Remember last week when all hell broke loose on the internet after Taylor Swift fans noticed that Netflix’s newest show, Ginny and Georgia, placed a pretty sexist (and TBH, extremely played-out) joke about their favorite singer in the script?
Okay so ICYMI. The title character Georgia Miller made the mistake of saying, “What do you care? You go through men faster than Taylor Swift.” Read more about it here: Taylor Swift Is Not Here For Netflix Shows “Deeply Sexist Joke” At Her Expense. Basically, OOOFF..
Taylor Swift—who casually has two exclusive projects on Netflix, caught wind of the joke and let her opinion on the matter be known:
Hey Ginny & Georgia, 2010 called and it wants its lazy, deeply sexist joke back. 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 pic.twitter.com/2X0jEOXIWp

Um, okay, so, shall we move on from this?
