So, a woman has to have kids and married to be a role model?🤦‍♂️

[u/miauguau44]

Meanwhile Lauren Boebert was a grandmother at 36.

[u/brannon1987 → u/miauguau44]

In their eyes, she's the perfect role model. She got pregnant early and made sure her kid followed suit.

[u/HermaeusMajora → u/brannon1987]

There's that and then all the meth she's been doing.

[u/brannon1987 → u/HermaeusMajora]

And the groping in a public theater on camera

[u/lagx777 → u/brannon1987]

While vaping

[u/Free-Initiative-7957 → u/lagx777]

In front of children, after being asked to stop by the pregnant lady who was concerned about inhaling whatever the trash was partaking of. And then posted about it, joking as if she thought she did the show a favor by giving them a shout out, instead of having any sense of shame or decency about ruining the night for the audience as well blatantly disrespecting the entire cast, crew and venue by acting like an unconscionable fool.

[u/Capones_Vault → u/Free-Initiative-7957]

And not a peep from her party. Trash, all of them.

[u/Sloth_grl → u/Capones_Vault]

I just realized that no one talks shit about the guy. Why isn’t he being called out on his behavior? Why aren’t people criticizing him? Even I wasn’t and I’m a woman.

[u/Capones_Vault → u/Sloth_grl]

He's trash too but he's not representing the "family values party" like she does.

[u/Sloth_grl → u/Capones_Vault]

Good point.

[u/bazilbt → u/Sloth_grl]

He isn't a member of congress

[u/Wise-Juggernaut-8285 → u/Sloth_grl]

Nobody really knows him hes not a prominent figure

[u/koolaid_snorkeler → u/lagx777]

And that "do you know who I am?" shit. Very classy stuff, around the trailer park.

[u/lagx777 → u/koolaid_snorkeler]

Honey, that's trashy for the trailer park!

[u/NeevBunny → u/brannon1987]

Isn't her boyfriend or husband or whatever he is also a pedophile? Seems like the earliest possible pregnancy is something they're trying to push on all fronts

[u/zeptillian → u/NeevBunny]

They are trying to lower the age of consent. 

They want women married off by age 14 like the Taliban.

[u/ThatScaryBeach → u/zeptillian]

Republicans are working on 12. 12 years old is a child.

[u/alolanalice10 → u/ThatScaryBeach]

14 is a child too but 12 is unthinkable

[u/ThatScaryBeach → u/alolanalice10]

Indeed, why is lowering the age of consent such an important part of the Republican agenda? We get they hate taxes, we get they don't want gun restrictions, but why do they need to lower the age of consent so badly?

[u/alolanalice10 → u/ThatScaryBeach]

(We know why)

[u/HotType4940 → u/ThatScaryBeach]

Because they want to have sex with children. Hope that clears it up for you.

[u/NeevBunny → u/zeptillian]

Please lol 14 is probably an old hag by Bobert's husband's standards.

[u/totally-hoomon → u/NeevBunny]

Yep she let's pedophiles be around kids

[u/BewBewsBoutique → u/brannon1987]

She married the dude who flashed her when she was a child, for them she’s “proof” that the way they treat women and children “works.”

[u/driverman42 → u/brannon1987]

And I hear she's great with hand jobs, especially when children are present.

[u/randomwanderingsd → u/driverman42]

Yankme Doodle

[u/Manuels-Kitten → u/brannon1987]

The gran of my stepdad who became a grandmom at 31 (had first at 16, that kid had a kid at 13) would be his role model lol 💀

[u/Soggy_Difficulty_361 → u/brannon1987]

Pretty low bar set, to give more credit to a woman for doing essentially what is a natural process while discrediting another for her achievements and talent.

[u/Satanicjamnik → u/miauguau44]

While giving a dry handjob to some dude in a public place while vaping. Virgin Mary is envious of her virtue.

[u/Free-Initiative-7957 → u/Satanicjamnik]

On a first (and last, because at least he had sense enough to be embarrassed when he sobered up) date no less.

[u/Melificarum → u/Satanicjamnik]

A lot of Republican women can relate.

