Taylor Swift: THE MUSIC INDUSTRY FOR WOMEN | Sexist Labels & Double Standards

Taylor Swift Explains The Music Industry For Women, Sexist Labels & Double Standards “If a woman shares her experience in writing, she's oversharing. And she's over-emotional or she might be crazy.” Feminist icon Taylor Swift has fought misogyny her entire career. “We do exist in this society where women in entertainment are discarded in an elephant graveyard by the time they're thirty-five.” Taylor Swift’s entire career has been plagued with sexism in a multitude of ways. From her constant criticism in the media and sexual assault to the loss of rights to songs she wrote and fighting to use her voice to speak up about politics, Swift has endured systemic misogyny since her emergence in the music industry. Drawing inspiration from situations in her own life, Swift has turned into a vocal feminist icon fighting for women’s place in all areas of the industry and the world. “I do not need some guy around in order to get inspiration, in order to make a great record, in order to live my life, in order to feel OK about myself. And I wanted to show my fans the same thing.”
