As if she has any clue what she’s talking about.

(People) — Girls may run the world, but Beyoncé is making it known that they don’t have the paychecks to show for it.

The singer has written an essay for The Shriver Report, a media initiative led by journalist and former California first lady Maria Shriver, that aims to document and discuss societal trends that impact women.

“We need to stop buying into the myth about gender equality. It isn’t a reality yet,” she writes in “Gender Equality Is a Myth!” from the 2014 special report entitled, “A Woman’s Nation Pushes Back From The Brink,” which can be downloaded for free until Jan. 15 through the group’s website.

“Today, women make up half of the U.S. workforce, but the average working woman earns only 77 percent of what the average working man makes,” she writes, under the name Beyoncé Knowles-Carter. “But unless women and men both say this is unacceptable, things will not change.”

The report is sponsored by John Podesta’s (who Obama just hired) Center For American Progress and will be given to Obama by Maria Shriver:

Maria Shriver will meet with President Barack Obama at the White House on Tuesday to present a copy of The Shriver Report, A Woman’s Nation Pushes Back from the Brink in partnership with Center for American Progress. The report is a groundbreaking investigation into the millions of women who are doing it all and barely scraping by, struggling to provide and parent in a nation that hasn’t kept pace with the modern realities of their lives. It combines research, analysis and ideas from the nation’s top academic institutions and think tanks, essays by leading thinkers, stories of real women struggling with our modern economy, and a comprehensive poll.

A Woman’s Nation Pushes Back from the Brink, in partnership with the Center for American Progress can be downloaded for FREE now through January 15th.
