New Beyonce song sexist?

It's literally a feminist propaganda piece embedded in the middle of a song.

Just to address one thing from the song:

But why do we teach girls to aspire to marriage And we don't teach boys the same?

The thing is, boys are taught to aspire to marriage; it's just that the goal is different. Boys are taught/pressured to "man up" and become a successful breadwinner for their future family.

The goal of marriage for girls used to be to obtain a provider; now it is to find a subsidizer.

What do I mean? Most women want lifestyle options. They want the choice to do paid work as much (or as less) as they want to, to have the work/private life balance of their preference. These options can only exist if they are subsidized, with someone there to pay the bills if/when the woman exercises her option to work less than full-time.

I think one the most successful big lies of feminism was to frame a woman exercising her options as a victim "sacrificing her career" (as if her ideal preference was really full-time work forever) rather than acknowledging that women who have these subsidized options have the broadest range of lifestyle choices possible.

The stupid thing is that instead being happy (or grateful) at how lucky they are, many are instead resentful, living inside a feminist-inspired eternal victim mindset which won't let them acknowledge when they have it good—no matter how good they have it.

Victim-power works for these women in terms of them getting what they demand (and so they don't want to give up the status of victim), but it comes at the cost of true happiness.

It's not sexist, it's a chick talking sh*t to other chicks like rappers do all the time. She's not a real feminists, I think she just want some cred for being a thinker rather than just another pretty face. Sadly her writing on the Maria Shriver report didn't do much to correct that perception. The lyrical quality of her album did a much better job of that.
