Beyoncé believes men are free, women are not

Beyoncé has said she hopes her latest album will provoke conversations about what she calls the "sexual double standard between men and women."

In a forthcoming interview with Out magazine, she says she hopes her self-titled new album, which was given a surprise release last December, has "opened up [a] conversation" about women as sexual beings, and not just victims.

In an email interview with Out for their May Power issue, Beyoncé wrote: "Men are free and women are not. The old lessons of submissiveness and fragility made us victims.

"[But] women are so much more than that. You can be a businesswoman, a mother, an artist, and a feminist - whatever you want to be - and still be a sexual being. It's not mutually exclusive."

Speaking about her latest album, she said: "I really set out to make the most personal, honest, and best album I could make, free from the pressures and expectations of what I thought I should say or be".

She added: "Being that I am a woman in a male-dominated society, the feminist mentality rang true to me and became a way to personalise that struggle.

"What I'm really referring to, and hoping for, is [overall] human rights and equality," she said. It's meant as a vision for anyone "who considers themselves an oppressed minority . . . to be just who we want to be and to love who we want to love".
