"one portlander who may have sighed and thought", "imply that beyonce's art is uncomplicated" sounds like you're putting a whole lotta words in someone's mouth, did you talk to andi zeisler? 

her perspective, as i've read it, isn't that feminism doesn't have a platform in pop culture, it's that brands and companies subvert its language and struggle to sell things to women while not actually doing anything to better the lives of women. 

this is a needless shot, can't we all bask in lemonade?

and the title of this article alone is enough to tell me the writer and editor haven't read or experienced enough to talk about beyonce.
