Beyonce about gender equality in relation- from "typical soccer mom" to a eupheships and one of her latest hit Sorry on her mism for fellatio. "Good hair" is more than it may originally sound like too. It

probably doesn't mean so much healthy roots and no split ends.

You recently dropped your album Lemonade which spoke about equality in relationships, including the hit Sorry. Â Tell me more about the song?

The song's lyrics revolve around the protagonist's cheating lover and her way of dealing with the adultery."Sorry" is an up-tempo electro pop track with a thumping and bleeping beat

Exclusive: Emma Watson

By Megan Bester This interview entails gender equalities and rights  for men and women and we have a more experienced speaker elaborating on this topic we are discussing today.

When did you realize that you had become a feminist?

(Fictional Interview)

Emma: When I was eight I questioned gender equality because I was called bossy since I wanted to direct the plays for our parents.

What is your take on social media today and age wise?

Emma: I think girls become sexualized at a very young age by media and surroundings; young men cannot express their feelings because it is seen as being weak or too feminine.

They work so hard to provide the life we live whether they are housewives or businesswomen, our women go and above and beyond just to make sure that everyone around them are okay.

Days such as woman’s day and mother’s day are there to remind us of what all the women in our lives have done for us and that we shouldn’t leave our thank you for just one day and yet we should celebrate them every single day. Have you ever seen your mother cry because
