Beyoncé explains life, fame and feminism in new short film To commemorate the release of her self-titled surprise visual album last year, Beyoncé has produced an arty black-and-white short film called “Yours and Mine,” full of her thoughts on life, love, fame and…feminism! The star gives voiceover to spliced clips from several of the videos on “BEYONCÉ,” elaborating on what being a feminist means to her over images from “***Flawless” — the song that famously sampled Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s talk, “We Should All Be Feminists.” Beyoncé explains her reticence to identify publicly as a feminist, which she eventually overcame: I always considered myself a feminist, although I was always afraid of that word because people put so much on it, when, honestly, it’s very simple — it’s just a person that believes in equality for men and women. Men and women balance each other out, and we have to get to a point where we are comfortable with appreciating each other. I have a lot of empathy for men, and the pressures that they go through, and the cultures that have been created — especially for African-American men. I have the same empathy for women, and the pressures we go through.” #feminism #beyonce #weshouldallbefeminists
