I think these bloggers think they’d lose their (non existent) street cred if they defended Taylor. I mean, even the headline is veiled. Taylor didn’t merely respond to Kanye, she called him out, and did it with class. Somehow still, we need to point out she’s annoying. And the “yeah but she has male producers so I…

Being consistently sexist and demeaning to women is just being labeled as “annoying” like a cute personality quirk? Um, okay....

I think it’s ok to give a few props to T-swift for sticking up for herself on this one after being disrespected not once but twice by Ye on a public platform entirely unprompted. I don’t love everything (most) things she does, but I’d love to see a feminist blog standing with a woma n in the face of misogyny…

Yeah, as a staunch Kanye fan and defender for the past 10 years I finally gave up tonight. The guy is a misogynistic dick. His celebrity far outweighs his art at this point. I loathe T-Swift, but why are we not standing with a woman sticking up for herself on a public platform for getting called a “bitch” by a…

Depressing things I’ve learned from the Jezebel comments today:

Kanye: Calls Swift a bitch, implies he was responsible for making her famous, implies that he’s owed sex by her

Yeah, but Amber is black and edgy, and Taylor is white and conventional, and the culture here sometimes resembles 8th grade in that it’s all about who the cool kids are. Amber’s cool, Taylor’s not, and supposedly grown women form opinions based on that.

Both of these artists remain insufferable.

I’m no Swift fan, but standing up for yourself when some horrible (married) guy publicly says that they think they’ll fuck you AND that they’re the real reason you made it AND that you’re a bitch?

We are so fucked if this is the shit coming from a supposed feminist blog.

So any white woman who is attacked, abused, or insulted should STFU and take it because the centuries-old privilege our shitty ancestors instilled makes it her karmic obligation? Got it.

Am I actually reading comments implying that Swift was anything less than 100% correct and totally classy about this nonsense? This incredibly overrated media-whoring pop rapper mumbles a profane remark about her then takes credit for her fame and that’s just Kanye being Kanye? What did she ever do to anyone? I mean…

Agreed. I mean, she’s not my cup of tea. At the Mitch Connor music awards things would have looked a little different, but this sounds a little like, “How dare a woman take credit for her own success?” which is never a good look.

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.

I file stuff like this under “black men are still men,” ie, they might be marginalized for their skin, but they still treat women like shit.

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.

I know it’s not cool on here to like taylor, but damn clover did she kill your dog or something? You are salty as fuck.

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”?

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.
