I hope this continues making it’s way around Tumblr.
This is literally the stupidest thing I have ever seen in my life.
She’s teaching young girls the wrong thing about being a woman? How? She’s one of the only role models LEFT.
Face palm.
OH. Okay, I’m sorry. So teaching young girls that’s it’s okay to be a good girl and not a complete asshole and slut is obviously not right. Got it. Thanks for letting me know that.
Are these motherfuckers serious? Okay, nope. Time to break this down.
She’s teaching girls not to be an asshole .. are you fucking serious? Have you heard any of her songs? She’s basically telling them that it’s okay to barge in on relationships and ridicule other girls if they don’t conform to primitive ideals on what a woman is supposed to be. Her entire career thrives off of enforcing the “virgin/whore” dichotomy. That’s about as asshole-ish as you can get and it sets women back about a good 50 years.
And a slut? I’m not touching that, because if your moral barometer is measured by what women do consensually with their own bodies, that harms no one, then I have no time to break down how fundamentally wrong that is and you have a lot of sexism to work through.
Taylor Swift is not a positive role model. She’s a horrible, untalented performer, poor songwriter, but aside from that, she’s a pretentious snotrag who bases her entire worth as a human being and an entertainer on her virginity. She is not teaching young girls how to be upstanding women. If a “good girl” to you is based on the amount of clothes women wear and the amount of sex they don’t have, then yes, fine, by your misogynistic, sex-shaming, double-standard, she is and you can stay stuck in 1940 if you wish, but the rest of us normal people won’t give into your sexist bullshit.

"Once a little boy sent me a charming card with a little drawing on it. I loved it. I answer all my children’s letters — sometimes very hastily — but this one I lingered over. I sent him a card and I drew a picture of a Wild Thing on it. I wrote, ‘Dear Jim: I loved your card.’ Then I got a letter back from his mother and she said, ‘Jim loved your card so much he ate it.’ That to me was one of the highest compliments I’ve ever received. He didn’t care that it was an original Maurice Sendak drawing or anything. He saw it, he loved it, he ate it."
