Taylor Swift’s new “The Man” video exposes the f*ckboy mindset.

Imagine if all the pickmes in this video suddenly became FDS'ers: no more unearned admiration, effortless sexual access, a personal audience that always strokes men like this. What if all these women decided they didn't want to be objectified, that they had value other than their bodies, that they had too much dignity and loyalty to crawl over the backs of other women just to get attention from worthless men? LVM like this would be brought down to earth hard and fast. "What? I have to make an effort to be a decent person and give as good as I take? The horror! So unfair!" This is why men are so disturbed by and hostile to the FDS philosophy: it threatens to dismantle the unearned platform of privilege they've been relying on all their lives, solely through a societal consensus of women that we demand better. They should be terrified.

The part with the hands high fiving him after sex, world’s best dad just for picking up the baby and the 50 years later when he married his grand daughter age mate, were so on point. Smh, Fuck patriarchy.

Low-key love this. The ending made me laugh

Great video. What irritated me the most was the "great father" scenes. The bar for men as parents is the fucking floor. They do *anything* to help with their own children and they are praised.

O shit, its my ex husband. This would be a little easier to enjoy if it wasn't so on point.

I loved this song from the second Lover released and this video is everything I imagined it would be. The ending is perfect.

I am very much not a fan of pop music so I usually care very little about popstars, but I'm not gonna lie...I pretty much knew Taylor Swift was great when it became popular to shit on her for writing songs about her ex boyfriends and all sorts of other bullshit they could come up with. My favorite cringe diss for her is "white feminist", they also love to claim she's a mean girl, lol. A really liberal feminist leaning site I used to post on before I got too sick of them has a commentariat who loves to shit on her. Because who you gonna shit on in a place like that that's SO liberal they've somehow circled back to conservative anti woman trash, if not not a successful young white woman? Easy target! And when she would do great stuff they'd preface it with Now, I HATE Taylor Swift, but... They also loved to shit on her choice of boyfriend cause he's a "bland white boy" Just, you know very feminist commentary.🙄

Meanwhile, I'm constantly reading about her giving back to her fans, being close with a lot of them, taking a man to court for groping her to publicly shame that dumb misogynist, giving court money to survivors of male abuse like Kesha, pulling all sorts of boss stunts..this video included. But that's apparently all nothing cause she's a shrewd businesswoman too and also she's not a 100% perfect faultless android who is besties with everyone in the world. The way these people talked about her really, REALLY made me see internalized misogyny for what it is. They all claimed to be feminists but you could tell they thought she was "too uppity". Like, they were soooo uncomfortable with the power she has now and how she uses it for herself. Lol, fuck you all. This was awesome.

edit - Oh and btw take a second to like the video. LVM are already crying, ragetyping, jerking off and downvoting. In that order. It's a glorious day. 😆

I love it, I’ve heard the song and I loved it but I hadn’t seen the video before.

I love Taylor Swift now. Wow. I am glad she made the video, but it was still painful to watch, you know? It exposes just a HINT of reality, and I still felt bad after watching it.

Life would be easier as a man.

The train scene! I catch the train to work everyday and the amount of women I see squeezed up so a man can take up half of the women's seat is astonishing. These guys also like to text like they're doing the chicken dance, elbowing you in the side the whole journey.

Women need to refuse to crumple themselves up for these guys - I used to and I'd be in a bunch of back and hip pain from it at the end of my journey (hour and a half each way)

I love it!!😂

I just dated this guy. Wow. What a laughable, bloviating clown. So full of his own importance. Love the ending.

PsychedelicDoc · 2020-02-28T00:27:29+00:00

Every man. Ever. They're born and raised to have everything handed to them. Full stop. I love her for doing this. Dang, she was a little girl for so long and look at her!! I'm so proud of millennial women like her!

The Miss Americana documentary was amazing too. Highly recommend it
