i know that we all joke around about album six being all diss tracks or whatever but album six has the potential to be a really emotional album on both the happy side and the sad side and give us really cutting lyrics and i’m beyond ready

Reblog this post if you're still an active Taylor Swift blog!

Please. I have followed 200 blogs the past few years but lately most of them stopped blogging

actually it’s utterly horrifying to me how kanye west has been repeatedly violently misogynistic, has proven to be a rape apologist, has sexualized his infant daughter, has mocked and humiliated past women in his life a million times over with endlessly vile and sexist language––and it’s been met by people at large with an apathetic shrug. a “boys will be boys” type of response. the reaction has undoubtedly been a sort of “that’s just kanye and he’s crazy these days haha.” but taylor swift deserves the vicious insidious misogyny she gets because she’s not as good of a feminist as you want her to be? 

misogyny is still misogyny even if you don’t think the victim is a good person. it’s still violent, it’s still a sign of a bigger problem, it still shows how little kanye values the women in his life in any capacity and i’m tired of seeing people who should know better than this willingly continuing this witch hunt.

“taylor swift is playing the victim like she always does” like honestly this is ridiculous. she is a victim of kanye’s misogyny, she has always been a victim of his misogyny, since the very moment they became associated with each other. and she is not the only woman involved? what about rihanna, who was depicted naked and unconscious next to her documented abuser? what about amber rose? what about bill cosby’s victims? did they all consent to this? where’s the footage proving this?

where’s the video footage of taylor swift saying, “yes, kanye, i consent to you portraying me practically lifeless and naked in bed with a rapist, i’m a bitch and you made me famous?” that footage doesn’t fucking exist because kanye didn’t ask her permission and because even if he did ask, and she had said no, he would’ve done it anyway. kanye has no respect for women. none. he has proven this so many times and somehow people still remain able to ignore it.

i’m so angry and hurt and frustrated as a survivor of abuse and sexual assault that people can easily push aside what kanye’s done in order to go after taylor swift because of course this bitch got what she deserved for not being intersectional enough.

if you’re celebrating taylor swift being humiliated and violated in front of the world because she’s not a good enough feminist, but you don’t care how much kanye west (assuredly a worse feminist than taylor swift) benefits from this situation, you aren’t seeing the big picture, and it’s so frustrating, it’s so sad. ultimately, kanye benefits from people gleefully tearing down taylor swift and ignoring his transgressions, after he’s been a violent and vicious misogynist time and time again, in this situation and countless others. 

and as a survivor it really sickens me that my outrage over someone belittling and dismissing my trauma is going to be overlooked because you think taylor swift finally got what she deserved.

Something else is going on with Taylor Swift  --  and it's ugly

Nicholas Carlson

Taylor Swift is getting pummelled on social media right now.

Supposedly, it’s because Swift mishandled her reaction to a Kanye West song.

But it feels like there’s something else going on.

Like the hate has something to do with Swift appearing too eager to please, too earnest, too put-together, and too successful.

For some reason, when we as a public see too much of someone like that, we want to tear her down.

We’ve seen it happen before.

Back in late 2012 and early 2013, Anne Hathaway — an eager-to-please, earnest, put-together actor  — had a very bad few months.

In December 2012, she won a Golden Globe and gave a very awkward acceptance speech.

“Um, oh my gosh,” she began. Then, in a stage whisper she said, “This is happening.”

Social media had a field day with that one. It was so cheesy. What a theatre kid.

Then came the Oscars. Due to a last minute screw-up by her designer, Hathaway had to find a dress at the last minute. She found one. But it had some very unfortunate stitching. The social media feedback was brutal. A hashtag, #hathahaters, gained steam.

A Crushable writer named Alexis Rhiannon summarized the views of many, writing the following:

“When I see Anne Hathaway out in the world, I’m not into it. She’s like… too good. She’s too nice, too attractive, in too good of shape, too humble, too talented. With all those things, I should be obsessed with her. But instead I’m just not. I’m oddly disconnected.

I watch her beautiful face do its talented acting and go — my my, what a large beautiful mouth. I don’t like it. Look at those dark beautiful eyes. I don’t like them. Listen to her skinny beautiful words. I don’t like them. Shut up. Shut up, Anne Hathaway. I honestly don’t know what it is. Maybe I’m jealous, but I don’t feel jealousy. I watch her in outtakes, and I feel like she’s not a real person. She’s always putting on accents and flittering around apologizing for mistakes that she didn’t make, and I just don’t get it. I don’t find her perfection charming. I find it annoying.”

Eventually, The San Francisco Chronicle named Hathaway “The Most Annoying Celebrity of 2013.”

Naturally, all of this made Hathaway feel terrible.

In 2014, Hathaway told Harper’s Bazaar that the morning after her 2013 Oscar win, she found herself asking Google a question: “Why does everyone hate Anne Hathaway?”

What came back was awful.

She told Harper’s it all made her feel like she had been “punched in the gut. Shocked and slapped and embarrassed.”

“Even now I can feel the shame,” she said.

Meanwhile, none of the rest of us got much out of bringing her down. So why are we doing the same thing to Swift?

Hubby and I were talking about this recently, because he tolerates her music but says he can’t stand Taylor.

She grates on him, he says she’s “too polished, too careful with her words, too put together, too pretty, too nice, too humble… she’s just too goody-two-shoes. It has to be fake, no one is really like that. People have shit days and say stuff they don’t mean and sometimes go out looking like crap. She’s too fake.”

For the record he says the same about Tom to a lesser extent. This is what happens when you’re a positive person who’s conscious of your image because you have to be. I guess if she was a total diva who liked to tear down everyone around her it wouldn’t be a problem, that would be more realistic?
