I believe in the same.. Not just for women, but for gays/lesbians and minorities. But why do they call out a teenage artist for being anti-feminist with her lyrics?.. and another who clearly thinks being married defines a woman. That's my point.
Taylor doesn't have to say sh*t on this subject.

I'm just as excited for X as Taylor is but why is Ed releasing a song from it every day?

By her actions, Taylor clearly supports all groups... Women, Minorities and Gay's on her tour. Special guests. Sam Smith, ( gay) Tegan & Sarah (lesbians), TI, Nicki Minaj, Usher, BOB, JLO, Emelie Sande, (Minorities).

If I were her I would say "I Hate Labels". I don't have a sense of what it means. I thought if a woman reach her goals with hard work and drive they represent feminism. But apparently not.
Taylor writes "Fifteen" at 17 with lyrics..."But in your life you'll do things greater than dating the boy on the football team, Back then I swore I was gonna marry him someday But I realized some bigger dreams of mine"..She's a feminist nightmare.
However, Beyoncé goes on the "Mrs. Carter" Tour and her lyrics for " Singles Ladies" .."Cause if you liked it then you should have put a ring on it." She's the epitome of Feminism.
I can say as a woman, I can't stand these so call feminists groups. .

I thought Taylor handled the question on feminism poorly and that left her open to unfair attacks.
I believe in the tenets of feminism but somewhere along the way it has gotten twisted into something that was never intended. If it is true Taylor has been reading books on what feminism is I feel that is a good thing and hopefully she came away from it with a clear understanding of what it is and is not.

She was honest with her answer from her experience as a teenager. If people asked me as a teenager questions about racism I probably would answer differently as a woman in my 20's trying to integrate in the NYC workforce.
So why is Taylor Different? She's a rich Teenager that should know better?

Absolutely. Actions speak louder than words.

I think the problem is there's a lot of "Extremists" that make feminism seem like a bad thing Which I think is the case when it comes to Taylor as well. Clearly she seems more educated about the subject now, so if she was asked again (as she likely will be) I'm sure her response would be more mature.

I'm sorry but I never hold Teenagers accountable for what they say at 18 years olds. I'm not a fan of Miley Cyrus, never liked her when she was a tween.. But when people quote her at 16 years old . I'm like Dude Pleaz.. The girl is now 21. Hold her words accountable when she becomes legal. Legal to drink, drive, vote and have an opinion.

“That is a crazy rumour. I worked on the last record a little bit but I didn’t get the call this time. So, no, not me. She’s working with Max Martin on this record I think pretty much exclusively. That’s why he gets paid the big bucks you know, he’s working with everybody.”
— Gary Lightbody on if he’s working with Taylor again for album 5

Well I thought the question shouldn't have been asked in the first place. I hate when celebrities get asked certain questions by the media that are a minefield and are basically no win no matter what the answer. It is why I love the answer Taylor gives when they try to drag her into political discussions. Taylor usually handles herself very well in interviews from a young age to now with very few gaffes. No Taylor Is not different from anyone else in that their perspective will hopefully change from when they are a teenager to adulthood. I wasn't attacking her for it just stating the obvious that it left her vulnerable for people with their own agenda to attack her for it.
