Beyonce- Run the World (LIES)

This video is not about Beyonce. It's not even really about this song. My point is NOT that she shouldn't have made this song because of X, Y, and Z.

My point IS: Oh, Look! X, Y, and Z exist and this song is a great tie-in to a discussion of feminism, a veritable Feminism 101.

You said this video wasn't about Bey, but you titled it Beyonce run the world (LIES). Obviously thats a LIE and you also said that your vid (ima call it b*tch'n) wasn't about the song. u LIED there again. My take on your vid is u wasted time & energy wit the b*tch'n u did in that rant of yours.Take that energy & actually do something about it. Bey's song was to empower women and here you are b*tch'n about it *rolls eyes* If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem.

Sometimes it's important to analyze and critically think about the media we consume.

Your comment tells me that you missed the point of this video.

Watch it again, ignore the quoted lyrics and the mentions of Beyonce.

You'll see the substance of the video and understand that I highlighted some very salient issues.

You'll also see how the video was not ABOUT, but instead USED Beyonce and her song as a lattice, a framework.

Nerd (noun): An intelligent, single-minded expert in a particular technical discipline or profession.

Also, *you're.

Additionally, I think a great deal of people care about the arguments I posed in this video. They're important.

[Lisa Weems]

Love your posts, especially the tiny tirades!

[thetrollking125]

my bad, a misspeling. it're better now.

[Nocturne22]

Umm, no. Try again.

[thetrollking125]

You outta lay low for a while before other feminists crucify you for your beliefs. It's only sexist when a man does it, right?

[Nocturne22]

Nobody said anything about not wanting anyone to express themselves. You're incredibly hypocritical for saying you just want to be able to disagree, but then shame another person for disagreeing. Criticism is not a suppression of free speech, but trying to stop criticism sure goes against free speech.

[Nocturne22]

The glass ceiling is real and still very much in place. In politics, the military, science, even video games.

Women certainly are oppressed in the west, it's too bad you choose to lie about it to yourself and to others. Live a day or more in a woman's shoes, and maybe you'd understand the things they have to deal with that you never have to even think about.

[Nocturne22]

Women aren't portrayed as physically superior, not even close. And morally - the vid just mentioned the virgin/whore theory, something men don't deal with at all. As for intelligence, explain to me why women make up such a small number of the science jobs like physics, engineering, and math?

Women's mags portray women positively - surprised? the media idolizes male behavior but marginalizes female behaviors though. Girls can be tomboys, but boys - it is the WORST thing ever to be a sissy!

[Nocturne22]

What studies? Your quotes sound ridiculous. You basically said only single moms raise kids nowadays, which obviously isn't true.

Criminals have numerous factors that contribute to their existence such as being poor, on drugs, mentally unstable. abuse, or any combination of those and more. Correlation =/= causation.

[Nocturne22]

No it has not been proven, and your 2050 claim is mathematically ridiculous - how do more women students erase male students? Magic?. The ratio of women in education is pretty much equal, yet women still get paid less, aren't hired in the same standards as men, and are still required to handle the majority of any domestic and childcare duties in addition to careers.

It's because of that that alimony is higher for men - fix the wage gap, and alimony can run equally both ways. EVERYONE wants that
