Her third solo album, I Am… Sasha Fierce, was released in November 2008, and in 2009 she received 10 Grammy Awards nominations.

Say, "Hey, Ms. Carter!" (Hey, Ms. Carter!)

Every boy in here with me got that smoke

Hello!
The lyrics to Beyoncé’s song “Partition” are provocative and suggestive, addressing themes of sex, power, and pleasure. The opening lines are a playful nod to her alter ego, “Ms. Carter,” and set the tone for the rest of the song. Beyoncé goes on to describe her confidence, surrounded by dozens of girls in the club, with "diamond fangs in her grill" and a killer outfit that catches every boy's attention. She is the center of attention, but she doesn't care what anyone thinks of her because she performs solely for her lover.
The next verse continues with a more explicit description of her sexual desires, as she drops the bass in the song and the speed of the music slows down. She sings about her unique assets that keep people talking and how she uses his desire for her to her advantage. The chorus and bridge are more melodic and romantic, with Beyoncé declaring her willingness to give herself up entirely to the man she loves. The bridge is spoken in French, where she discusses the act of sex and how feminists adore it. She ends the song with the repetition of the chorus, affirming her desire to be the kind of girl her lover likes.

@jessicaras4540
adultery starts with thoughts and looks, that's how it starts, with your eyes then thoughts and then action… that's why you shouldn't think and lust after a woman/man in the first place and also avoid watching anything sexual. Once you start thinking it’s going to be harder to go back, just resist and ignore these thoughts and they’ll flee from you.
“Flee from sexual immorality. All other sins a person commits are outside the body, but whoever sins sexually, sins against their own body. 19 Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; 20 you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies.”
_ 1 Corinthians 6:18-20
“He who commits adultery lacks sense; he who does it destroys himself.”
_ Proverbs 6:32
“Resist the devil and he will flee from you!”
_ James 4:7
"But I say to you, anyone who stares at a woman with lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart."
_ Matthew 5:28
@MiguelFardinHotterthanyouthink
"We teach girls to shrink themselves, to make themselves smaller
We say to girls: “You can have ambition, but not too much
You should aim to be successful, but not too successful
Otherwise, you will threaten the man. Because I am female, I am expected to aspire to marriage
I am expected to make my life choices always keeping in mind that marriage is most important
Now, marriage can be a source of joy and low and mutual support
But why do we teach girls to aspire to marriage and we don’t teach boys the same?
We raise girls to see each other as competitors
Not for jobs or for accomplishments, which I think can be a good thing
But for the attention of men
We teach girls that they cannot be sexual beings in the way boys are
Feminist: a person who believes in the social,
Political, and economic equality of the sexes"
