Not only that but she assumes 'strong and brave' are masculine traits and that 'sensitivity and kindness' are feminine traits. She wants to raise her assigned-son to satisfy the social construct of what a 'woman' wants in a man and conform him to the social norms of that sphere. Beyonce also says men are unanimously lacking assumed-feminine traits because mothers universally fail to teach it to them. By this Beyonce assumes 'mothers' automatically have knowledge of feminine traits and assumes it is their responsibility to 'teach' assign them these traits.
Beyonce also assumes a man should have both masculine and feminine traits. Beyonce wants her assigned-son to 'reach his full potential as a man' and to 'affirm his own existence'. This is contrary to popular left-leaning politics/belief that men's existence is over-affirmed and women need to reach their full potential first. Not only is she assigning her 'son' his gender but she is promising to make sure he is most extreme in that gender.
Beyonce also assumes the gender of her 'two girls'. Beyonce assumes her assigned-daughters would want to see themselves on runways, which is stereotypically a female-dominated field. Beyonce assumes that without her guidance her assigned-daughters would fail to see themselves as bosses. This assumes two things; Beyonce believes women are not CEOs and Beyonce believes her assigned-daughters will grow up to be women.
Beyonce's wish for her assigned-daughters sharply contrasts that for her assigned-son. She wants her assigned-daughters to achieve in the world, writing in a tone that assumes women are naturally under achievers, but she wants her assigned-son to become a man with more assigned-feminine traits than masculine.

As the mother of two girls, it’s important to me that they see themselves too—in books, films, and on runways. It’s important to me that they see themselves as CEOs, as bosses, and that they know they can write the script for their own lives—that they can speak their minds and they have no ceiling. They don’t have to be a certain type or fit into a specific category. They don’t have to be politically correct, as long as they’re authentic, respectful, compassionate, and empathetic. They can explore any religion, fall in love with any race, and love who they want to love.
I want the same things for my son. I want him to know that he can be strong and brave but that he can also be sensitive and kind. I want my son to have a high emotional IQ where he is free to be caring, truthful, and honest. It’s everything a woman wants in a man, and yet we don’t teach it to our boys.
I hope to teach my son not to fall victim to what the internet says he should be or how he should love. I want to create better >representations for him so he is allowed to reach his full potential as a man, and to teach him that the real magic he possesses in >the world is the power to affirm his own existence.
Beyonce also thinks world history, MLK Jr, WW1, WW2, the Trojan War, the Spanish Inquisition, the Silk Road, the Korean split, Beethoven, the Vedas, Italian cuisine, Alexander the great, Katrina, tectonic shifts, Tesla and Isaac Newton, the olympics, and Obama
all occurred by design for one destined, fated, culminating event; her concert in Berlin June 28th 2018.
One of the most memorable moments for me on the On the Run II tour was the Berlin show at Olympiastadion, the site of the 1936 Olympics. This is a site that was used to promote the rhetoric of hate, racism, and divisiveness, and it is the place where Jesse Owens won four gold medals, destroying the myth of white supremacy. Less than 90 years later, two black people performed there to a packed, sold-out stadium.
on her Coachella performances: It was a celebration of all the people who sacrificed more than we could ever imagine, who moved the world forward so that it could welcome a woman of color to headline such a festival.
What do they see in her that affirms their ideologies? Is this a blatant example of how the left despise logic and stick to what feels right? It's definitely ironic and hilarious considering she calls herself a feminist and 'pro equality for all' every chance she gets.
