Taylor Swift: "Misogyny is ingrained in people from the time they are born"
Pundit Press ^ | 5/19/15 | Aurelius

In a newly released interview, Taylor Swift said that she believes “misogyny is ingrained in people from the time they are born."

Ms. Swift was heavily criticized by feminists in 2012 when she stated that the word "feminist" was "too strong" a word to describe her. In the last three years, however, her opinions have changed.

Today, Ms. Swift believes that feminism is “probably the most important" thing that women can get involved with. According to the young star, inequality is difficult to overcome because “misogyny is ingrained in people from the time they are born."

She continued, “So to me, feminism is probably the most important movement that you could embrace, because it’s just basically another word for equality."

Ms. Swift also said that women face a harsh double-standard, explaining, “A man writing about his feelings from a vulnerable place is brave; a woman writing about her feelings from a vulnerable place is oversharing or whining.”

Yep. Miley Cyrus, no matter what people say, twirked her skinny little butt all the way to the bank. Miley will be just fine. It’s all about the business! And Billy Ray is a showman who knows the business.

I would say she is a very good business woman. On par with Madonna.

She should have taken it back after he was done and said something like; “from the mouth of the gay fish!”
