Beyoncé Covers 'Out' Magazine, Talks Sexual Liberation, & Double Standards!
Posted on 11:24 AM by Unknown
Beyonce snatches her first Magazine cover of 2014, landing firmly on the 'Power' issue of Out, May 2014.
The 32-year-old entertainer appears in a Marilyn Monroe-esque black and white spread for Out's May 2014 Power issue photographed by Santiago & Mauricio and styled by Lysa Cooper. Apart from looking unfathomably flawless, King Bey has some important things to say about sexual liberation and double standards in the music industry.
"I’d like to believe that my music opened up that conversation," she says when asked about creating her most sexually liberated album to date. "There is unbelievable power in ownership, and women should own their sexuality. There is a double standard when it comes to sexuality that still persists. Men are free and women are not. That is crazy. The old lessons of submissiveness and fragility made us victims. Women are so much more than that. You can be a businesswoman, a mother, an artist, and a feminist—whatever you want to be—and still be a sexual being. It’s not mutually exclusive."
"While I am definitely conscious of all the different types of people who listen to my music, I really set out to make the most personal, honest, and best album I could make," she told Out. "I needed to free myself from the pressures and expectations of what I thought I should say or be, and just speak from the heart. Being that I am a woman in a male-dominated society, the feminist mentality rang true to me and became a way to personalize that struggle."
