Frankly, I don’t care if you don’t like Taylor Swift. It shouldn’t matter. Feminism is about gaining equal economic, political and cultural rights for all women, regardless of your personal views of them.

Taylor Swift is currently being sued by Colorado DJ David Mueller for accusing him of lifting her skirt during a meet-and-greet and touching her butt, causing him to lose his job. Now the notion that “Taylor Swift sues everyone” (per Google suggested results) has become a meme. Tumblr users are incorporating Swift’s lyrics into a nonchalant post and following them by a full citation. I understand that the result is not intentional, but when they disregard a fellow woman in a matter concerning feminism, they create double standards within an important movement feminists claim to be a part of. We must no longer acknowledge the posts as just a joke.

Feminists are quick to defend strangers on the internet who accuse people of harassment, but the moment it comes to a celebrity, they make a joke out of it, repeating the same “she’s just doing it for attention” or “she just wants money” that they argue against in other cases. Of course, you have freedom of speech in this country, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t consequences to what you say, or post. Although the meme may seem like a harmless joke, it destroys your credibility as a feminist, and it taints the definition of feminism that the world sees. How can we strenuate the inclusion of all women in the feminist movement when there are some who so upfrontly disregard Taylor Swift’s claims? These claims now become not “all women,” but all women whom we personally care for.

Although I must give credit to those who have been sticking up for women people of color, trans women, and women of any sexuality, you cannot undermine these efforts so simply by not supporting a woman who has accused someone of harassment because you’re not a fan of hers.

This isn’t the first time Swift has dealt with sexism; Swift has dealt with the oh-no-she’ll-write-a-song-about-you’s for years while male artists like Bruno Mars or Justin Timberlake are applauded for writing about their relationships. But this is different. Swift can handle the haters, as she’s proved in her single from 1989 “Shake It Off,” but now we’re allowing our opinions on women to determine whether or not we will include them in our movement.

This lack of consistency is hurting feminism, and it’s about time we support all women like we claim to. No ifs, ands or buts.
