Taylor Swift and Feminism

Here’s something that has been bugging me a bit recently, the idea that Taylor Swift is anti-feminist or that her songs present femininity in a negative light and she’s doing more harm than good.

It’s usually what you hear before they say that she doesn’t write her own music (first problem with that, she does actually write her own songs, secondly a lot of others don’t) and that she dates a lot of guys (because attempts at actual relationships are somehow worse than musicians that have gone on record to say they’ve slept with hundreds of girls).

Correct me if I’m wrong but isn’t the goal of feminism to be empowered to do whatever you want? To establish equal opportunities for women in education and employment? To control your own life and make it into a success in a male dominated society?

For probably the first time I actually experienced someone who was legitimately interested in me even if it was just a tiny sliver of interest. So she asked my friend about me and suddenly she has no interest in me. Why? Because I’m only 22.

Age is of no importance or an indication of anything, anyone can grow old all you have to do is live long enough. I was born at a very early age are you going to hold that against me? Jokes aside, its backward ass thinking like
