In this age when young girls must struggle against being objectified as sex objects and must suffer the humiliation of not being taken seriously, the pop singer Beyonce has created a powerful positive message of female worth and empowerment.
Here is a work of art that treats women as serious equals of men and which values the feminine intellect and sensibility. Its images show young girls that it's not all about body image and exploiting feminine sexuality.
Beyonce also gives girls the positive message that they are the masters of their lives and can do anything they want.
As Beyonce says it best in the song:
"If you like it, you should've put a ring on it."
Powerful words for our young girls. Just remember: if you have a young impressionable daughter, she's seen this - probably endlessly.
