yeah I don’t know what I’m supposed to be reacting to. this whole situation seems to be handled appropriately.

I’ve heard of Erin Brocovich. I’ve never heard about any massive chemical leaks in West Virginia. Who’s really in need of the attention whoring?

Or maybe she’s trying to bring attention to the problem? For fuck’s sake. God forbid anyone with a large amount of experience in dealing with a crisis like this try to lend their help and expertise.

So this means she should just sit and take sexually abusive crap from a MAN? Really? You have no business accusing others of hypocrisy.

I don’t think the Katy Perry/backup dancer thing was so insignificant. It left Taylor short several dancers mid-tour - I’d be pissed too and there’s a good chance I’d tell all my friends what a bitch that person was. Katy is just as annoying to me as Taylor is to other people.

Yeah I mean women—even feminist women!—are allowed to be imperfect—even in their feminism!!—and that’s something we maybe haven’t quite learned yet.

Yeah, I get you. I agree that she’s definitely not like, a feminist icon or a brilliant feminist thinker, or anything. She’s like the Target of music. But as far as reactions to a guy saying some gross shit about you in an album go, I just don’t see why this is being judged as “insufferable,” and why Kanye’s misogyny…

I just wish that we didn’t perceive feminism as a performance and that it wasn’t a thing we scrutinized female celebrities and famous women generally for performing or not performing correctly. Because it becomes yet another standard that women are held to that men are not. It’s tiring. Why can’t feminism just be a…

What is Kanye right about?

Yeah, I don't get the necessity for that last line. If Amber Rose had said the same thing, we'd be commanded to cheer.

Kanye is the one who defended a serial rapist, though. That pushes a little past annoying. So I’m not sure equating the two is very honest.

Yeah, I really don’t get the snotty attitude towards Taylor on this one. She was famous - very famous - before Kanye ever grabbed the microphone from her.

She said it while being white. Cardinal sin!

Maybe. But I’m on Swift’s side. I know she’s a vanilla white girl we all roll our eyes over, but she’s one of many women who have to put up with this shit from men looking for cheap plugs.

Fair point, but I don't think that's what this acceptance speech was. It was pretty head on a response to Kanye taking credit for her fame (which is utter bullshit). She should be allowed to stand up for herself and that's what this seemed to be about.

And then said I owed him sex because of it. Kanye has really been into rape culture recently.

Exactly what I was thinking. Personal feelings about TSwift aside, how is a woman asserting herself and taking (deserved) credit for her own accomplishments something to mock or deem “insufferable”?

Something something white privilege?

I have a hard time on a feminist blog finding a way to be anything but Team Taylor on this one. She may have an incredibly planned public persona and is annoyingly twee (can we PLEASE retire #squadgoals forever ??), but Kanye is the literal worst.

Fucking good for her. I'd be pissed if some egomaniacal dude was trying to take credit for my massive success too. This is the most I've ever liked Taylor Swift.
