Why Taylor Swift Offends Little Monsters, Feminists and Weirdos

Okay so this is an excellent article about pop music's current sugary sweet, ultra-wholesome and likeable country queen, Taylor Swift. What do you all think of it?

Honestly, before I reas the article I liked Taylor Swift, didn't really listen to her, but I thought she was pretty catchy and had more talent than any other disney purity ring pop tart out there. But the article did make me think, and I hate to admit it but Kanye was probably right in his drunken intteruption. Even if he was rude. But still, if it came down to who I'd want my tween daughter looking up to, I'd rather have her looking up to Taylor Swift than Miley Cyrus, but Lady Gaga/Beyonce/P!nk/Rihanna over Taylor Swift. GAGA IS MY QUEEEEEEN!

To hate on someone or something just because you can is rather irrational.

Personally, I think she's cool.
And yes, a madonna is better than a slut.

Forgive me for what I'm about to say.

I personally think that premarital sex is rather imbecilic at best, and sheer recklessness at its worst.

As far as Taylor Swift goes, she's not like Lindsay Lohan or Miley Cyrus.

In my analysis of what is happening in the world in relation to women, sure I'm up for female empowerment. But with power comes responsibility. Sure you can show off your individuality, but you must be responsible.

I know for a fact that women like it when guys respect them. But, both sides should act respectfully towards each other. Otherwise, it's simply bosh.

The problem with society at large is that it promotes freedom without responsibilities.

I'm actually enjoying this article quite a bit.

Plus I love Saving Jane, and reading about that made me realize how much it was a rip-off of it. Ugh, now I see it how it was a play by play screen by screen shot of it. It really is a rip off of all these young women that write about love at a high school level. As my friend puts it "she could write a cheesy romance novel." Lol

As for the whole Madonna/ Whore scenario, I hate it due the fact it plays down women are less than men to begin with. Hell we are all human and if women get put into these stereotypes of being whores or madonnas, shouldn't men? Or should we just got rid of it all together. Socialization at it's finest, my friends.

Also, for premartial sex.... who cares? As long as the two people are adults, and they are smart about their decisions, let them. Some people have that Christian notion to "wait 'til marriage" but really, this is the 21st century, not the Dark Ages. Homosexuality isn't a mental disorder now, so neither is having a romp in the sack before there is a "Ring on it". Personally, that isn't all a girl "has" is her virginity. I may be a little brash at it because I lost mine a LONGGGGGG time ago and really don't care, but that's who I am. Seriously, if you lose your dignity over it too, then that's giving him everything you have.

I personally would love my girls (if I ever have any) to be like Gaga. Just her originality is through the roof that I would want the to be. (BTW, I totally want one of those face guards she has in "Bad Romance").

I really do agree what this person has to say. At least she didn't take something like country music itself or being a young girl, and turn it inside out and s**t upon it, like Meyer did with vampires.

There is an equal stereotype that applies to guys.
Nice guys are the male equivalent of madonna, whereas mean guy is the male equivalent of whore.

Exactly, as long as you know what you are doing, and is being responsible in it. I always love to say "With power comes responsibility", because it's true.
