Taylor Swift's 'Not So Swift' Battle for Solidarity. "Take something to Capitol hill or actually speak out about something and then I'll be impressed."
In a world of raging feminists and
humanists, an eerie silence has taken over. All for the one woman, an icon to
so many young girls, who has remained silent for so long. If you still don’t
know who I am talking about, then let me tell you: Taylor Swift. Ring a bell?
Didn’t think so. Her life has always been a topic of discussion of late, from her songs about her exes to her recent enmity with Katy Perry.
Taylor Swift has sued the well known,
much hyped artist DJ Mueller for groping her inappropriately in a meet and
greet event back in 2013. She is heading into a legal battle as an act of
solidarity for all the women in and out of the music industry. Groping is
sexual and this is wrong. Nobody can get away with it, famous or not. This
woman, who has been called out for dating life and her several choices has been
met with silence, even with from “Swift squad”.
She has been
known to be silent during issues the world has gone gaga over. She has even
been criticised for not participating in Women’s March. During
Ke$ha’s battle a
few years ago, instead of voicing her support, she actually went ahead and
helped her out by donating $250,000 two days after the judge denied her
injunction. She was widely shamed for her silence, even after donation. By so
many, including Demi Lovato who tweeted, “Take something
to Capitol Hill or actually speak out about something and then I’ll be impressed.”
Mueller has been fired after receiving the lawsuit. In
return, he sued Swift for $3 million dollars for defamation. Swift sued him for
$1 to prove that this is not about the money. This is about all the girls who
has to go through this monstrosity and they should not sit quiet. They should
come forward to make sure that these monsters are well behind bars facing
enough punishment to never dare think of this ever.

Honestly, I admire this woman. I admire her for strength
and patience. Because no matter what she does, she never usually can win. Her
actions and her choices are attacked by criticisms. And now when she finally
needs the support, the world is silent. I was under the impression that, the
world where I live in and in the age, feminists were loud and defensive. But
never before, have I heard silence so loud.
I am scared and rightfully so.
