rosie the riveter stood as a feminist empowering women figure many years ago, and it seems as though society has packed her up and put her up with the christmas decorations in the attic. In 2016, someone unpacked her and let her take the face of multiple women this year and had brought back women empowerment and expressing sexuality. Beyoncé, one of these empowering women, released one of the best albums of 2016, and it was about loving yourself as well as loving an unfaithful man. So many women are quick to leave a cheating man, and personally I feel like they have every right to. However, Beyoncé took back her cheating husband in the most feminist, female empowering ways ever. In the album, it almost sounds like she took him back, but under her conditions. We all know, Beyoncé does NOT need Jay-Z, but quite frankly, I think he needs her. She acknowledges this and makes half an album about it. Hold Up was expressing how good she was to him, and reminding him that she can move on and still be Beyonce, but will Jay Z be jay without Bey? She also reminds him of how good he’s got it, and he’s got the baddest woman in the game up in his sheets. The song that was the best that completely embraced her femininity, was Sorry. The whole thing is showing how a woman can be strong and unapologetic without a man. Women need to learn this. I’ve seen so many women sit back and take all types of shit from their man because they feel like they won’t be anything without them. Bullshit girl. Go be your own woman. You were born without a man and were raised not being dependent on a man sexually, so what makes you think you need one now? Another woman who I think is the dominant in her relationship is Nicki Minaj with Meek Mill. Her net worth is 80+ million, his is 2+ million. Money isn’t everything, but one this it does represent is powet, and in that relationship if money is power, Minaj sure has the longer stick. These were two, short, very brief examples of women being strong, independent women in 2016, and we need to make this a resolution to carry this over into 2017.
