What interviews and t.v. promo do you guys want for album release? I seriously wish She and her people would relax and do some way different stuff this time. I want to see her do an interview and hang out with Heather Hogan of Afterellen, for one thing. Heather is funny and a good writer and I think it would do Taylor's image a lot of good.
Anyone have any suggestions?

Heres my feminist essay for my soc class, I feel like a ramble just a biT but tell me what yall think 
Quote:
The topic of feminism and the sexism in society seems to be one that only women take interest in. Many men may brush it off and have a completely irreverent attitude towards it. But there comes a point in our lives where we have to ask ourselves questions such as why do the sexual activities of females remain highly scrutinized by society while those of men are highly praised? Or why is it strange for a man to have of small number sexual partners in his past but it is considered a bad thing for a woman to have the same? Also, why are feminine characteristics considered so much more inferior than masculine traits? How come a girl who plays sports is highly encouraged and strong of her but a little boy who prefers dolls is considered weak or a problem? Or how come it is considered strange for a man to admire a female public figure other than sexually? This may seem like an essay of questions but that it the point. Is there a logical, non-sexist answer to any of these? I think this is a problem with media and society.
Since the dawn of time it seems females have been treated inferior to males. Sons were considered a treasure, while daughters were a burden. My mother's parents while she was growing up did not see her college education or even her driver's license as a priority. I could write multiple essays just explaining the sexism throughout time and different cultures. It is common knowledge that throughout history men have been conceived as having more physical strength. While women carried the children men protected and provided for the families. But in modern day society where physical strength is nearly irrelevant while mental and creative strengths are much more pertinent, why do men remain superior? Why do men get paid so much more for doing the same work as a woman? Is physical strength considered some sort of benefit to an office job? Scientific research indicated that while men have, on average, larger brains than women (along with a larger body overall), women have more efficient use of their brains. Shouldn't this characteristic be more valued in a society where people do not come across situations where physical strength is needed versus mental strength? Is this some sort of primal instinct that the only thing women are worth is carrying children? Even so, as the source of every person on Earth, shouldn't women be respected as the very founders of society and the human race itself?
The media is considered a source for people worldwide to receive information for their daily lives. But it seems as though this is a yet another source for society to normalize its misogyny. Frequently amongst celebrities and related media outlets females are highly scrutinized, and also highly sexualized. Female celebrities are also considered much more polarizing than their male counterparts. Overall it seems like a paradox. We seem to build our media around sexually interesting the men by sexualizing our women, making it seem as though a woman's talent, work ethic, determination and brain are all considered irrelevant compared to what she can offer a man sexually. For example, Christina Aguilera was highly scrutinized and mocked after putting on excess weight, as she no longer appealed to men sexually. A problem that does not seem as common in male celebrities. This entire idea set exists while teaching women that they cannot be sexual beings in the way men are. Let's take Singer/Songwriter Taylor Swift, a woman known for many respectable achievements not limited to many Grammys, songwriter of the year awards and acts of charity, yet she only dates two men in about four years and is frequently called and portrayed as a “****” by the media, or that she “can't keep a man” as if that would triumph over her career and personal achievements. However, baseball player Derek Jeter has dated eight women in nearly ten years, and is constantly “saluted” by fans and media alike. But Taylor Swift shouldn't fret, it seems as soon as she is in a long term committed relationship with a man all “****-shaming” should cease. Almost as though a woman with a man is considered more respectable than an independent single woman. Let's take Beyonce and Rihanna for example. Both singers are very open about their sexuality in music, videos and performances. But the only difference is Rihanna is deemed a “tramp” by the media while Beyonce is looked at as “classy” and “dignified”. Could this be because Beyonce is married while Rihanna remains single? Another issue that I have noticed in discussions of celebrities and public figures amongst both groups of men and women, is that its considered a bit abnormal for a man to like and admire a female celebrity for reasons other than “she's hot”. I have found that men who admire a woman for her art, her views, her mindset, or her talents are hard to come by. However the opposite is completely normal.
Venturing outside the world of media, it would also seem hints of sexism are exposed even to young kids. Little girls who take on masculine traits, tomboys if you will, are highly praised. They're “cool” and “strong” and “not like other girls”, all considered compliments. But reversely, a little boy who wants to play with dolls or play house is, “weak”. Some may even think it as a serious problem and that he needs a stronger male figure in his life. This information relayed to our children basically says masculinity is good, strong and desirable, while femininity is considered weaker or less desirable. This type of idea continues into the teen years and early adulthood. A woman in a relationship who takes on some of her boyfriend's interests including movies, video games, music etc. is considered “an awesome girlfriend”. But a man who takes some of his girlfriend's interests would most likely get mocked by his friends, considered “whipped” and “emasculated”.
Sexism is not only seen through the actions and treatment of women by men, many women have taken these views considering how normalized these views have become. Whenever I am shopping with my sister she insists I hold the bags, when asked why she simply responds “You're the guy”. Obviously unintentional, but to me it would seem as though she is insinuating that as a male, I am physically stronger, and as a female, she is “too weak” to even carry her own bags. When in fact I would consider my sister stronger, both physically, emotionally and mentally, than I am. So why would that assumption still exist?
In review I think many forms of prejudiced against women exist in plain sight, but are often ignored and encouraged in today's society. We often like to pride ourselves, thinking we live in a society that condemns all forms of prejudice when in fact we are hardly half way to that idea. Besides sexism, even in the United States alone, exists huge problems of racism, homophobia, classism and anti-semitism to name a few. We like to take away people's human individuality by placing everyone into neat and organized little groups when in fact we are all different and unique individuals with our own strengths and weaknesses. And no gender, race, sexuality, religion, wealth or age should pre-determine who we are. As a society I think we should strive for the day where every single person is treated with the same respect and human dignity as a heterosexual white man.

That's great Ripe. And about the "carrying the bags during shopping" part, the way I look at is that girls just do that because it's in their nature that they want to be treated gently by the man they're interacting with, even if they are stronger both mentally and physically than him. But I may be wrong about this so
