Last week I didn’t listen to reputation until 1:00 in the afternoon bc my boyfriend wanted to listen to it with me. I think that speaks volumes about how much I love him (he did hold me when I cried through New Year’s Day tho so he’s chill)
Here’s my issue with Taylor Swift
Taylor Swift is what I would call a “kindergarten feminist”. A kindergarren feminist, at least to me, is a person that is just learning the ways of feminism and are just learning and advocating about the basic feminist principles and issues (think about empowering women, pay gaps, etc.). Now there is nothing wrong with being a kindergarten feminist (cause I mean we all have to start somewhere), but being a kindergarten for too long is a problem.
A child goes to kindergarten to learn the basic material that will be needed in order to accel later in their school career (think about reading, counting, knowing the alphabet, shapes, etc.). These are things that a child needs to firmly grasp in order to succeed and not be left behind by their peers. Feminism is much like this in the respect that you need to firmly grasp the basic material in order to properly advocate for the movement.
When you have grasped the basics and have passed all the tests you are psuhed to the next level to learn more things. You are pushed along because you no longer need to learn the basics because you already know them. You are pushed along because it’s time for you to start building the house now that the foundation has been placed down. So why stay in kindergarten if you no longer need to? There is nothing more for you to learn. There is nothing you can gain. Staying there is pointless.
Taylor Swift (and many other celebrities) have finished kindergarten with honors, but they have not moved on. Their knowledge ends at pay gaps, body positivity, sexism in the media, etc. They either don’t know or don’t acknowledge other very important issues that feminism also deals with (think transgender women, women of color, disabled women, queer women, etc.). This is why staying a kindergarten feminist for too long is a problem. Your ignorance of the issues is not allowing you to grow as a feminist. You are ignoring a vast majority of issues that women face everyday. You are not helping anyone (including yourself) by not continuing with your education.
when people say “taylor swift is over” they mean “taylor swift is over all your insignificant hate and doesn’t give af about what you think about her xoxo”

Every time I see a post where someone criticizes Taylor unfairly, I click on the notes, and without fail, so many of you have already beat me to it with the fact-checking and the well-articulated explanations & feminist rants. Honestly, long live the Taylor Swift Defense Squad. still all over it in 2017.
