There is no limit to the amount of control that feminazis want to have over our lives. If women do not adhere to the unbelievably strict rules set down for us by the fascist feminist Left, then they are labeled anti-feminist and anti-woman. The latest example of the femisogynist litmus test is Taylor Swift, denounced as unfeminist… for writing about true love and having a wholesome image. The nerve!A bit more at the link.Taylor Swift isn’t even 21 yet, and she’s already a force to be reckoned with. She became a superstar in 2006 at the age of sixteen, and today she’s sold over 10 million albums and appeared in several major motion pictures. She’s written her own music and said that most of her songs are autobiographical. She not only sings, but she also plays guitar and has produced much of her own music. Does any of this matter? Nope! Her latest song, Mine, has the femisogynists up in arms.
Feministing also jumped on the anti-Taylor Swift bandwagon, because Taylor Swift — a woman — is somehow “sexist.” And the reason that she is sexist is because a few femisogynists decided that the message of her music is somehow bad. Traditional love and romance is considered the most sexist thing ever when it comes to these enlightened beings. (After all, why should a woman be in a traditional, loving, respectful relationship?) When you consider that, as stated before, most of Swift’s songs are autobiographical, as in, based on her own experiences in relationships, it’s even more ridiculous. The feminazis claim that the issue is that music should speak to people, but obviously her music does speak to people, or she wouldn’t be selling millions and millions of albums. The issue here isn’t that women and girls don’t empathize with Taylor Swift’s lyrics, it’s that the feminazis want to decide what kind of relationships are sexist and not sexist.This song is rife with freaky-deaky, weirdo language that frames Swift as someone perpetually under the ownership, or at least care, of a male authority. The lyrics describe her as not a woman, but as a “careless man’s careful daughter” that her new boyfriend has “made a rebel of.” This is problematic to me, in the sense that it implies a transfer of her ownership from one man to another. I think it’s weird in this song that she doesn’t seem to have any sense of her own identity away from the love interest, or her father. I do, however, give her props for the use of the line “we got bills to pay.” Though grammatically incorrect, it implies that Taylor will be helping to pay the bills though some means of gainful employment. Let’s go back in time 50 years so that I can congratulate her on being progressive! ...

Feminazis Open Fire on Taylor Swift
From Cassy Fiano, at NewsReal Blog:
Don't stop an opponent from doing damage to themselves. I just love this stuff. I know I keep saying it, but it is the key to their demise.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed the feminists when I was in college. I was a bit older than most so I was more settled in my life. I used to move quickly to open doors for them and then just stare at them waiting for a comment. Funny thing is that I never got one. One feminist professor tried to embarrass the men in the class by making us represent women and having the women be what they thought men were. Of course the women started with all of the trite feminist junk. We on the other hand started taking about taking responsibility and doing the hard work of creating a better society and how important it was for us to work together. This did not make her happy. One thing though most of the women whined they were too busy for all that responsibility stuff, but there were a few who agreed.
I found that once you got most so called feminists into a conversation that most were just spouting rhetoric an were not that attached to feminism as it was then defined. You see it demonstrated today in the fact that most women run away from the feminist label. Just ask women if they are feminists and most will either say NO or equivocate. Women are great people and deserve to work to be the best they can be just as the men should. Individuals need to strive for that goal.
Feminazis deserve the name because they would lock women into a role that actually demonize the strengths women possess. It is no wonder that most women have problems with feminism when this is what desires to control them.
We are a team of equal members who have the strengths combined to be able to meet and exceed the requirements of life and prosper. Enjoy the differences because it is that which provides a synergy that makes us great. I don't think we will ever understand each other, but that is a good thing. Two heads are truly better than one. That which tries to make us the same only does damage to all of us and weakens us as individuals.
It is why Leftists, like feminazis, try to pigeon hole us into groups that are easy to play off against each other and when they need someone to demonize to gain power, such as the Jews, then it is easier to do because of the group identity.
Freedom requires, no demands, that we fight to maintain our individuality and to abhor the assignation of group identities.
I do that stuff to, Dennis, but now it's with faculty colleagues. Leftism is more a disease than anything.
ReplyDeleteI do that stuff too, Dennis, but now it's with faculty colleagues. Leftism is more a disease than anything.
ReplyDeleteI never really give up on most people because many will have to pass through these stages in order to begin to attain the goal of wisdom. Feminism as defined by radical feminists dies a rather quick death for most people and if we, as a nation, are put under considerable stress it dies even faster.
ReplyDeleteI always got a great big kick out of feminists stating that they were the primary influence on all children and my question was;"If this is so then why are you mad at us for as you state you are responsible for our early education and what we have become?" "Did we just forget everything you taught us?" I remember one feminist magazine had the heading, "Its a boy, what now?" It was interesting how confused they were at what was a problem for them. It is one thing to whine. It is a far different thing to bring up a healthy well adjusted male to adulthood. The same is true in the reverse.
Being a father to daughters and a grandfather to granddaughters I know it is different. The best thing you can do for girls is represent a good example of what a man is supposed to be and the same is true for mothers. They just need to be that example of what a woman is supposed to be. It is not an easy job, but definitely has its benefits when you see them succeed.
One is always busy holding off the excesses and damage of leftism because it will ultimately destroy itself as history keeps showing us.
Dennis, very well said. From a 30 something year female, irritated with feminists of our time.
ReplyDeleteI responded to the original post -
Once again this post left me with no doubt that liberals are attempting to engineer a new source for the West's spiritual fulfillment and you're doing it by destroying its existing spirituality. Supposedly, without the West's dependence on less developed cultures, and their spirituality, there will be no investment from the West for upliftment (and its associated and desirable low birth rates). How dumb is that?! The West's SPIRITUALITY is the ONLY driving force behind the upliftment attempts.

Taylor Swift is The Web’s Most Wanted Taylor!

Baby Names Alert.
Exactly right. It is a self-defeating movement that will die of its own illogicality like a creature that is too poisonous to reproduce itself. I think that Camille Paglia is irresponsible for suggesting that the Apollonian aspirations of men are somehow against nature. Women should keep quiet unless they have something sweet to say like Taylor Swift.
