Ah hypocrisy, sweet nectar of the liberal Left.
Country singer-turned-pop icon Taylor Swift, a.k.a. Lena Dunham's BFF, just caught a face-full of insults from some self-described “nasty women” after she tweeted her support for the Women’s March last Saturday. Because modern-day feminism is all about supporting women – except apparently, those deemed not "feminist" enough.
Here’s Swift’s tweet, in which she clearly tries to align herself with the hundreds of thousands of “feminists” who paraded around with graphic, profane signs last Saturday:
So much love, pride, and respect for those who marched. I'm proud to be a woman today, and every day. #WomensMarch

Personally, I'm still scratching my brain trying to figure out what all the screeching banshees were so upset about last Saturday (seriously, WHO is trying to take your “rights” away?). I’m also pretty confused at how marching down the street wearing a vagina costume and proclaiming your “p***y power” deserves “respect” from anyone.
Then again, I suppose my pro-life mother just raised me differently.
But perhaps most confusing of all is watching feminists turn on another feminist for being a feminist, because only certain kinds of feminism are truly feminist and must be expressed in certain feminist ways, according to feminists…or something.
Here are a few responses by those critical of Swift’s nod to feminism:
@taylorswift13 then why didn't you say anything during the presidential campaign when we could've made it so that this didn't have to happen

@taylorswift13 1 tweet and she back to being a feminist. Yet where have you been pic.twitter.com/1CSqSxQVjy
@taylorswift13 you got a bad leg or something? Why didn't you March?

Some tweets just got downright nasty:
.@taylorswift13 you have 83.1M followers and you didn't say a word. NOT A SINGLE WORD UNTIL IT BENEFITTED YOU YOUR IDEA OF FEMINISM IS TOXIC

@taylorswift13 no. Nope. Nup. Sorry but no no no no no. Your self serving white feminism isn't welcome... you never speak when it matters.

Snake Swift be quiet because you promote fake feminism. YOU ONLY SPEAK UP WHEN IT BENEFITS YOU. @taylorswift13 #TaylorSwift

One "feminist" even had the audacity to tweet out:
.@taylorswift13 there are little girls looking up to you - do better
— logan holman (@loganmaren_) January 22, 2017
Yep. Next time, Swift should "do better" by dressing up as a vulva and scream "F*** Trump!" while advocating for late-term abortions and protesting a free and democratic election.
After all, the little girls are watching.
