Taylor Swift upsets all the right people.

Including a man who wrote an article published in Newsweek that argues an incredibly misogynistic and archaic point:

Taylor Swift is a poor role model to little girls because she is unmarried and does not have children.

The writer of the offending piece, John Mac Ghlionn, claims to have a “keen interest in social dysfunction and media manipulation,” and yet he turns to the media to try to manipulate women to marry and have children; surely the irony is not lost on him?

Surely, he’s got to recognise that he is a purveyor of social dysfunction.

All I can think is that it’s happening again. They are coming for Taylor Swift, like they came for Jennifer Aniston.
