A SOLDIER'S PERSPECTIVE
THE WEB'S LEADING MILITARY BLOG SINCE 2004

That’s right! You feminazis have not gotten on my last nerve. Why? Because now you’re messing with Taylor Swift! Nobody messes with Taylor Swift and escapes the vile, sarcastic snarkiness of CJ!! Now, before you ask why a suave, sophisticated 30-something is trolling around a site called “Teenagerie”, I’m not. I’ll give the hattip right up front to the NewsRealBlog, who probably DOES need to answer for why they’re trolling teenie-bopper websites! hehe. ![]()

However, I will admit a freaky, and probably borderline sick and twisted, attraction to the young country music singer and songwriter. My iPod has every one of her songs on it. But, I like her because she hasn’t gone the way of Britney Spears and the other slutty young singers that dive off the deep end of the unwholesome pool. Unlike the others, Taylor writes and perform her own songs and even knows how to strum a guitar. Perhaps THAT is why the feminazis don’t like her:

There are two things that I thought were especially worth noting about this song and the accompanying video. The first is the possessive language, which you might have noticed as something from my previous posts as something that frequently gets my feminist goat.
The loser feminist Jamie Keiles must think that just because two people are in love that only the man may admit belonging to his partner. I know I belong to my wife and she knows she belongs to me. We belong to each other. That isn’t good enough for people who want to destroy the world and pretend that the sexes are equal in all ways, physical, mental and psychological. If Jamie DOES want true equality, perhaps she’ll agree to a cage match with me?
The problem with people like Taylor Swift is that they don’t conform to the classless ruining of society. They create and expect the world to conform to their extremist and cockamamie ideas. Taylor is supposed to flaunt her sexuality, subjugate men, and assert her “grrrl power” over the world. She can’t be a pretty, in-love, confident young woman comfortable feeling dependent on anyone, especially a man.
Well, feminazis: keep your hands of Taylor. Better yet, take some cues from her book!
Note: There is nothing wrong with a strong, assertive woman in a position of authority over a man. I would be just as opposed to a woman flaunting her gender over the opposite sex as a man doing the same! My problem is with the feminist group think that all women must conform to their stupid ideas of what women should and shouldn’t be.

They have been after Taylor Swift for a long, long time. I don’t know about others, but I remember that sweet innocence of crushes, first loves, and heartbreak in my teens. I love Ms Swift’s music because she writes her experience, which is young and sweet and innocent. That’s ok. Not everyone has to be jaded and cynical and hardass. The best part is listening to my own daughter singing her songs and knowing that hearing those kinds of lyrics come from her mouth are better than hearing things like Brittney’s 3

Oh honey, calm down. I’m a 50-something feminist but I don’t mandate that all women follow the same path – just that they respect themselves. And Taylor Swift seems to respect herself by not converting to the “celebrity sluts who think they’re great singers”. Neither do I care for the jaded “all men are dogs” singers. I just hope that Taylor keeps her sweetness for as long as she can. The world needs more of her and less trash.
CJ
Amen, sisters!

While I have no particular issue with Taylor Swift – not a fan of her music, probably because I’m a few years too old to relate to her music – I do believe there is a possibility of true equality. If there is one job, there should be one standard where people can try and fail regardless of their gender. Will the large part of nurturing occupations be dominated by women? Yes. Will the large part of the military be dominated by men? Yes. But that’s the price of equality.
And yes, I would step into a cage fight over it.
And just in case the androgynous pseudonym of mine leaves some confusion… I am, in fact, a female.
CJ
Hehe. I don’t don’t believe that there can ever be true equality. I don’t believe people should be discriminated against because of their gender, but I also don’t believe that the standards should be changed to accommodate either sex.
Michael in MI
I agree.
This article addresses that issue as well: So, The Wage Gap IS True. Only, It’s Men Who Earn Less
Seems as though the feminazis are not being truthful anymore regarding their incessant whining about “equality”.
Riley Carson
I suppose my idea of equality is just that – the opportunity to succeed and fail based on your own merit on the same tangible standard. I love the APFT. I make a solid 300+ on every scale – male or female.
I freakin’ love standards. They make me all warm and fuzzy on the inside. It means people have to back up what they say by actually doing something.

“That isn’t good enough for people who want to destroy the world and pretend that the sexes are equal in all ways, physical, mental and psychological.”
Sorry, but don’t “femenazis” exist because they believe that the sexes are NOT treated equally? Feminism has always had negative connotations for being extremist. But if you open your eyes and start paying attention to the media, and particularly how women are treated in the eyes of the law, you will begin to understand that there is a strong need for women like Jamie to point out the indifferences and blatant abuse of power by celebrities (not necessarily Ms. Swift) to oppress women. I urge you to please read more from the femenist perspective. There are some wonderful, fair sources out there like http://jezebel.com/.
We’re not trying to ruin the world. That would be silly. We just want to live in it without persecution.
CJ
See my previous comment.

Thank you for explaining feminism so well, Meaghan. I just took a peak at NewsRealBlog where Michael pulled his article from – tantamount to the type of misery that gets printed everyday, for which there is NO true research to back it up. -sigh-
No, women aren’t trying to run the world and I’m sorry for those men who have had unfortunate experiences with women. Calling us “feminazis” however, shows a fear of assertive, strong women. I’m also curious as to how the men who call us “feminazis” feel when they see their mothers, sisters, and daughters, get denied the same rights that men enjoy.
CJ
Exactly what rights do men enjoy that women do not?
courtney
As a female, I would also like someone to respond to this question.
I honestly can not think of any rights that I do not have, simply because of my gender.
Jin Ai
What rights? Think of beauty privilege, eating disorders and (potentially harmful) surgery and pressure to be attractive, double standards in dating and sex, lower wages for women in similar positions, rape culture and victim blaming, women’s constant fear of and “preventative measures” against rape, misogynistic jokes (facebook groups/”Woman in the kitchen”), slut shaming, the angel/demon dichotomy (all women are either pure and innocent (Taylor Swift) or evil sluts (Miley Cyrus) – not only are women completely one or the other, but there is nothing wrong with either), female infanticide, focus on appearance over intelligence, abortion/birth control rights, abuse, self-deprecation, sex advertising, …
et cetera.

sorry, edit: not only are women NOT completely one or the other
natalie@israel
she has really good voice and she looks good) ias for feminizm. i think only one kind of women can think in such way-women who failed to create good respectful relations with men.
Jin Ai
Also, you say that feminists want women to conform to our idea of an independent woman. Exactly the opposite! Feminists want to prevent women from having to conform to ANY ideal, whether it’s the virginal innocent, the slut, or the “feminist” stereotype who “flaunts her sexuality”. There’s nothing wrong with Swift’s being a pretty, in-love, confident young woman, but rather with her emphasis of woman as a love object waiting for a Prince Charming to give her life meaning. People can be in love, but nobody – woman OR man – should “depend on” anyone else to validate his or her existence. We’re people, not plants!
I think the fact that people feel so strongly about defending her pure, sweet image just shows that they view Swift not as a person but as an ideal.
An important point – since feminism is essentially about equality, we shouldn’t want to subjugate anybody. The man-haters exist, but they’re not representative of feminism and unfortunately have become the stereotype.
