Quote:Taylor Swift is not a feminist. But Clara Beyer is, and she loves Taylor Swift’s music and sometimes she wishes Swift would change her twangy tune and be a little more progressive.

On June 11, the Alexandria native, a rising senior at Brown University, tweeted: “Idea for a single purpose twitter: feminist Taylor Swift.”

Of course, an ivy league cunt from the vortex of DC

Quote:The tongue-in-cheek mash-up of feminist theory and Swift’s love-struck lyrics was the perfect project for Beyer and Carty, who “both believe in bringing more people into feminism and gender-critical conversations,” said Carty, 20. “And the easiest ways to do that are to engage them with things they’re already into in their daily lives,” such as pop music.

I don't get what's sexist in Taylor Swift music. She's just a weird-eyed overgrown teenager who rides the cock carosel with younger men who represent the guys she couldn't get as a gawky teen.

Quote:Now Beyer, who is interning this summer at the online college women’s magazine Her Campus, writes a blog, That Girl Magazine, which aims to balance rejecting stereotypical gender norms with “recommending an awesome new lipstain.” Feminism and femininity: not mutually exclusive!

Carty, like Beyer, found feminism in college. He grew up in Kensington and attended the all-male Gonzaga College High School. “All the worst sides of men come out in all-male groups,” Carty said. “So that means I’d seen a lot of homophobia, a lot of sexism, a lot of aggression and bullying and a need for hypermasculine validation.”

It's always good to be summarized as a cultural stereotype

Quote:Swift “could be a poster child for feminism, if she wanted to,” Beyer said. “She could take everything she’s doing and say: ‘I’m a woman who is in charge of her life. I don’t let men in my life push me around.’ ”

Is riding the cock carosuel not enough? Cripes, look at the song 22. It ain't about a 22 year old guy. Its about a 22 year old chick, who's reasonably attractive, and therefore the world is hers (by world I mean simps giving her something for nothing).

When the world is ran by pantsuit Amazons, the patriarchy will still be the enemy. Patriarchy=Emmanuel Goldstein

I wonder if these women abuse their male cats for simply being male?

It's not enough to exert control in almost every level of the personal and public spheres; as long as there is one woman out there who fails to assimilate into the ranks, it's all been for nothing.

No way, male cats are closes thing to alpha interaction that they''ll get in IRL.

Nothing to see here It's typical Internet feminism. People who are unable to create things themselves, but still want noteriety, they resort to unoriginal, snarky criticism.

Ask this girl one thing: if you have such problems with Switft, why are you using her hard work to make your inane point? Pick up a guitar. Learn to sing. Make your own music. Nah, that's too hard.

More evidence that feminism isn't about female autonomy, but just a new social standard for women.

Who said Taylor Swift was feminist at all? It's as if any and all famous females have to pass some kind of litmus test? She's a young girl singing about what young girls sing about...

Wait? Taylor Swift isn't entitled to express her own opinions and experiences regarding relationships, gender and womanhood?

How dare she think for herself?

Too bad for the feminists that she just isn't taking the bait. Here are some quotes from Taylor Swift:

Quote:Relationships are the ultimate collaboration but It’s wonderful to hand over the reins to your boyfriend when you control so much of these big, high-pressure decisions, you know?

Here she is plain and simple saying she needs a man to be in control.

Quote:'It needs to be equal. If I feel too much like I’m wearing the pants, I start to feel uncomfortable and then we break up.

Again, she has to be led. Equal in this term means she needs a masculine opposite and not some beta chump.

Quote:'Whether it’s a summertime dress that makes me feel carefree, an evening cocktail dress that makes me feel fancy or a vintage dress that makes me feel like a ’50s housewife - which I enjoy feeling like, for some reason - I just really like dresses."

Not an ounce of feminism here.
