![]() ![]() How about we stop degrading hard working women by defining this… as funny. Swift wrote “Hey Ginny & Georgia, 2010 called and it wants its lazy, deeply sexist joke back. When speaking on her mother’s past dating habits, Ginny, the teenage protagonist, exclaims “You go through men faster than Taylor Swift.” Though she may not be new to these sly remarks, Swift did not stay silent, as she took to Twitter to clap back at the shows writing and Netflix. SWIFTY JOKES SERIESThe current number-one Netflix show is a mother-daughter drama series that has gained major attention since its arrival to the streaming site on February 24 of this year. While the critics have seemingly cooled off in recent years, the same, overused joke reappeared in the newly released Netflix show Ginny & Georgia. They’re all writing songs about their exes, their current girlfriends, their love life, and no one raises the red flag there.” And I think frankly that’s a very sexist angle to take.
