Girls don't run the world! and I am totally fine with that!

I have an issue with Beyonce's songs. From Independent Women to Run the World (Girls) she is all about how cool and powerful and better than men women are. Yes, i like their beat, I like to listen to them in clubs, yes I scream (literally scream) each word of the song with "ma girls" but I still think they are total crap. And no, I am not talking about the obvious stupid lyrics like these for example:
Don't come here baby
Hope you still like me
If you hate me!

I am speaking about the whole idea behind this kind of songs. What do we actually want to prove? What are we actually screaming from the top of our lungs? Our frustration, that's what! That is the only thing that clearly shouts from these songs and in general from the mouths of these very vocal feminists in our beloved Western world. We've come a long way, I will be honest with you, things weren't as chirpy always, but at this point I think it doesn't make us proud anymore.

Do you hear men singing and shouting how their "persuasion rules the world" or how they can buy their own watches and rings? NO! Why? because they are too busy actually doing that! Yes, they do sing about how good they are in bed and what cars they have but that also screams frustration and we all know what that actually means (HINT: SMALL). A normal world is a world in which women buy the watch they are wearing and the car they are driving (Thanks again Beyonce for material here :P) and don't make a big deal out of it! It just kills the whole idea if you do! With these songs and thoughts we only perpetuate the idea that we are not equal, we get stuck in this stereotype!
What I mean to say is that actually people who are happy and successful would never go out shouting how good they are an how powerful they are because they have nothing more to prove! Because their actions speak for themselves...and say pretty much all!
And now to say the real truth, it seems ridiculous for us to sing or proclaim that we rule the world when we OBVIOUSLY DON'T! The most powerful political figures are not women, the biggest CEOs aren;t either, hell...not even the greatest chefs are! And now the question comes: do I mind? NO! Not at all, because I associate myself with my family and friends and not with the entire female population! Why would I? Do I know them all? Do I like them all? Do I think they're all like me? No, no and NO! People create problems when they got too much time on their hands ( I know I do! ). For example, why is it so important to have a female president? Does it guarantee anything? No! There are as many bad characters amongst women as are amongst men! And don;t come to me with that "if there would be women presidents there will be no more wars" bullshit! Did you ever see a cat fight? Rest my case. Also, let's stop blaming discrimination just to explain a failure! Segolene Royal didn't win against Sarkozy because she went mental during the presidential debate, not because she is a woman!

And to rest my case, a last argument that really says it all! Yes, there are still men out there that think less of women, yes there are men out there that will tell you that your place is in the kitchen and all that crap that gets women sooo annoyed! BUT do we really have to take these things personally? I mean...is it my fault you are a stupid ass that doesn;t know better than that? Should I feel offended for all the stupid out there? They should, not me! And also, let's be honest, if you do feel offended it means you have some issues there you need to work on! It's like my mother once told me, don;t get upset for people calling you something you most definitely are not. If someone would call you a ladder, would you cry? No, because you know you are not one! It's the same thing in this case, if you ask me.

All in all, what I meant to say in so many or so little words is the fact that by taking sides like that, and by differentiating us from men in this sense we only hurt the goal we want to achieve. We deepen the barrier created between men and women rather than making an end to it. Be successful rather than shout about it! Be the best you can be and that is enough, you don't need to make a religion out of it!! ...and if you really want to demonstrate against something, please believe me there are many things in the world that are unfair.

I will stop here so that I don;t start with the whole we are not men or women we are all human and all different in our own special way crap which makes me sick but has a truth in it! Ona a different note now, imagine life run by girls (meaning let;'s say 12-21 year olds) ....maannn....I wouldn;t like to live on that planet!!!

Suck on that Beyonceeeee! (seriously now, I think she is pretty cool: she is beautiful, she is successful and has great legs :P)
