She’s... not, though. The most powerful person in the music industry isn’t going to be a performer.

Yes. There’s a trend now to try to track how much people have sex without relying on them to self report. Because when you let people self-report, they lie. A lot of people are looking at this now and basically, we don’t have that much sex, as a society. There may be outliers, but real life doesn’t look like TV, where…

In a long-term relationship, where the people aren’t in their 20s anymore, they have jobs, maybe kids. Twice a week is realistic.

In a long term relationship? Definitely.

Yup. Nicki Minaj is also a prominent feminist and has worked with Kesha but everyone jumps on Taylor and no one cares that Minaj hasn’t said anything

None of those things relate to feminism, so in this case, no. Again, you like Beyonce, but not Taylor Swift, and that’s why you (and Jezebel at large) are criticizing only one of them. Might as well own it.

So for all we know she hasn’t even heard about this. Maybe we should focus our anger at Sony and Dr. Luke and less on finding reasons to hate a female celebrity, yea?

She didn’t say that she did. KANYE claimed that she did, after the fact, and she was very clear that she did not, and what you mentioned about having Kanye vaguely tell her something about the song but not the actual line and definitely not the bit about owing him sex because he made her famous. So, unless you 100%…

Perhaps her argument isn’t illigitamate, but I don’t think its very ethical to use someone’s sexual assault to make your own argument that can be to your own personal gain (Demi would benefit from usurping the “feminist” label from swift.)

So if her brand of feminism clearly isn’t feminist, why expect her to speak for us? Or even want her to? I understand that she makes herself be a voice for feminism when no one really wants her to be, but if we don’t want her, why care?

Or could be any number of famous “feminists” who haven't said anything. Why is Taylor the only one people are calling out for not saying anything? Also if she's signed with Sony it's possible she legally may not be allowed to say anything.

Look, no one’s obligated to speak out (although you don’t need Twitter to say something, believe it or not). It just seems like Swift’s ‘feminist credentials’ are at least as solid as Beyonce’s at this point, yet no one would even dare question why the latter hasn’t said anything (because she’s THE QUEEN WHO SLAYS,…

Gooood, goood. They’ll fight among themselves and won’t even notice as we reassert the power we’ve lost in recent years and....

Wait, what? Who’s the big bad black guy feminists are blaming this situation?

Because instead of railing on the system of patriarchy and mistreatment of survivors, Demi decides to use her voice to send 5 tweets on how feminists aren’t doing a good enough job of defending each other.

Why does Taylor Swift get stoned to death on here for not saying anything when Beyonce gets a free pass?

Its so annoying! Like, theres plenty of shit to shade T. Swift about. Don’t use a horrible story of abuse to further your own feud with another female artist. So goddamned selfish.

For those of us under the impression that the actual people who failed Kesha were her abuser, her record label, a corrupt judicial system that values corporate interests over personal safety—we were wrong! The real people at fault? Feminists!

The fact that Taylor is the same age and blond somehow gives her a greater responsibility here? Oooookay.

I don’t grasp it because it doesn’t make any sense. Every white woman pop performer who’s ever called herself a feminist hasn’t by virtue of that taken on an obligation to speak out every time another white woman pop performer has a gender-related issue arise, and they sure as hell don’t have any more of an obligation…
