STOP SLUT SHAMING!!
Yall can call it slut shaming, slut hating, slut bashing... I dont care lol

I think she acts like a slut on stage and in her videos and I think she purposely capitalizes off of it.

Side Note: I am not calling HER a slut specifically (because I do not know her personally) but yes she does act like that on stage and in her music videos.

I think that is all she obviously wants to be seen as: "sex symbol" and that is fine I just wish she would present that in a more creative way.

Any descent person with self- respect would not display their ass like that in a video or pose half naked in their video just for a quick buck. You can still sell sexuality without doing that and even if you are I just think it should be at least more artistic.

For instance, Madonna did the same thing in the 90s but it was artistic and creative. It told a story and had a overall message.


I don't see anything wrong selling sexuality but as long as it is done in a creative and artistic way.



With Beyonce, its the same old sex kitten act but its not done in a creative or artistic way. It does not tell a story or has deeper meaning behind it.

She is suppose to be an artist. She is a singer and even if she wanted to sell sex in all her music I think it should have some artistic merit behind it.

Not just her laying half naked on the floor singing "I want to be the kinda girl you like" in every single video.

Because to me what that shows is, she is simply capitalizing off a easy money making market (the sex market) in order to compensate for her bland music.


Paritian is not about sexual empowerment. I am tired of people making her silly songs deeper than what they are.

Are Rihanna sexual songs empowerment as well?

How about Miley's?

Because I am tired of this double standard with Beyonce.

I think the meaning in the song is a negative message especially for young girls and young women. It teaches girls that you have to be submissive to men and that "you should be the kinda girl they like" Really Beyonce? That is all you want to be? I just personally feel like that sends a bad message to this generation especially the females that listen to this crap and think that is what they should be.

I especially take that personally since I am apart of this generation

Young women think they should show their ass and be the kinda woman MEN want them to be in order to be valued because of silly corporate songs like this not realizing these singers do not give a damn about them and just care about money.


ONCE AGAIN, Janelle Monae is a better role model and overall better artist.

It is a shame how in order to be successful as a pop female singer you have to show your ass and sell your soul. I am glad that there are some with dignity and self-respect.
