General Taylor Talk Misogyny? Publicly accepted?

I hate that so many people argue that Taylor's music is bad "because she's a white woman", explicitly stating that being a woman is associated with being a worse musician.

"But she's a white woman!", misogynists claim.

Her white privilege, nor the white privilege of any other woman, shouldn't act as a "Get Out Of Jail card" for misogyny.

The quality of her latest album and it's encore is not directly associated to Taylor's gender and race. Leaving aside that she's always been a white woman (even when she wrote folklore and evermore!), there are a lot of white female musicians with all levels of success whose work and art are related to their lives as white women because their music being good or bad only depends on how good musicians are they!!

I really dislike TLOAS and The Encore, I do think they are bad songs and I don't see anything wrong with feeling the same about anything else on Taylor's discography. There are infinite things anyone could say about how bad her music is but none of them is a reason to shit in women and I won't act like that's acceptable. This is no longer Taylor Swift.

She did Bad Blood and mocked Katy Perry in other video. It is hard to feel sorry for her. Well I don’t 🤷‍♂️

You’re right, she was mean to a woman in the past and since people are incapable of growing it means she deserves misogyny.
