[@Fantisma7]

If you’ve watched her documentary you’d know that Beyonce never tried to send that message with that last clip. The reason she put that last clip is because it taught her one of her first important lessons of life which is that no matter how hard you work for something you can still lose.

We teach girls to shrink themselves to make themselves smaller. We say to girls, ‘You can have ambition but not too much. You should aim to be successful but not too successful otherwise you will threaten the man.’ Because I am female I am expected to aspire to marriage. I am expected to make my life choices always keeping in mind that marriage is the most important. A marriage can be a source of joy and love and mutual support, but why do we teach girls to aspire to marriage and we don’t teach boys the same? We raise girls to see each other as competitors, not for jobs or for accomplishments, which I think can be a good thing, but for the attention of men. We teach girls that they can not be sexual beings in the way that boys are. Feminist: A person who believes in the social, political and economic equality of the sexes.

[@esenakyapi1499]

Caitlin Amelia Because if you don't clarify "equal RIGHTS and opportunities", nutcases say women are the weaker sex, when it goes unchallenged, girls grow up internalizing it, raising their daughters thus, another spin in the cycle. Get this: I worked in an Oil&Gas corporation. Saudi Aramco was a client then. They had a prayer room for arab muslims. Implied here is muslim men. How do I know? The sign on the door said "Dear brothers [take your shoes off etc]". I went there to meditate because I could. I'm a chick so they can't come in the room until I'm done. and because of their hiring practices, I'm the only female "muslim" who was interested in using the room for meditation. They had a dozen or so books on a shelf. I pulled one out at random and turned an arbitrary page. I kid you not, this is what it said: "We [muslims] believe that men and women are spiritually equal, and women's role is at home." Well ain't that great for me to be your spiritual equal because if you muslim men are wrong you're not fucked, I'M FUCKED! Out of education, pursuit of any kind of talent, ambition..

Caitlin Amelia I wonder if it should be called Feminism if it states we are equal. The name focuses on women ("fem"). Is there a term that means that men and women are equal that doesn't have gender-specific word parts?

Ok I see a lot of stupid comments and I'm just gonna clear up a couple of things. Feminist: A person who believes in social, political and economic equality of the sexes. Please be reminded. Its EQUALITY OF THE SEXES. Feminism isn't about hating on men. Its isn't about women getting everything and enslaving men. NO. Its about stopping the double standards between men and women and allowing both men and women being equal. When she said "bow down bitches" she didn't ask men to bow down. She sang that part for her stupid haters who constantly waste time hating and dissing on her.

[@chiefsoulc8405]

They are either extremelly stupid or just trolling., or they don't like the idea of women speaking up. Otherwise, why would they be upset at Beyoncé for singing a song that includes that speech? Maybe their ego it's just too fragile and they're extremelly insecure idiots.

[@gisellefendi5793]

"I know when you were little girls you dreampt of being in my world. Don't you forget it. Respect that. BOW DOWN BITCHES!" Damn... I was reminiscing for a min, until the bow down part... Had to clutch my pearls. That sh#t hurt my feelings for real. Lol.

[@pelly1020]

lol

[@alicesmithy6391]

"bow down bitches" = fuck you to all the people hating on me (bey) = not letting anyone put her down or get in the way of what she wants = a fucking good trait/mind set to have also, FEMINISM = EQUALITY OF BOTH SEXES = MEN & WOMEN = EVERYONE SHOULD BE A FEMINIST = end of story. the fact that people have to have this explained to them is fucking scary jeezzzuuzzz!

[@cdbic]

Well, I'm a guy and I do believe in feminism, but you cannot have equality in ALL things so please stop saying that. I get that there may be more guys CEO than girls and this can/should/would be changed but there are also more guys working in constructions, in waste disposal, in mines and things like that. Don't women want equality there also?

[@alicesmithy6391]

Claudiu B many women are in those trades and many wish to join them but get put off because of stereotypical slurs and insults which is wrong and its the same other way around so what if a guy wants to be a hair dresser that doesn't automatically make him gay

[@Night-Shade.]

Modern feminism is bull shit though. It's not about equality anymore. I see double standards everywhere for men and women. I'm a feminist, but I don't support today's feminism. People should learn the actual meaning of the word and what it stands for.

[@dannyhad]

You see.. This song speaks to US, we who have outworked everyone else and are at the top of our game. We constantly experience jealousy, haters, backstabbers, people we do everything for go out of their way to tear us down because it makes them feel better to see us fail. Because they wish they were us and know they never will be on our level. It kills them to see us win. The people who got mad about this song are THOSE jealous ones because they can't relate to what it's like to be a successful, hard-working, flawless BOSS A** B****!

I have chosen this song for our class playlist to demonstrate how females throughout the music industry have utilized their voices to empower other women. Researching how female artists have impacted and redefined music through feminist action and empowerment, Beyonce's song '***Flawless' is the perfect example. Included in this work is the speech "We Should All Be Feminists" by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie surrounding the narratives in Africa (1:26 - 2:21). Her words are spoken with power, discussing the sexism and harassment girls of her culture face. Furthermore, she encourages other females to be strong, independent, and proud of who they are and what they can accomplish. The popularity of this piece has communicated how strong the messages behind Beyonce's music are. In fact, over twelve thousand people have verbally expressed how empowered Beyonce makes them feel, and I couldn't agree more.

[@joannavelikov279]

This song helped me motivate myself when I had to go to my real dull job in a pizza place when I was at my second year at uni. I had to put food on the table and GOD DAMN IT I DID. I graduated with honours and I got a good job that pays well - thank you Bey!

Yes, she has A LOT of young fans, and those are the ones that watch her videos on KZbin.
