act like it's absolutely impossible to legit believe britney has had a superior career in the same time period

I am going to try to answer you using an unbiased viewpoint.
Point #1: You do have a valid point.
Point #2: You have another valid point, but critical acclaim does not just come in the form of albums and it seems you don't realize that. From 2003 to now, Beyoncé has received a
substantial amount of critical acclaim for her studio albums, vocal talent, dancing skills, and performances. Britney hasn't nearly received as much acclaim during the time period.
Point #3: I haven't really researched the movies but to you and everyone else, including the Beyoncé stans,
most times, movies have nothing to do with an artists music career, so unless we're talking about Katy Perry, we really shouldn't be discussing them.
Point #4: Single Ladies is most definitely more iconic than Womanizer, and that is a fact. However, I can see why you would believe Toxic is more iconic than SL. On one had, the string melody in Toxic is absolutely unforgettable and is still used in various forms of media today. However, I think that SL might be a smidge more iconic than Toxic, SL was literally EVERYWHERE during 2008; from the constant media coverage to the parody by the President, SL was more than just a song, it was a MOVEMENT.
Point #5: A very valid point.
(4 era and a good amount of her singles)
