Beyoncé: "Women should own their sexuality"

Beyoncé believes there is double standards at play when it comes to men and women expressing their sexuality.

Speaking in May's Out magazine, which she graces the cover, the singer said that she feels males are able to be sexual without repercussions.

However, the 'Drunk in Love' star thinks that women are at a disadvantage. Beyoncé, whose 'Partition' video has raised eyebrows for its raunchiness, said:

"There is a double standard when it comes to sexuality that still persists. Men are free and women are not. That is crazy.

"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. There is unbelievable power in ownership and women should own their sexuality."

Beyoncé meanwhile was caught blubbing on stage in Portugal recently after wrapping up her massive Mrs. Carter Show world tour.

She said to her fans: "If you all don't know, tonight makes 132 shows. Tonight is the last show of the Mrs. Carter Show. We started a year ago and I want to say this has been such a journey. In the past year, we've been through so much together. The Super Bowl, shooting the videos, all of these shows. When I first started the tour my baby was not even walking yet.

"I just want you to know that I am so lucky. I'm giving y'all an ugly cry. Thank y'all again. When I fall, you lift me up. When I'm hungry, you feed me. I just want to give you my light. I dedicate this song to you guys."