[u/chilo_W_r → u/Satanicjamnik]

Juicing the Beetle, if you will

[u/Raskel_61 → u/Satanicjamnik]

She's emulating the other Mary.

[u/CapAccomplished8072 → u/Raskel_61]

No , I am quite sure that one cheated on Joseph

[u/lorax1284 → u/CapAccomplished8072]

"Oh, that shepherd? The lean, muscular one who works in the fields all day? Nah, he had nothing to do with it, he was just a witness. Yeah. He saw god force himself on me and make me pregnant. It's god! What choice did I have?!?"

[u/ImMeliodasKun → u/Raskel_61]

Anti-Virgin Mary?

[u/nescko → u/miauguau44]

The same people that vote for a trash human like Boebert are the same ones who look down upon women over 30 who don’t have kids or aren’t married because they aren’t fulfilling their “traditional duties” in their eyes. It hurts their frail ideology that women can’t be happy unless they’re a bangmaid

[u/Ok-Rabbit1878 → u/nescko]

“…who look down upon white (and some subgroups of Asian, because they’re fetishized) women over 30 who don’t have kids or aren’t married…”

They have very different feelings and rhetoric towards Black and Brown women who are married or have children young.

[u/MohatmoGandy → u/miauguau44]

Married a pedophile who exposed himself to her when she was a minor. Got pregnant and dropped out off school to have a shotgun wedding. Later seen jerking a man off in a crowded theater. The absolute best role model for young girls, because she’s white and she pushes out the children.

[u/lorax1284 → u/MohatmoGandy]

and don't forget that she's literally shameless and will say and do anything, even when saying it makes her 100% a hypocrite.

[u/-Opinionated- → u/MohatmoGandy]

I’m not American but i started following some American politics when Obama ran for president because “a black man vs white woman” either one was be a first.

Then i started seeing Lauren boebert videos on reddit. I thought she was a caricature by the left for the longest time. There’s no way someone like this could be actually politically relevant.

Welp.

[u/el-conquistador240 → u/miauguau44]

Idiocracy was not supposed to be an instructional video

[u/Beneficial_Mix_8803 → u/miauguau44]

And gave her small children guns for Christmas. So very role model.

[u/Sheknowswhothisis]

Why are all entertainers expected to be role models?

[u/Caesar_Passing → u/Sheknowswhothisis]

As a kid, I never got the concept of "role models". For all their many faults and mixed messages, my parents drove home the virtue that we each live and do what we do, to be ourselves. Like, other kids have different rules that they live by. That's because they have different lives, different parents, different things are more or less important for them (values), and so on. I guess in short, the "run your own race" sentiment. I was also in karate for a long time, where the prevailing ideology is that the person you should be trying to be better than, is yesterday's you.

[u/Lizard_Friend_44 → u/Caesar_Passing]

I never really understood it, either. There's people that I admire for one reason or another, but to call them role models? To act like they have to do everything right and never make a mistake? To bring up another pop star, I grew up loving Britney Spears and her music. My parents never complained about her performances or anything she did. She wasn't raising me, my parents were.

[u/Caesar_Passing → u/Lizard_Friend_44]

Well said. I kinda feel like, if you're worried about other people being role models for your kid, you might want to reassess your parenting approach, lol. But maybe that's not entirely fair, I don't know. My parents put a lot of wild expectations on me, but none of them were to be "like" someone else.

[u/alolanalice10 → u/Lizard_Friend_44]

These people do not want to “raise their kids” lol that involves work

[u/Latter-Direction-336 → u/Caesar_Passing]

As a kid, I seldom looked up to anyone as a role model

Occasionally hiccup from httyd and Optimus prime, from TF Prime and a few other series but not usually other kids. Mostly because I was the oldest at my daycare by like 5-8 years but still

[u/Ffdmatt → u/Caesar_Passing]

The people who don't have that support are the ones most susceptible. Turns out you can solve a lot of problems by being fully present for your children.

[u/NoMarionberry8940 → u/Sheknowswhothisis]

I would argue that as an independent, self made billionaire, Swift could be an excellent role model for anyone.

