"Why Don't You Love Me" - Beyoncé from Beyoncé on Vimeo.

Conforms to damaging sexual norms/feminist critique of the most common ways women try to please men and their inherent fail? Discuss.

I know! I learn toward the latter but the relentless sexualization of the singer makes me question it.

Black women aren't allowed to exist in pop without constant sexualization.

Silly me, treating black women as fully-rounded human beings.

Oh, pop music.

Frankly, though, is ANY woman allowed to exist in music without constant sexualization? I mean, MAYBE in country...

Considerably less so, at least, in country. It is a problem with all women in music, especially pop and rap, but it's far more concentrated on black women.
