Ali (4): Females in the spotlight are making great strides in breaking down barriers between men and women. They are able to influence people because they tend to be the best at what they do such as Beyonce and Ronda Rousey. Beyonce has been named the most popular musician of the twenty first century by The New Yorker music critics. Ronda is ranked #1 female bantamweight champion.  Both of these women have a large group of followers and fans which gives them an opportunity to make a difference among their followers. There are moments that can completely change an idol falls short of their title for example if Beyonce made a bad comment or when Rousey got beat.

Well the world just officially got turned upside down. #UFC193

Ronda Rousey lost her right to calling herself the best in the MMA, she lost her original trademark. Many followers began to mock her and enjoying her misery of her loss. But does that take away all of the hard work that she has accomplished? Why is it that because they lost a match, or failed at something they feel the need that they have to start from scratch. “I started acting while competing because I don’t want to have a point where I stop fighting and I have to start from scratch” said Ronda. It is almost as if she was giving herself a back up plan in case she failed. Ronda’s comments were made prior to her loss, but what has changed for her plans since her match. In an interview with ESPN, Ronda told them that she needed to fight Holly again to beat her. Now that Ronda has lost she has an even bigger urge to come back twice as strong. It is true that we set expectations for the people we see as idols or superwomen, but are quick to judge when they are not these fictitious characters. That is the reason why we idol these women such as Beyonce and Ronda, they can take the heat from everyone and still come back to prove them all wrong.