[u/consort_oflady_vader → u/NoMarionberry8940]

Because goddess forbid young girls see a self made, woman billionaire. The horror! /s

[u/LadyReika → u/consort_oflady_vader]

For a lot of these incels it is because it makes them even more irrelevant and they can't stand that because they refuse to reflect on why they get rejected.

[u/lagx777 → u/consort_oflady_vader]

Nice. I personally prefer "Yoda forbid". Lol

[u/maybe_steel8175 → u/consort_oflady_vader]

Self made billionaires don't exist. She grew up in a mansion, and every business in existence makes its money solely from the exploitation of its workers.

[u/Useful-Soup8161 → u/maybe_steel8175]

She’s not a business though, and she pays her employees better than average. She’s also an outlier because she’s the only person to become a billionaire just off of music.

[u/Green_Ad7786 → u/NoMarionberry8940]

No one is an independent self made billionaire

[u/Catsdrinkingbeer → u/Sheknowswhothisis]

Agreed. I remember growing up and having to write "who is your role model" type essays. I ALWAYS wrote about someone I knew personally. If I picked someone famous it was someone who was famous for doing something role model-esque, like Sally Ride or something. 

That's not to say musicians or actors or athletes can't ALSO be role models. But their profession alone doesn't make them role models. And it shouldn't have to. That's not their job.

[u/Lemonz4us → u/Sheknowswhothisis]

Like it or not, someone with that much fame does have a ton of influence.

[u/No-Fishing5325]

Last month they were attacking Dolly Parton because she never had kids. She has done more to make sure other people's kids have a better shot at life than many parents do with their own kids.

[u/baronesslucy → u/No-Fishing5325]

My thing is, why do these people care. How does the fact that Dolly Parton never have children adversely affected their lives? It doesn't affect their lives.

[u/DangerousTurmeric → u/baronesslucy]

They are terrified that more women will figure out that they can live outside of the rigid roles the christofascists have set out for them and then the supply of bangmaid-mommies will dry up, and along with it the pipeline of new babies to brainwash into their "faith".

[u/SergeantPoopyWeiner → u/DangerousTurmeric]

LOL bang maid mommies.

[u/Amelaclya1 → u/No-Fishing5325]

Honestly they probably hate that Dolly promotes literacy. People who read don't tend to stay conservative.

[u/No-Fishing5325 → u/Amelaclya1]

You are not wrong

[u/DrSendy]

More accurate headline: "Publication no one cares about anymore tries to be edgelords, 10 years after being an edgelord was cool".

[u/ATurtleLikeLeonUris → u/DrSendy]

30 years

[u/Fit_Excitement_2145 → u/DrSendy]

Plot twist being an edgelord was never really all that cool

[u/LillyL4444]

Written by a dude who thinks that a felon with 3 baby mommas is a good role model and Presidential material…

[u/JadeStratus → u/LillyL4444]

Bingo

[u/Captn_Insanso → u/JadeStratus]

That’s a bingo!!!

[u/thesilentbob123 → u/Captn_Insanso]

You just say bingo

[u/BEX436 → u/thesilentbob123]

How exciting!!!

[u/DFX1212 → u/thesilentbob123]

Is that from a movie? I feel like I can almost picture it from a movie.

Like, we just say manager, not mr. manager from Arrested Development.

[u/thesilentbob123 → u/DFX1212]

It's from 'inglorious bastards'

[u/squigglesthecat → u/thesilentbob123]

Bingpot!

[u/No-Fishing5325 → u/LillyL4444]

And he is a serial adulterer.

[u/firstman0 → u/LillyL4444]

You have to breed with as many women as possible to show your alpha-ness…./s….. lol

[u/NoMarionberry8940 → u/firstman0]

Yet, women should confine their breeding to ONE man....

[u/10Rap → u/NoMarionberry8940]

How hard is that to follow? /s

[u/NoMarionberry8940 → u/10Rap]

Impossible!

[u/Hekatonkheire81 → u/NoMarionberry8940]

They use this weird argument of efficiency to defend it too. When would we ever be in a situation where a man had to rapidly impregnate as many women as possible? If it ever came to that, whatever killed off that many men would be the bigger problem.

