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.”

When the teenie pop star shtick gets old, it will be her 3rd act to keep herself in the rags.

It worked for Miley Cyrus.

What a ditz. A real feminist woman takes care of her family. A real patriarchal man takes care of his family. We each have different roles to play.
If you take today's “feminist” you can plainly see that all they care about is themselves, their career, how things affect them. Self-centered narcissists is all they are.

No, the only word for equality is equality. What's the matter, dimbulb? Another messy breakup?

According to the young star, inequality is difficult to overcome because “misogyny is ingrained in people from the time they are born."

says the mediocre singer/songwriter who has made millions with bubble-gum pop music in the country and pop genres singing about middle-school and high-school angst and makes much more money for her concerts and videos than many of her male contemporaries.

She is just stupid. People are born with an instinctive bond with a woman—their mother. Unless “misogyny” is now defined as “needing your mother to take care of you until you can take care of yourself”.

Guess what Taylor....you don’t want to give birth to a human who can walk on Day One like a horse, so humans are BORN dependent on a woman for survival.

I’m sure that Gay Taylor has given up Christ for humanism by now, so she needs to learn that evolution created us this way.

I have heard the name before, but I could not name any song of hers even if you held a gun to my head. My music spectrum is pretty wide, but she isn’t in it.
