Five time Grammy Award winning singer Beyoncé penned an essay titled "gender equality is a myth!"

Beyoncé published an essay on Maria Shriver's website, The Shriver Report. The piece is for the 2014 special report called, "A Woman's Nation Pushes Back From the Brink." The 32-year-old pop star, writing under her full name, Beyoncé Knowles-Carter, declared, "Gender equality is a myth!"

She opened up the 200-word essay straight to her point. "We need to stop buying into the myth about gender equality. It isn't a reality yet.," she wrote.

The singer has been married to rapper Jay Z for nearly six years and is not shy to show her love for her husband. In her recent video, "Drunk in Love" off of her self titled surprise new album, the singer dances sexually in the presence of her rap-mogul husband. However, her public displays do not change the fact that she does not feel like man and women are treated equally.

"Equality will be achieved when men and women are granted equal pay and equal respect," Beyoncé said. "These old attitudes are drilled into us from the very beginning."

Beyoncé stressed that men and women both have to stand up to demand a change.

"Women are more than 50 percent of the population and more than 50 percent of voters. We must demand that we all receive 100 percent of the opportunities," she wrote.

Last year, Beyoncé told British Vogue that she hesitated to call herself a feminist. The word feminist "can be very extreme," adding "But I guess I am a modern-day feminist. I do believe in equality. Why do you have to choose what type of woman you are? Why do you have to label yourself anything? I'm just a woman and I love being a woman," she told Vogue.

The iTunes record breaker has promoted female empowerment since her early years with Destiny Child up until this point in her career with hits such as, "Independent Women (Part One)," "Run the World (Girls)," "***Flawless," "If I Were a Boy," "Irreplaceable," and "Grown Woman." 

Her new song "***Flawless" off her newest fifth studio album, features voice over from Nigerian feminist author, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. 

"Because I am female, I am expected to aspire to marriage," Adichie said in the sample. "Marriage can be a source of joy and love and mutual support, but why do we teach girls to aspire to marriage, and we don't teach boys the same?"

"We say to girls, 'You can have ambition but not too much. You should aim to be successful but not too successful otherwise you're reflecting the man,'" Adichie said later on the track. 

Beyoncé said in Part 2 of her mini-documentary regarding Adichie, "Everything she said is exactly how I feel."

The singer's contribution is one of many pieces that are in Shriver's report. The report explores the rates of financial insecurity among American women, examines its impact, and offers solutions for change.

Along with Beyoncé, Shriver's report has pieces from actress Eva Longoria, who wrote "Empowering Latinas," and basketball star LeBron James, who penned an appreciation of the nation's working mothers.
