so typically, IN ALL HONESTLY, i really really don’t care about any mainstream pop music—it’s just like, not my thing. 

this song/video is one of the most brilliant things i have ever seen, though. oh my god the fucking with conventional images of femininity that go on in this video. (my favorite is when beyonce is seductively dusting off her grammys—if this is not FEMINIST NARCISSISM i do not know what is) the images of failed femininity are brilliant too !

beyonce is fucking with the narrative of loneliness 

This is all very Important To Me for like a bajillion different reasons, but the primary reason being that it is helping me understand feminist narcissism so much better.  

Also these outfits!

Let us be reminded that “Why Don’t You Love Me” (esp: feminist crying is feminist un-makeupping) was the reason I started an archive of feminist makeupping.

give me all the outfits!

  16. dreamstates said: you should try to find the video of her talking about making this video! if I remember correctly it was all her idea. I’ve watched a couple interviews/making of videos & she can be totally inspiring at times.
