I am once again begging you to please put on a PJ Harvey album
the thing about taylor swift is that she so perfectly encapsulates through her lyrics, the interior lives of women. It's why we all can't stop listening. We're all saying, "wait you felt that way? we were all feeling this way?"
do men have someone like that?

I am so exhausted by “quiet luxury” and “stealth wealth” pieces like for fucks sakes just build a pyramid, wear a bejewelled lobster, and call it a day. Let’s call this shit what it really is: PROTESTANTISM.
I am so sorry, but we are not calling it "stealth wealth" when the tension between garish nouveau riche parvenus and discreet wealth has been a thing since we invented the merchant class.

1. Not everything done by women is automatically feminist.

If it were really that easy for people to avoid abusive relationships (you can be “discerning”, or “feminist”, or “take no shit all you want…), people would do that. Nobody expects that they’ll be in an abusive dynamic until they’re actually in one.

Idk, maybe I’m just badly Catholic, but you can’t incentivize a kind of social, financial, and romantic martyrdom (with a heavy dose of youth and innocence) & then tell women they’re at fault when they’re locked in Bluebeard’s Castle as done up by Madison Avenue in the 1950s.
pick a better man to submit to. You have power in your choice of husband and this doesn’t mean the entire trad movement is at fault - it’s your own lack of discernment.

1. Slavery isn’t over, it still exists worldwide.
2. Haiti was a country that fought a war to end slavery, and did so before the American Civil War even started.
3. American interference (an understatement) in Libya led to slave markets being RE-OPENED.
When slavery began on these shores we weren’t America, we were England. Within one generation of independence we fought A WAR to end it, the only nation in history to do so. Your party (the party of slavery) has replaced physical shackles with mental, emotional and financial ones

Criticism became an extension of PR, and there was a period where we split the difference between craft, social implications, and “how the sausage was made”. A number of acts coasted by on people putting acts into a socio-political context that they *really* did not deserve.
