Beyoncé’s Man-Hating Singles: A Male Perspective
If Beyoncé even thinks you’re cheating on her, she’ll cut you off.
There’s no disputing that Beyoncé is the baddest chick in the game (at least until she hits 30 and starts looking like an opera singer). While stunning beauty will make us overlook a lot of things, we can’t ignore the fact that B, whose new album I Am…Sasha Fierce is out now, is pushing an agenda of man hate disguised as female empowerment.
Ever since she was pretending not to be a solo act in Destiny’s Child, she’s been making it acceptable for women to dog men in public. Equal rights activists that we are, Complex won’t stand for it, so we’re calling out her for her five most man-hating singles. Man up, grab your nuts and check out the hate…
“Bills, Bills, Bills,” 1999
Male Perspective: So, if we’re struggling financially and need a woman to contribute, we’re a scrub? We thought the P was free, but apparently money can buy us love, which is why we go to hookers. At least they don’t want to cuddle.
“Bug-A-Boo,” 1999
Male Perspective: You say stalking, we say courtship. And then you nag us because we don’t pay enough attention to you.
“Irreplaceable,” 2006
Male Perspective: We cheat one time and we’re out on our ass, replaced by the next man? Men are like machine parts? This makes us pine for the days when we were objectified as pieces of meat.
“If I Were A Boy,” 2008
Male Perspective: How dare B put our “my phone’s broken” side-piece tactic on blast? Men have a basic biological need to spread the seed! And anyway, ignorance is bliss. That’s what our mom always told us before throwing back bourbons at breakfast.
“Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It),” 2008
Male Perspective: We’re in the midst of the worst recession in our lifetime and yet we don’t really love you unless we go broke buying you an engagement ring with a big-ass bloody conflict diamond? Really?! Hope that rock is tasty cause there’s no food on the milk crate in our cardboard box.

Men hate on Beyonce, but they secretly love her. Let’s be real!

Its about time Men called out this Miserable Man-Hating Siren. Hugely annoying, most men watch her w/ the volume off and only long enough to catch a nice bodyshot. Outside of that she disgusts most BM w/ the abusive things that fly out of her mouth. But this is nothing new. Most BW nowadays are Misandrist and now men have caught on and its starting to hit the mainstream media. Thanks COMPLEX! BM have been victims of this type of trash Talk to long. Fortunately, BW are now looking to destroy the lives/nuclear family of men who don’t know any better. Good Riddance!
BM are finally free. Black Women and their United Hate Movement against the Black Community will finally start getting the attention it deserves. BM should avoid Marriage/Children Sharing of Finances/Residences with BW in this current biased Legal Environment whereby men have no rights to their children and where BW degrade us constantly and no one CALLS them on it.
When BW turned their back on the Civil Rights Movement to instead take the Bribes offered by Social Programs they played themselves. Today those repercussions are finally coming to ahead. Too long have BM slept w/ the enemy who so obviously puts us down VERY PUBLICLY every chance they get. The same ones who have been putting down our Fathers for YEARS cleverly IGNORING the fact that BW/W were being AUTOMATICALLY given our kids exclusively for DECADES. BM, I stay United w/ my Brothers. Never shall we allow ourselves to be conned by those sharing our skin color but none of our Blackness!

Craig what’s your problem? You seem to have an issue with Black women which I find disturbing. Quit hating your own women, bro and stop generalising. This was a tongue in cheek article, relax. There are plenty of good Black women out there. Women will be women, regardless of their skin colour.

Craig, chill out homey.. this article was a comedic observation of beyonce’s singles… I think the real victim here is the young ladies who look up to her. I went to see cadillac records and lost all respect for beyonce man.
I literally saw girls bored out of there minds until beyonce showed up on screen, one chick sat up and put her fist under her chin with eyes wide open once beyonce popped up. But she ended up letting this white dude slap her ass, steal her house and use her for sex. Wow!
Not to mention how much she was cussing and acting very common, well, I expected this from the same person who’s entire video includes her in some ass cheek exposers shaking her ass.

Uh….Cadillac Records is rated “R”, so a young girl shouldn’t have set foot in there in the first place. and also your lost respect should be from the woman that actually experienced that tradegy - Etta James. Maybe Beyoncé shouldn’t have opted for a role that vulgar knowing full well young girls look up to her, but if it fills up your acting credits. Besides, songs are songs. Beyoncé has, to our knowledge, only been with Jay-Z. Maybe her inspiration for the songs come from the headlines that “plague” our world everyday about abused women. Do any other “BM”’s have anything to say about it, because you all just turned a humerous post into some documentary.
