Taylor Swift Perfectly Dragged a Netflix Show's Boring, Sexist Joke

It may be 2021, but apparently, some people are still living in the dark ages and think it's cool to make jokes about the number of people a woman has had relationships with. Case in point, an outdated and downright lazy attempt at humor from one of Netflix's original series Ginny & Georgia at the expense of singer-songwriter and passionate LGBTQ+ ally Taylor Swift. 

"What do you care? You go through men faster than Taylor Swift," reads a cringe-y AF line from an episode of the show, which started streaming in late February and follows the story of a 15-year-old, biracial high schooler named Ginny who moves to a fictional New England town with her single mother Georgia to start a new life.

This kind of slut-shamey humor that is often aimed at celebrity women (and hardly, if ever, at men) who publicly date is particularly ironic, especially since in the trailer for Ginny & Georgia, the Georgia character literally points out that "We live in a man's world and it is exhausting to exist in a world where you matter less." 

We all thought we could finally leave these double standards back in the past where they belong, but apparently, the writers of Ginny & Georgia didn't get the memo, and Taylor herself was quick to call it out.

"Hey Ginny & Georgia, 2010 called and it wants its lazy, deeply sexist joke back," Taylor took to Twitter, sharing a screenshot of the lame, unfunny line from the series. "How about we stop degrading hard-working women by defining this horse shit as FuNnY. Also, @netflix after Miss Americana this outfit doesn’t look cute on you. Happy Women’s History Month I guess." 

As sad as it is to still see weird double standards and jabs made at women, a ton of people were quick to see through Ginny & Georgia's BS and rightfully came to Taylor's defense. 

Maybe one day we'll be able to know peace. Unfortunately, today just isn't one of those days.
