Taylor Swift Is Finally Paying the Price For Professional Victimhood.

From Heatstreet via H/T at Instapundit:

It's not just college campuses where the will to power derives from victimhood in 21st Century America.

Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the past twenty four hours, you will have seen the social media altercation occurring between Kim Kardashian and Taylor Swift.

Rebuffing the claims that Taylor was victimised by Kanye West with his lyrics in the song “Famous”, Kim Kardashian posted a recording on Snapchat, showing that Swift approved the song, and even found it flattering.

Swift’s representatives were quick to come back at this, saying that Taylor did not approve the specific lyrics, and that she wanted to be “removed from this narrative”.

Unfortunately for Taylor, with fame comes a price, and after so many years of concocting a carefully constructed public image of victimhood, she is now getting a righteous taste of her own medicine.

The drama is never-ending, and a nice little earner for Swift, whose hits are mainly inspired by real-world break-ups.

This public playbook has been years in the making, and goes like this: Taylor is the poor girl who always gets dumped (then her album gets bought by millions of girls who have, in fact, been dumped, apart from Swift who dumped Harris on the phone).

And it’s taken someone with a bigger following to completely crush her image.

Wait it's legit National Snake Day?!?!?They have holidays for everybody, I mean everything these days! 🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍

Swift is learning – very publicly – what has been always been clear: if you play the victimhood card too many times, it will eventually come back to bite you.

I never understood her constant retreat into victimhood. She is the envy of just about any woman out there. She's very attractive, tall (reportedly 6'-0"), rich, famous, and very talented.

It does confirm one thing, she is bat-shit crazy and someone no male could ever make happy and have a beneficial relationship with.

Measure To Force Women To Sign Up For Draft Passes House Panel

From The Daily Caller:

A provision to force women to sign up for the draft just narrowly cleared the House Committee on Armed Services, passing an important hurdle in the legislative process Wednesday.

This provision, originally introduced by GOP Rep. Duncan Hunter as a way of pointing out the logical implication of allowing women serving in combat roles, would mandate that women, just like men, sign up for Selective Service within 30 days of turning 18, Military Times reports.
.............

Women have been excluded from the draft because they were excluded from combat roles. Now that Secretary of Defense Ash Carter has turned that arrangement on its head, opening up all combat roles to women in December, the justification for not drafting women has evaporated.

Hunter wasn’t about to wait to let the Pentagon or White House decide on the matter, which is why he introduced the measure, although he is in principle opposed to allowing women in combat roles and has been a stringent critic of Carter’s decision. The measure is his way of pointing out the absurdity.

“Right now the draft is sexist. Right now the draft only drafts young men,” Hunter said, according to The Washington Examiner.

Waiting for feminist's heads to explode.

Feminist Teacher's Lesson Plan -- Discriminate against Boys

From The American Thinker Blog:

Reported recently was that Keller, a kindergarten "teacher" at Captain Johnston Blakely Elementary in Bainbridge Island, Wash., was refusing to let the boys in her class play with Legos during free play time. As the Bainbridge Island Review (BIR) wrote:

In Karen Keller's kindergarten classroom, boys can't play with Legos.

They can have their pick of Tinkertoys and marble tracks, but the colorful bricks are "girls only."

"I always tell the boys, 'You're going to have a turn' — and I'm like, 'Yeah, when hell freezes over' in my head," she said. "I tell them, 'You'll have a turn' because I don't want them to feel bad."

If you're acquainted with the mental illness masquerading as teaching philosophy today, you can imagine this woman's problem.

This woman needs to be sued under Title IX. That would be entertaining.

Objectified by the Male Gaze

From The Other McCain:

Feminists have deliberately created a climate of fear in schools, universities and workplaces, where any male who dares so much as speak to a woman is at risk of devastating accusations that he has “harassed” her. Even if he has done nothing that could plausibly be viewed as “hitting on” her, the male who says or does anything that a woman finds “unwelcome” or “offensive” could be charged with fostering discriminatory conditions. This involves what is known as the “hostile environment” theory of sexual harassment, which views any expression of male heterosexuality as a potential source of discrimination against women. ................ Dr. Patai called attention to how feminist discourse about “harassment” expressed a hostility toward normal male behavior, based in radical theories that interpret heterosexuality per se as oppressive to women.

This anti-male attitude — “Fear and Loathing of the Penis” — is pervasive within the academic institutions of the Feminist-Industrial Complex. In American universities, Women’s Studies programs and other forms of feminist advocacy are protected from critical scrutiny by Title [IX] legislation, which has been interpreted in such a way that criticizing feminism can itself be considered evidence of discriminatory intent. Women’s Studies professors and other feminist activists on university campuses are effectively exempt from opposition or criticism, and thus are free to promote outright hatred of males without anyone being able to condemn them for it. The 21st-century campus is overtly hostile to males, a hostility evident in the fact that males are now a minority (43%) of college students. Universities now punish males on the basis of mere suspicion of “sexual misconduct,” defined so broadly as to include every possible expression of male heterosexuality. Ordinary flirtation is rapidly becoming a lost art because it is strongly discouraged, if not altogether prohibited, by these policies.

Professor Glenn Harlan Reynold, of Instapundit fame, said "If you understand that feminism is, in part, a leveling mechanism used by less-attractive women against more-attractive women, it will make sense."

Rush Limbaugh called it around 1987, Undeniable Truth #24, "Feminism was established so as to allow unattractive women easier access to the mainstream."
