sorryyourheinous said: Peculiar, don\u2019t you think?

and isn\u2019t it sardonic

but then you have stuff like this:

This was years before Billie Eilish protested music\u2019s sexualisation of women through bulky designer tracksuits, before Taylor Swift penned her first revenge song. Women like Imbruglia, Apple, Morissette, Sinead O\u2019Connor and Courtney Love presented themselves as they were: messy, uncontrollable and unprocessed. Performers who were without polish, with a reputation only for rageful, unapologetic expression.

Taylor Swift was six years old when Ironic hit the charts! Billie Eilish wasn\u2019t even born until after 9/11! it\u2019s that thing where each generation has to repeat history because of course it does, it wasn\u2019t there for the first go around!

In fairness, in the late 90s Taylor Swift was listening to and being inspired by Shania Twain, why do you think she got started in pop-country?

I mean I guess in Man! I Feel Like A Woman even she mentions wearing men’s shirts, but the full line is men’s shirts, short skirts, which is an amusing resonance with the she wears short skirts/I wear t-shirts from YBWM
