How dare you mock this very humble man who you should thank for having a job as he once single-handed lay stopped world war 3, something he definitely didn’t make up and then brought up for attention!

I think the quote is out of context. The formulation sounded vague to me, so I googled and found this:

Well, this site has mocked her when she didn’t speak out for liberal causes, and they’ve mocked her when she has, and they’ve mocked her when she’s dating someone, and they’ve mocked her when she’s not dating someone, and they’ve mocked her every time she’s been herself in the public eye.  None of it has been…

In 2018, Swift waded into the fray to endorse two Democratic candidates in her home state, Tennessee; while those candidates did not prevail, she’s credited with inspiring 65K+ voter registrations nationwide. Moreover, two days ago the USPS warned 46 states that their ballots were at risk of return delays. (Many of…

Has it? It seems like this place had more to offer than just snark in the days of Lindy West and Jia Tolentino. In any event, it seems to have gotten worse this year.

The world is on fire and the best you can do is make fun of Taylor Swift for what, being a woman?

As did nearly every comment on here. Did you read a single one supporting your take?

And even if she had been bandwagoning here, her tweets still would have been important! This message is one that needs to be signal boosted by everyone with a platform, so the 100th person that does it is just as important as the first! So many states (including important swings states like Michigan, Florida, and…

This and the Bella Hadid story a couple of weeks ago is click baity misogony. Also, and damn it I hate defending Swift because she kind of annoys me, she came out before this - in June in support of BLM and donated as well. This makes it sound like she bandwagoned on this. It’s misleading, lazy, and *unty reporting.

A bitchy compliment towards Taylor Swift yet the transphobic Cardi B is praised by a trans woman.

I feel like Jezebel has lately been more “bratty high schoolers share their hot takes on the news” and less “interesting perspectives on current events.”

Jezebel has been doing this for about five or six years. Reactionary conservative interpretations of gossip while pretending to progressive.

You know what’s good feminism? Not shitting on women for using their platform for good.

Yeah, fuck Taylor Swift for trying to get her fans to vote in a timely manner to have their voices heard, amirite? Who the hell does she think she is, being all influencing and popular and with a loud voice on social media, trying to get people involved so we don’t have another 4 years of Donald Trump. The unmitigated …

“Bravely” huh?

Wow this is quite bold of you Esther but I have to wonder is there anyone else who you may have misjudged? Say a prominent politician who was accused of something far more serious that ultimately turned out to a ratfucking operation perpetuated by a perjurer who had been grifting off her association with him without…

So you going to apologize for calling his apology “weaselly” now that it’s clear he was being pretty magnanimous to accusations made in ill-faith?

“dissected based on whether or not they would help Biden’s election chances.”

I’m just not buying this. Biden won the primary, committed to selecting a woman as his VP, then did. There were legitimate female candidates in the primary who all received fair media coverage and they just didn’t get enough votes. How is that the fault of “the patriarchy”?

How do we reconcile this attitude toward Biden’s nomination and his selection of Harris with the reality that Black women represent the voting base of the Democratic party and that their votes propelled Biden to securing the nomination?
