Women rule the world? A response to Beyonce

A fantastic reaction full of intelligence and conviction.

An excerpt from the YT description: It's a song. I get it. It's just a song. Continue Reading.

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.

If you've watched some of my other videos, you would be able to sense the sarcastic tone. Relax.

Annoying voice , don't like how she looks particualry. but what she is saying makes he quite attractive.


not that a video with a women has to be evaluated like that just something that came to mind.

LOL at the end of the video -

My first job was at a medium sized CPA firm with 20 accountants. I was the only woman accountant on staff.

My first day there was a staff meeting. I got there early. As we were waiting for the meeting to start, the accountant next to me asked, "How does it feel to be a minority?'

I looked at him in puzzlement and I honestly thought this, "How does he know my father is from Oklahoma?"

I had to ask him, since clearly that was an insanely weird first reaction. "What do you mean? How am I a minority?"

He blustered, "Well, you're a woman."

I laughed. "I'm not in the minority, women are 51% of the population."

"Women aren't a special interest" -- I love that!

Was he born in 1880?

Actually, no, he was a relatively young man. Early 30's maybe?

This was in 1976. The world was a much different place then.

My best friend and I got accountancy internships when we were sophomores in college -- these internships went to Seniors or maybe the occasional hot shot Junior. But we were women! They wanted to recruit us because we were so rare!

By the time I graduated two years later, women were 50% of the accounting students and being a woman carried no special advantage in terms of being hired.

There were few women doctors, few lawyers, no commercial pilots -- and few, if any, male nurses. (The gender limitations cut both ways, still do.)

There were poetesses and authoresses -- or "women poets" and "women authors". Now there are just poets and authors.

It has been a profound change in my lifetime. It is very pleasing.

Know what would make this video more enjoyable? A dick in her mouth to shut her up.

*rimshot*

I kid, I kid! But seriously, she brings up some good points. I believe in pure equality, so the fact that women are slowly but definitely equally men in pay is a step in the right direction. My fiancée makes more than I do now and more than I ever have in my life, and that doesn't threaten me or make me feel anything other than happy for her. Magically I still have my balls and my manhood. Amazing, huh?

Though, she probably gets paid less than a man would in her same job. But the fact that she's running shit in her department at a pretty big agency is great. Upvote for pure equality!
