If you have a nope.gif sitting there on your desktop, now is the time, folks.

Could it be possible that Swift is simply having a whole lot of fun? I think this article is off the mark in the sense that it doesn’t take into consideration Swift’s character. I don’t think this video has any secret message, except that she is storytelling, as usual, and did it in the biggest way possible. I mean,…

yeah, the whole comparison to Beyonce was weird because I don’t think you can argue that Beyonce isn’t privileged and this piece did come across as a massive double standard

You are awesome, I was having the exact same thoughts.

Lol. At the very least, if you’re entitled to making stupid assumptions about how she makes millions, so am I? And of course she is a PR creation. So is 1D, so is Katy Perry. They all are. We might as well claim the relationships she’s had were all planned with the other party right down to the break up and subsequent…

Right? I remember years ago Jez posted something similar about Madonna and how she’s no longer doing things For The Feminism. And I was like, I don’t think Madonna ever WAS doing things For The Feminism. She was always doing things For The Madonna. When that meant breaking ground in terms of women’s sexuality, it did…

I feel like sometimes the tall, blonde, white women get whatever their brand of feminism is discounted because they are tall, blond, and white. For example, I’m not sure I see anything much more progressive or inclusive about Beyonce, but she doesn’t seem to get the same amount of flack that Taylor does. Even look at…

Bad Blood is the jam. How You Get the Girl is unequivocally the worst.

I haven’t found many people—not even Taylor—saying that it IS a girl-power feminist anthem, nor that all women ought to love each other in the name of feminism. If being a good feminist means I have to support all other women, including Phyllis Schlafly and Sarah Palin, mark me down as a shitty feminist, then.

She’s 25. Give her some time to figure out what her “brand of feminism” actually is. A lot of us are still figuring that out, but we don’t have to do it in front of billions of people. I agree with some of your points re: the music video and Katy Perry (PS it was Katy Perry who allegedly stole the dancers, not Taylor…

I’m sorry, what??? Are there people calling this a feminist manifesto? Who are these people??? I saw this video; it was an entertaining music video. Good grief. Singers and entertainers are that: entertainers. Yes, they can be with the times and try to reflect important cultural points in their work, but they are not…

Well, considering she gets a ridiculous amount of thinkpieces written about her every move and word, it’s not that surprising that she feels targeted.

25 year old girl makes music video with friends in it: people lose their natural mind.

If I read another piece like this my head will explode. I honestly don’t know how or why I ever finish them. I read dozens of articles every day, the most meaningless are always the ones that use the word “feminism” and the name of a pop star thirty times each. Basically, these people don’t really represent a single…

Counterpoint: Taylor wanted to make a cool video with her friends.

And you can tell this woman’s first language is not English from her Facebook post, so fuck people who are trying to subtly justify this treatment even harder. Watching store clerks snap at my family members who can’t understand rapid fire English leaves me with zero interest in seeing this from the fake manager’s…

I really don’t see that as passive aggressive. “I’m sorry, I didn’t hear you.” Ok. You’re sorry - legit apology. That’s normal. Also, you didn’t hear the person. That’s a statement of fact and lets them know that it was unintentional. That’s cool and a normal thing to say and makes sense. “You don’t have to yell”…

“I dunno how to sit!.... I dunno how to siiiiit!....” ....*howling*...

oh my god
