As reported by Music News Taylor Swift has laid into Netflix bosses and writers behind TV show Ginny & Georgia for including a “deeply sexist” joke about her love life in the season one finale.
The pop superstar’s fans initially took issue with the throwaway line on Sunday night after viewing episode 10 of the comedy-drama, which focuses on the life of a mixed-race teenager and her young mother in a fictional New England town.
The instalment in question was written by creator Sarah Lampert and Debra J. Fisher, and featured the mother and daughter arguing about relationships, as 15-year-old Ginny quipped: “What do you care? You go through men faster than Taylor Swift.”
Taylor Swift has fought a long battle against sexist comments from the media. Despite being one of the biggest names in commercial Music, the conversation around Taylor swift constantly centres around the men in her life both past and present.
Defining a woman by her relationships to men is deeply and intensely problematic. Swift has worked hard to establish herself as a talented songwriter and award winning artist, yet still somehow finds herself battling the same sexist comments.
