Taylor Swift - The Voice of Her Generation? (by elliottsavedmylife)
Love this video/analysis. Am disgusted that the video clips they show at the end of children reenacting Taylor Swift’s video.
I’ve been really pissed off lately, but I suppose that’s irrelevant.
There are some sluts who live on my floor and I was telling my guy friends how I can’t stand them. One of the guys responded by saying, “Why? They’ve never done anything to you that merits you personally disliking them.”
WRONG.
That was when I suddenly realized why I am personally offended by sluts. Then I started thinking about demand and supply: people are willing to pay for what something is worth, until some idiot comes along who wants quick cash so he undersells his goods…then everybody starts wanting the goods for that cheap. Consequently, the price is lowered.
Well, if everyone was smart then everyone could make more money by selling what something is worth for the proper price. But there are some people who are so desperate to get it sold that they ruin it for everyone else.
It’s the same way with sluts. If every woman acted with respect and demanded that a guy treat her properly, then guys wouldn’t be able to walk around like assholes and treat women like objects. They do it because we LET them do it. They see some girls are sluts, so they think they don’t need to bother treating women with respect because they can still get what they want without all the bother of respecting a woman.
In other words, sluts RUIN IT FOR THE REST OF US.
There are those, like me, who REFUSE to undersell ourselves; we want to be treated properly. We want guys who will take us out, pay for dates, get to know us, and fall in love with us. But then a slut walks into the room, and all of the sudden I become invisible— she gets all the attention from all the guys every time.
I’m tired of it. Girls need to stop being slutty. I hate sluts.
”Why I Am Personally Offended By Sluts
Why do we have here? A special snowflake who wants to blame other women for the problems in their love lives?
The most ridiculous part of your miserable attempt to apply what is obviously a poor understanding of basic economics to dating is that you seem to assume that all the “products” - i.e., women - are the same. You’re basically saying that all women are just a pair of breasts and a pussy for men to fuck. There’s no difference between you and the so-called sluts, since men can freely switch from you to them without any loss in quality, since you and the sluts all have the same physical equipment anyway.
So all you are really after is the same thing men are after - sex; it’s just that you want some nice dates and free dinners whereas apparently the sluts are offering it for free. And then, hilariously, you not only wonder why no one wants to be with you - you know, with your obviously winning personality - but, as others have pointed out, you wonder why men objectify women, when you yourself objectify not only yourself, but your entire gender and the entire system of dating, reducing it to a crude game of commodity-based economics! This entry of yours is so farcical I wonder if you just wrote it to test your readers’ basic logic skills.
kudos to you for going around degrading other people to feel better about yourself. How can you hate a slut when you don’t even know them personally? What you hate is the fact that you feel threatened by it.