[u/Spirited-Slice-2626 → u/firstman0]

And then of course complain about how unfair child support is…

[u/Unique_Anywhere5735 → u/LillyL4444]

A proven sexual abuser as well.

[u/SinfullySinless → u/LillyL4444]

Hey hey hey- Trump is a man. Men can date around all they want to. IT IS THE WOMEN WE MUST MARRY OFF INSTANTLY. /s

[u/mi-chreideach → u/LillyL4444]

Who was the incel that wrote the misogynistic trash? I don't want to give Newsweek the click.

[u/modest-pixel → u/mi-chreideach]

John Mac Ghlionn, do yourself a favor and look up images of him and everything will make sense.

[u/mi-chreideach → u/modest-pixel]

Yikes! Yep, it makes sense. Dude would be ideal to have in your house during the summer because nothing is wet around him.

* Apparently, he also writes for the cult newspaper, the Epoch Times. Why is Newsweek stooping that low?

[u/Unique_Anywhere5735 → u/mi-chreideach]

Because they're Newsweek. Always right-wing.

[u/Ok-Cauliflower1798 → u/Unique_Anywhere5735]

Very true, but in the past few years they have veered from “dental practice waiting room right-wing” to Epoch Times fascist trash lunacy.

[u/davi1521 → u/modest-pixel]

he looks like a serial killer

[u/FakeNavyDavey → u/mi-chreideach]

I'm wondering the same thing and in the same dilemma

[u/galstaph → u/LillyL4444]

And also calls Eurovision out for being too progressive

What was once a stage for showcasing musical talent has transformed into a platform where the bizarre reigns supreme, where men can identify as women, and vice versa, in a circus-like freak show.

[u/ExactDevelopment4892]

So does that mean single, unmarried men in their 30s are also bad role models?

[u/blackandtangoose → u/ExactDevelopment4892]

Right? Where is the article about unmarried, childless Travis Kelce being a shit role model?

[u/baronesslucy → u/blackandtangoose]

A issue was made of Taylor Swift dating several different men in a couple of years. The author or the article didn't made an issue of men celeb who I'm sure have dated or slept with several women over the course of a couple of years.

[u/KnightofShaftsbury → u/ExactDevelopment4892]

Don't know about all men in their 30s, but I definitely know I am

[u/Immediate_Towel3579]

I ain't a swiftie but this is by far the worst article I have read in a while

[u/Big-Improvement-1281 → u/Immediate_Towel3579]

Like there are a ton of reasons I don’t think she’s a great role model (most celebrities aren’t and that’s fine) but this isn’t one of them

[u/Feminazghul]

"Unrepentantly single and childless billionaire Taylor Swift started her songwriting career in her teens. She is probably a witch and certainly a bad role model for impressionable girls who should be waiting for their fathers to marry them off to a mature man who can care for them. For example, a man who writes opinion pieces in Newsweek. Also, I can't stop cranking it over pictures of her and that's entirely her fault."

Keep reducing women to a reproductive function, assholes.

[u/DharcDaniel → u/Feminazghul]

Honestly, it's better to not bring up a child in Hollywood in today's age. So many freaks and weirdos in the industry who would love to do absolutely deplorable things to them. That, and most kids aren't built for that much exposure/popularity. A big reason why a lot of child actors turn into messes in their early 20s.

[u/Thowitawaydave]

You know who else doesn't have kids? Dolly Parton, and she's a goddamn treasure.

[u/femwithcrown → u/Thowitawaydave]

I would guess that he doesn't like Dolly either. So really we should not care about a single word written by a douche like that

[u/barleyoatnutmeg → u/femwithcrown]

Based off a comment from someone else who said the quthor of the article is a trump supporter, a better example would be what he thinks of Laura Ingraham from Fox news who doesn't have any biological children and is not married

[u/The-Doggy-Daddy-5814]

Me: A 34 year old woman who is married, has children and is a stay at home mother is a good role model?

Them: Yes.

Me: I’d like you to meet my lesbian friend who fits your requirements.

Them: Wait. That’s not what I meant.

