Alcohol-induced blackouts are relatively common amongst social drinkers. A blackout can often lead to regrettable actions, but Yoncé and Jay have been dating since around 2000 , so you’d hope there’s enough mutual comfort there for them to not worry about it. Critics lauded Bey for this type of portrayal of monogamy and feminism, including Pitchfork : Beyoncé pushes boundaries not because it sells sex at every turn, but because it treats a power-balanced marriage as a place where sexuality thrives. At a time when when young people are gripped by an ideological fear of monogamy’s advertised doldrums, Beyoncé boldly proposes the idea that a woman’s prime—personal, professional, and especially sexual—can occur within a stable romantic partnership. Monogamy has never sounded more seductive or less retrograde as when dictated on Beyoncé’s terms.
