Taylor Swift: "Misogyny is ingrained in people from the time they are born"
Pundit Press ^ | 5/19/15 | Aurelius

Posted on 05/19/2015 2:03:34 PM PDT by rightistight

In a newly released interview, Taylor Swift said that she believes “misogyny is ingrained in people from the time they are born."

Ms. Swift was heavily criticized by feminists in 2012 when she stated that the word "feminist" was "too strong" a word to describe her. In the last three years, however, her opinions have changed.

Today, Ms. Swift believes that feminism is “probably the most important" thing that women can get involved with. According to the young star, inequality is difficult to overcome because “misogyny is ingrained in people from the time they are born."

She continued, “So to me, feminism is probably the most important movement that you could embrace, because it’s just basically another word for equality."

Ms. Swift also said that women face a harsh double-standard, explaining, “A man writing about his feelings from a vulnerable place is brave; a woman writing about her feelings from a vulnerable place is oversharing or whining.”

She’s been brainwashed by the Hollywood crowd, as expected.

Hey, Did you hear Taylor's New Song!?

It's About her Breaking Up with her Ex-Boyfriend!

Actually, that's not true, Bad Blood is about her Breaking up with Katy Perry....

Even though in the music video they tried to make it between her and Selena Gomez.

“Feminism” is the planned destruction of real women.

Women are paid more when they don’t leave the work force.

Many do to be married to powerful men with money or to more typically have their children and to later go back to work.

There are gaps due to women’s choices in their work record and those gaps have them being paid less than a guy their same age because the guy may have a solid additional ten years of so of work experience.

The greatest irony is her biggest critics were feminists.

Taylor is pretty and tale ted. They hate that unless you’re 100% on board with them. So they tore into her for years.

I’d love to see real women stand up regularly and repeat the words ‘Feminism is a Lie”.

If she made you a sandwich, would you eat it?

Lol....yeah, ok. A women doing so is called Taylor Swift. A guy doing so is called a homo that needs to get laid.
