Not everybody can or has to be everything. She is a writer and comedian. She is not and has never claimed to be an activist or organizer of any sort.

And she must speak for ALL women, be they cis, transgender, of colour, disabled, rich, poor, etc, etc. If she doesn’t, she’s a racist white feminist MONSTER and we should send her straight to the guillotine along with every other privileged monster out there.

100000000000000% this. You have to right on every issue at all times, or else all your opinions and thoughts are null and void.

How have we gotten to the point where every celebrity has to say precisely the correct thing regarding every social ill? She’s funny and seemingly desires to be a good person. Is that not enough?

One of the biggest and most valid issues that people have with progressive liberalism in 2016 is there is absolutely no fucking margin of error ever. Ever. If you say one thing that can be construed as offensive (by people who spend all of their time parsing through each word and inflection of everything everyone says…

She could. Also it would be cool if she didn’t have to be the perfect champion of everything progressive because she’s one of a small handful of women making it in comedy.

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.

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.

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.

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”?

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.
