penelope featherington would’ve slayed so hard as a character if she went for the men of the ton as an anonymous gossip sheet. LIKE full anonymity and that kind of influence as a woman..just to regurgitate what the average member of the ton is already itching to say about young girls who can’t defend themself? like all the mystery and allure of the column just to humiliate and ruin WOMEN using the established rules of the PATRIARCHY?? WHATS even the point then?! countess boochie flagrant ass character
the video of taylor swift clubbing has more than 5 million likes on tiktok. again, clubbing. she can go out clubbing and post about it but can’t take a minute out of her day to speak up for palestine. you’re so unbelievably stupid if you even try to defend her silence. you’re also stupid if you try to label the people trying to hold her accountable as misogynistic or any other bullshit simply because they’re asking the bare minimum of your favorite celebrity. “what about beyoncé?” “what about justin bieber?” “what about all the other artists?” THEM TOO. but let’s not pretend that that she does not have the biggest platform in the world right now. how many people tuned in to watch the superbowl just because of her? how many people are talking about her upcoming album? how many people will attend her eras tour? how many already have? just think of the major shift she could cause if she simply uttered the word “ceasefire” or simply tweeted “free palestine”. some of you act as if we’re asking her to physically go out there and single-handedly stop this genocide. literally all we ask is that she speak up.
