A leading feminist writer has accused Taylor Swift and Katy Perry of killing feminism and throwing society back to the 'demure girly-girl days of the white-bread 1950s'.
Camille Paglia says that both singers have 'insipid, bleached-out personas' that hark back to the man-pleasing, pre-feminist era.
In an article for The Hollywood Reporter, she wrote that as a result, many of today's young women fail to realize the role their sexuality plays in society and 'partying till you drop has gotten as harmless as a Rotary Club meeting'.

if you're too strong, you're a bitch, if you're too feminine then you're dumb and useless
However, there will always be girls like Taylor who just want a simple lovey dovey life. My best friend is like this and that's just how she is, no changing it!
I'm the opposite, I think I have a pretty good balance to be honest. I know that I need to be feminine and let a guy feel needed, for the sake of nature; however, at the same time I'm fine without a man and people actually consider me really strong and tough lol :) <--which actually makes some men uneasy if I show too much of that side.
We should be teaching this balance somewhere lol
das no lie though. for example, I saw this short news clip about a girl who dressed up as like a sexy bumblebee or something idek for halloween, and the girl was like 15 or 16 and the school principal said she was dressed like a porn star and the girl was like "what's a porn star? what's that mean?" and her parents were OUTRAGED that the principal would tell her what porn was, and yet they let their daughter go to school half naked. smh.
dis is a PRIME EXAMPLE of WHITE WOMEN oNLY CARIN ABOUT DEMSELVES & THEIR ISSUES & puttin MINORITY WOMEN on the shaft
she even specifics "Middle-class white gurlz" @ the end of her little rant. not even playin that she doesnt give a fuck.
:(
nope, in the same vein of makin minority models wear animal print imo
Because what feminism really needs is to focus on the needs of middle-class white girls??
IDK, maybe I just don't understand what she's trying to say here, because this whole article was confusing as fuck, but I'm not really feeling this. Which isn't to say there aren't aspects of T.Swaz and Katy that are anti-feminist or problematic or whatever, but I'm not sure she's criticizing them for the right things here. Or maybe I just have no idea what she's trying to say.
