				Beyonce's new song, "If I Were a Boy," <a href="http://z100.elvisduran.com/pages/news/beyonce/">premiered today</a>, and while I'm impressed that the title is grammatically correct, I'm bothered by the fact that song is likely to be perceived as pro-female because it paints men in a terrible light. Just like Britney's  <a href="http://www.metrolyrics.com/womanizer-lyrics-britney-spears.html">"Womanizer"</a>, which has been described as <a href="http://popdirt.com/britney-spears-womanizer-video-details-emerge/69252/">"empowering"</a>, "If I Were A Boy" shows men as callous, unfeeling shysters who will take you for granted, make out with your sister and then steal your dog.				<a href="http://jezebel.com/5060713/new-singles-from-britney-and-beyonce-empower-women-by-dissing-men" title="Click here to read more about New Singles From Britney And Beyonce "Empower" Women By Dissing Men">More&nbsp;&raquo;</a>
