Taylor Swift

While i do enjoy the occasional Taylor Swift song and i commend her on her musical success i also believe that she is a feminist nightmare which is what this article from autostraddle is all about.  Taylor's music is mostly about heartbreak and falling in love, and there is no problem with that, the problem is that in a lot of her music she blames the "slutty" girl for her problems. The entire idea of feminism is not only about equal rights but also about how it should be okay for females to expression their sexuality and not have repercussions from it.  Taylor's music though, dictates that if you are "slutty" then you will ultimately lose to the girl who is "secretly perfect", or in a sense is just your typical girl next door, a character that Taylor portrays in a lot of her music.
