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.
