Thank you Annie Lennox

I love Annie Lennox. One of my favorite songs (and the music video for it) is No More I Love You's.

Yes I'm so happy that she said it. Beyonce and Nicki M. Should never use the term Feminist when describing their ideals and endeavors. I feel like if you are shaking, popping and thrusting for money in this industry.. you are not a feminist. You have no control over your body or your sexuality because you are doing it for money. I don't understand how taking control of your sexuality means pussy popping and grinding on Drakes lap. I think it just pushes women further and further away from what feminist are trying to accomplish. You gonna gyrate and spread your legs in front of your daughter. -nothing feminist about that. You don't give a damn about other females when you tell them to bow down. You don't give a damn about other females when you let your crazy stans (male and female) go on EVERY social media outlets and let them tear people down. You don't use your influence over them for anything positive. I'm tired of these females doing this stuff and getting praised and being called icons and feminist when in reality ..you doing all this stuff to make sure all those checks keep rolling in. It really irritates me that they get to use feminism as another costume.

That is crazy, I can't believe there are people out there who are so blind to what is going on here. I still think Bey is paying people to praise her mediocrity and create hype because I refuse to believe anyone really thinks what she does is great.

COSIGN and applause to all of the above comments!!!
I don't know much about Annie Lennox.
The only song I know from her is

and I always LOVED it, will have to check her out. Thanks

I've always been an Annie Lennox fan. I'm glad she said this publicly and I'm glad some people can see through her BS.

Beyonce isn't fooling anyone but her stans and some Black feminists who are desperate for representation. Well I'm not that desperate for Beyonce to be the face of Black feminism. I believe she uses feminism for a few reasons. One is publicity. She sees it gets people talking about her. She first hesitatingly called herself a feminist in Shape magazine and people had a big reaction to it, so you know she liked that. Then she put Chimamanda Ngozi Adichi's feminist TEDtalk in her song, and the blogs really went crazy. Finally she did the VMA stunt with "feminist' on the backdrop, and it seemed people talked about that more than performance because I heard it was boring. Funny how she went from hesitating to call a herself feminist to having it in big bold letters behind her in less than a year of proclaiming herself one. Such a fake. I've been studying about feminism since I was 16, and she makes those of us who truly care seem like a joke now. She's makes it seem trendy. She makes me not want to call myself a feminist anymore.

Well let's see what her next feminist stunt will be. You know it's coming. It probably won't involve actually helping OTHER WOMEN and getting involved in feminist issues. No, it would just be something to give her more publicity. I also believe that she uses feminism as a cape so she can be as overtly sexual and bust it wide open all she wants, and as long as she screams "feminist!" it'll make anyone who criticizes her for doing nothing but selling sex look a bully. Beyhive is trying to make Annie look like a bully but she's speaking the truth.

Oh you're talking about the lady from 4 non blondes. I can't think of her name but she used to write for Pink and Christina Aguilera.
