The video’s creator explains (here):

This video is not about Beyonce. It’s not even really about this song. My point is NOT that she shouldn’t have made this song because of X, Y, and Z.

My point IS: Oh, Look! X, Y, and Z exist and this song is a great tie-in to a discussion of feminism.

Worth a watch.  H/T @DeliaChristina
