Sweetheart, I listened to Red in its entirety, and Speak Now, and yeah, maybe every song might not be about relationships, but 99% of her catalog is about either how having a boyfriend is just the best/how much she hates girls who date the boys she likes/or her exes. Just because it's not her ENTIRE catalogue, and just because you gave me one exception does not mean that she's a good role model for girls. The fact of the matter is, the vast majority of her catalogue IS about relationships, and the way she talks about them is not healthy. So sit yourself DOWN.

So what if she wants to write about how love is like the best thing in the world? Are you that cold-hearted or have you never experienced love before? So what if she wants to write about love? It's not like she's belittling herself and writing that she needs love to survive all the time and **** like that.

So what if she wants to write about her exes? For **** sake she's a SONGWRITER, not a politician who has to be politically correct all the time. Don't songwriters write what they want? Isn't it called artistic expression?

Besides it's not like the way she writes gives a bad influence too. In fact, you could even say WANEGBT is "feminist", she is the one that is saying "no" to a bad relationship and not saying that she needs to be in some man's arms all the time.

How much she hates girls who date the boys she likes - That is only one song and it's to a specific girl and it's not because she is dating him, it's because she "stole" her boyfriend. Is she hating on her just because that girl is now with him? You need to know the full story before coming to your conclusions.

She has two songs about disliking a girl a guy is dating; how does that make up 99% of her discography when she has more than 50 songs? Taylor's music/lyrics are confessional and about expressing inner feelings and the feelings we have as human beings are not always perfect or healthy. If you're trying to say you've never felt less than charitable to another girl or been devastated at a break-up, please. And actually I DO think it's a good thing for young girls to know that their feelings are normal and they're not the only ones; that even the successful and beautiful Taylor Swift has felt that way, too. And it can be argued that listening to non-stop power 'feminist' anthems isn't great for young girls, because it can make them feel inadequate when they don't feel that strong or powerful all the time.

Taylor has mostly female fans and they all feel inspired and empowered by her, because she shows that the way that females feel is important and worthy. And Taylor is always praising and supporting other female stars, unlike the girl who thinks it's feminist to take shots at other women all the time.

So just because She has a lot of songs about relationships She's a bad role model? I assume you also think the same of artists like Bruno Mars and others who write/sing about relationships. Or do they get a pass because they're men?

Kii at people saying she hates women for 3 songs She wrote when She was 18 (2/3 being about a fantasy/imagined scenario)

[ShineOverShadow]

She's not wrong, though. I see she has all of your panties bunched up, though.

Not to mention Taylor is actually LIVING feminism, which is more important than preaching it all the time. How can anyone say she's teaching girls to get all their worth from boys? Is Taylor living in a small town and clinging to a boyfriend to give her life meaning? No, she's slaying the music industry, writing her own music, directing her own tours, managing her own career and doing it all without a boyfriend by her side. How is that not a good examples for young girls? Haters, continue to seethe because your faves could never.

This girl

All the news about her recently makes her really unlikable.

But I'm waiting for her speech about Gaga

[STMG23]

DAMN, whose wig hasn't she come for?!

I agree with her first point- people belittle feminists a lot, but what she needs to understand is that if she wants to really support feminism she should be attacking the patriarchy instead of Taylor Swift or another female in the industry.

[holyground]

Most of us here are mad cos mr Hypocrites made some stupid comment.

Very true, i'd rather have female musicians supporting each other rather than the latter. I would love to hear Lorde's take on Blurred lines.
