    Feminism to me used to mean equal pay for equal rights. Wanting respect‚ in a man’s industry‚ for doing as good if not better a job then some of the contractors I had worked with.

    Last year when Beyoncé released that snippet (that was called “Bow Down” at the time) of what is now a part of one of her self-titled album’s signature songs “***Flawless‚” it created a stir because she uses the word “bitch.” Even I myself thought about it then in more simplistic terms where it is “sexist” no matter what though I still rode so hard to that track‚ loved her airy background vocals that made me think of Amy Lee of Evanescence‚ loved that exquisite bass and vibe of authentic trap music
