Regardless of what you think about Media Matters, you’ve gotta love them for having a front page like this.
Dear Taylor Swift,
I’m sorry that the boy who is undoubtedly your eternal soul mate is dating Satan and not you. What does this boy see in a girl who wears high heels, short skirts, and is the cheer captain? Doesn’t he know that those are warning signs of a morally depraved female? Clearly you, a glasses-wearing, socially outcast, real teenage girl who presents herself modestly, are more deserving of attention from boys. You are obviously cut of a superior moral fabric than that harlot. Doesn’t she know it is not a woman’s place to embrace sexuality? She could end up like your friend Abigail from that other song, who had sex with a boy and therefore RUINED HER ENTIRE LIFE AND LOST EVERYTHING. Poor Abigail forgot that sexual purity is THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IN THE WORLD and now that she’s not a virgin, her moral character has been crushed into little tiny granules of dirty whore and all of the Jesus-glue in the world can’t save her. I sincerely hope that this boy whom you love so wholesomely and purely will one day see that he does indeed belong with you. Someday he’ll realize that women who don’t hide their vaginas away from the world like the precious, secret treasure that they are are trashy, mean, and shallow. It’s a fact of life. She is an evil temptress and he deserves better.
Best of luck,
Sally
can someone embroider this on a pillow?
all of the jesus glue in the world
That is the best line. This is the best thing.
“We need to reclaim the word ‘feminism’. We need the word ‘feminism’ back real bad. When statistics come in saying that only 29 per cent of American women would describe themselves as feminist - and only 42 per cent of British women - I used to think, What do you think feminism IS, ladies? What part of ‘liberation for women’ is not for you? Is it freedom to vote? The right not to be owned by the man you marry? The campaign for equal pay? ‘Vogue’, by Madonna? Jeans? Did all that good shit GET ON YOUR NERVES? Or were you just DRUNK AT THE TIME OF THE SURVEY?
These days, however, I am much calmer - since I realised that it’s technically impossible for a woman to argue against feminism. Without feminism, you wouldn’t be allowed to have a debate on women’s place in society. You’d be too busy giving birth on the kitchen floor - biting down on a wooden spoon, so as not to disturb the men’s card game - before going back to quick-liming the dunny. This is why those female columnists in the Daily Mail - giving daily wail against feminism - amuse me. They paid you £1,600 for that, dear, I think. And I bet it’s going in your bank account, and not your husband’s. The more women argue loudly, against feminism, the more they both prove it exists and that they enjoy its hard-won privileges.
