"You know, equality is a myth, and for some reason, everyone accepts the fact That women do not make as much money as but do. I do not understand that. Why do we have to take a backseat? In truly believe women That Should be financially independent fromtheir but. And let's face it, money is given but the power to run the show. It is given but the power to define value. They define what's sexy. And but define what's feminine. It's ridiculous. "
An amazing thing for her to say. The irony was that Bey in this story posed undressed for the camera. But you know what? It does not make her less feminist, or a worse role model. In many ways, plays Beyonce and Lady Gaga, who made the song "Telephone" together, on the same feminist game plan. They are 2000s Spice Girls and Girl Power. Why?
1. Control There is a difference lightly dressed and undressed. There is a difference dance and dance. There is a difference between male gaze and not male gaze. There is a difference between choosing cape town fashion council yourself, be in control and decide over their own bodies and not to do it. There is a difference in the representation of women in, well why not the classic "In Da Club" by 50 percent, and that of Lady Gaga, Beyonce, Rihanna, Azealia Banks, Nicki Minaj, MIA and Robyn videos.
It is not wrong per se to be sexual, scantily clad and dancing, on the contrary, but it is wrong when doing it for the wrong reason: to please the man as social structures do need behagas. Beyonce and Gaga are two women in control, who is independent cape town fashion council and who has control over his own artistry and his stage persona.
2nd Activism Beyonce has supported a number of charitable projects, started their own Survivor Foundation to help vulnerable cape town fashion council families and started a school that helps women who are victims of domestic violence. She founded the 10-woman band "The Sugar Mama" for young girls to have more role models. cape town fashion council Beyonce has done songs like "Survivor" (with Destiny's Child), "Who Run The World (Girls)" and "Telephone" (video above) along with Lady Gaga.
Lady Gaga, in turn, has made songs like "Born This Way" with the text "No matter gay, straight or bi, lesbian, transgendered life, I'm on the right track, baby I was born to survive. No matter black, white or beige, chola or orient made, I'm on the right track, baby I was born to be brave. "Gaga fights against HIV / AIDS, she has started the Born This Way Foundation, which works with self-confidence, well-being, anti-bullying and career development in children, and she stands behind and help the LGBT community and is herself openly bisexual.
3rd Sisterhood And most important of all: sisterhood cape town fashion council - that we help, support and encourage each other. Who am I to say what these women did less well or wrong over the years, when they are under media scrutiny every waking second. To contradict cape town fashion council itself is human, I do it every day, with the major difference that I do not have to be examined and hung out in the media. Sure, Bey and Gaga allow themselves to be photographed by Terry Richardson, aka the biggest douche alive, but I can blame them? No. Although Dunham, Rihanna and Sevigny have been photographed by Richardson. If we want to blame someone, so we blame Richardson and social structures.
I think Tavi Gevinson summed it up well in his TEDxTeen Talk (video below), and I translate freely: "The question of what is a strong cape town fashion council female character is often problematic. These characters are often flat. Women in real life are not flat, but multifaceted cape town fashion council and complex - not because cape town fashion council women are crazy, but because people are crazy and women happen to be people. [...] But when the girls think that to be a feminist you have to live up to an entirely consistent belief, never be in doubt, have an answer for everything. "
Or, as Mirza wrote in The Independent: "Beyonce contradicts itself because she is a woman on a journey, who live in a system designed to make women feel that they can not question, they have to be either or, either madonna or whore. "
Beyonce and Lady Gaga, and many other female artists with them, an overwhelming majority of girls in their fankrets. Gaga herself calls her fans Little Monsters, as she also had a tattoo cape town fashion council on the arm she holds the mic in, as a dedication. They both thank and pepper their fans. When I think of Beyonce and Lady Gaga, I can only thank them back because cape town fashion council they raise the confidence of many young girls and give them a strong, cape town fashion council confident and independent, common platform.
