Oh Taylor Swift
Oh boo hoo poor female so hungry for love that she’s desperately chasing after people and being too clingy and the innocent little males who need a perfect woman who isn’t clingy and who fall for her maneater chasing ways are heartbroken when she sings about them after. EFF YOU WORLD. I’m so sick of the world depicting women in this manner!
Lately I’ve felt really bad about the whole Taylor Swift thing. Not because of the usual reasons that people feel bad for her – the string of broken relationships, the poor little rich girl who can’t find someone to love her thing – I don’t care about all that. What I do feel bad about is that people feel that they can make fun of a woman for essentially having more than one “boyfriend” a year and then singing about it. Let me just get this straight… people are making fun of Taylor because she' dates amazingly good looking and famous men, she is minting money off of singing about them, and she’s a hot, young blonde with oodles of talent? Sorry um, did I miss the memo? I fail to understand why no one is saluting or applauding the girl and are instead making her the butt of jokes!
It’s all because we live in this misogynistic world where women are hated and people have such extreme double standards. She hasn’t killed anyone, she’s beautiful and has access to places I couldn’t dream of being, why the EFF wouldn’t she be dating around? I’m not saying that she’s a completely flawless and sane human being; buying houses by your summer fling’s home and suddenly dressing like you’re Jackie Kennedy was a tad bit unnerving even for me, so yes she’s made some poor choices, but to me that is completely irrelevant to the fact that people are not smart enough to see the other side of things or to see that they’re even BEING misogynistic. I have a problem with people judging other people, especially other women WHILE holding men who do the EXACT same thing in high regard.
Here’s my case for Taylor Swift:
1.) She’s making money, and people like her songs. She’s a REAL girl who has relationships and her songs actually reflect her life. Oh but maybe she should be singing about the streets she never grew up on and the jail cells she’s never been in, or how chains and whips excite her because THAT’S cool! SHE’S A FREAKIN SINGER – HER SONGS SHOULD REFLECT HER LIFE – She’s possibly one of the FEW people who in their actual singing career are being honest while allowing other people to relate to it. No lie her songs are pretty catchy! One thing I’ve learnt in life DON’T MESS WIT PPL’S MONEY – if singing about her boyfriends has made her get to where she is, why are people hating? What do you expect her to do instead like are you going to pay her bills? You just don’t dog on someone’s career choices when they’re actually successful at what they’re doing because that makes you El Stupido.
2.) If you’re going to date her, you already know what you’re getting into so don’t complain when things don’t work out and you suddenly hear a song about you. I mean, hello?
3.) Choosing to sing about your view on your own relationships is hardly a crime and the people who are making fun of her (example Amy Poehler, Tina Fey, late night show comedians, Chelsea Handler etc) are people who have made their careers off of making fun of other people so I hardly think that they should be ones to judge. That makes no sense to me “Hi I make fun of other people for a living but the fact that you sing about your relationships and made your career off of that is DISGUSTING YOU SLUT”. Right..
4.) In a survey on hollywoodlife.com 67% of people who participated in the online poll said that they LIKED when Taylor sang about her relationships. She’s an artist/singer/star… she has to give the people what they wanttt goddamit! Civic duty and responsibility and all that jazz!
I don’t see anything wrong with what she’s doing. She dates people, the world is interested, she sings about them, she banks millions off of it, she get’s interviews because people care and she’s “relevant”… keep doin what you’re doin sistah! Hashtag mad props.
