More of the Same?

Hello kiddies - Baby Bear is back after a long hiatus. However, I could not stay silent forever you know. So today I am here to talk about Beyonce. Oh yes, that vixen songstress who is undoubtedly getting many scores of young ladies in trouble with her "Irreplaceable" song. Let's delve in, shall we?

So as many of you know the song is about her breaking up with a guy that's been cheating on her. And she's throwing him out. So the lyrics of this song are what she is saying to him as she's putting him out and calling a cab. Now, first off, she talks about how she had bought him a car and he was driving around town in this car she purchased for him. By my guess, it doesn't sound like she had been with him for very long in the first place, yet she bought the cheating asshole a car. Now I have always told women that I know that you know straight off the bat if a guy is a slime. You choose YOURSELF whether to go with your gut instinct or to ignore it. Obviously in this scenario, not only did she ignore it, but chose to buy him a car thinking that would get him to love her more. Uh, no. Sorry. He just uses the free car to shuttle around his flings. This is not good for young girls to be listening to. It's bad enough for them to see the video images of Beyonce scantily clad dancing pretending to be a strong woman - what strong women do you know that walk around with their tits and ass hanging out all over the place?

Now the real beef I have with this song is when she states that she can replace this guy "in a minute". And in fact, he's on his way over to see her as she's putting the cheating boyfriend out. OK. Now, if she's putting this idiot out after what seems like a short while, she goes and replaces him with another guy that OBVIOUSLY she hasn't known that long!! So what is she doing? Replacing one asshole with another one? Showing that she can't spend time alone because GOD FORBID a woman be without a man for a while and work on getting herself together and realise that she needs to take time to meet a nice, decent guy. Or at least don't patrol the bars and clubs looking for Mr. Right. Again, young women are getting the message that guys (as well as women) are interchangeable, all you need is a warm body hanging off your arm and everything will be OK.

Ladies, let me tell you something: There is no woman in the HISTORY of women that likes men more than I do. I swear to God, men consume almost every one of my thoughts. And there's nothing wrong with that. But you have to understand one thing: men are incredibly STUPID. I'm not saying that to be mean or hurtful, but to lower yourself to their base level in order to get them is even more stupid. To tell a man that you can replace him in a minute is saying that you are a piece of ass and will offer it up to the next Neanderthal that comes down the pike. To not make a man appreciate the VALUE you offer other than your body is stupid. Thus, this song is just dumbing down our young women. We women are supposed to kick a man in the butt to get him to do something other than grunt, scratch, fight and fuck. We are supposed to be put together ourselves because, after all, we are mothers and have to teach the young how to act and survive in society. I can't imagine the mothers of these asshole men are proud of what they have become. So I realise that though I love these hairy bastards that are strong, smell good, muscle ripped, not-so-soft and pretty, I have to be SMARTER than them. And it's really not that hard. Just think above the base level and you'll be more than fine.

So ultimately what this song seems to fail to understand is that she may be putting out the loser boyfriend and she's all empowered for the moment, but she will be singing the same tune again because it doesn't seem like she knows how to find a good man. And that's why women seem to be so unhappy with men a lot these days - they don't know how to break out of their own vicious cycles.