[u/GreenTea169 → u/The-Doggy-Daddy-5814]

she cant be lesbian it goes against the Lord's word /s

[u/MindlessApple845]

Hey, it’s 2024.

*proceeds to write the most socially conservative, backwards article for no reason other than to push a patriarchal narrative for the sake of no one other than themselves.

Fuck THIS GUY

[u/mabhatter → u/MindlessApple845]

I'm sure No one has F*d this guy without cash up front for a long time.  

[u/Mattdude311]

Corporate America needs you to have those children!! 💰💰💰💰💰

[u/NPC-4 → u/Mattdude311]

are we still calling em children? when will we start call em dept fractals?

[u/31November → u/NPC-4]

I call them tax write-offs.

[u/Far-Host7803]

Wamen were meant to breed, not succeed. /s

[u/FoxyInTheSnow]

What the fuck, Newsweek?

I don’t think she’s a particularly great role model either, but you really shouldn’t be attacking women for not getting married and popping out babies…

… oh, MacGhlionn is a “family values” advocate who writes for Epoch Times.

[u/RoughDirection8875]

Nobody ever said shit like this about Betty White and she was definitely someone to look up to. And what about Dolly Parton? She has no kids, yet she is what I would consider an amazing role model.

[u/eatmyfatwhiteass → u/RoughDirection8875]

That's because other people tried in interviews and got raked over the coals with class. They weren't women to fuck around with.

[u/brought2light → u/RoughDirection8875]

They attacked Dolly last week.

[u/RoughDirection8875 → u/brought2light]

Oh shit, I hadn't seen that. Well I'm sure they got torn to shreds on the internet for that, at least I hope so.

[u/VanderHoo → u/RoughDirection8875]

Source Article: There’s Nothing Loving About Dolly Parton’s False Gospel

TL;DR Jesus does not agree with "love everybody the same". Jesus clearly hates gay people, abortion, and anyone that normalizes the existence of such. Dolly also doesn't praise Trump - Jesus says that's a red flag.

[u/CapAccomplished8072]

She encouraged her fans to vote....and that made her critics LIVID

[u/Hero-myth]

Remember when Jesus got married and had all of those kids?

[u/Connect_Cap_8548 → u/Hero-myth]

Excuse me, I do not appreciate you disrespecting my Lord and Savior by leaving out the part where he gave his sons machine guns and told them to always vote conservative. /s

[u/ScottdaDM]

"If your kid needs a role model, and you ain't it, you're both fucked."

---George Carlin

As true now as the day he said it.

[u/thethirdbestmike]

In his next column, he will write how Trump is a role model. You know, the guy with 34 felonies and loves raping kids.

[u/TdrdenCO11]

what muppet of a human being wrote this shit?

[u/itsapotatosalad]

The example she sets is “you’re not a baby machine, you can be your own person” and this drives right wingers insane.

[u/Icy-Needleworker-492]

Taylor funds a food bank for a year, in every city where she performs.

[u/Domino_Dare-Doll]

The example that…a woman can do what she loves and be successful for it while enjoying the freedom to just be herself?

The horror…?

[u/SilverSister22]

So every unmarried, childless man of 34 is also not a good role model? 🧐

[u/ProMedicineProAbort]

Ah yes, the "a female is nothing, has no value and should not be looked up to if there is no man to manage her or children to define her."

[u/TurangaLeela78]

And yet she is a gazzillionaire with infinity awards and endless fans and can do basically whatever the hell she wants. Chick is winning and people hate it. Maybe she doesn’t WANT to be married or have kids yet or ever. So?

[u/nihodol326]

Well women living the life they want and not being birth machines is bad for scociety because reasons.

[u/ConstantParticular89]

Also what about all the highly influential male celebrities who date around (Leo DiCaprio) or cheat on their wives (Jay-Z)? It’s only a problem when a woman does it? 🙄The author can go find a short walk off a long cliff. As a man, start with cleaning up your own house.

[u/Individual_Ad9632]

The example that girls and women can live their dreams even if those dreams don’t revolve around a husband and family?

Good.

[u/purplegladys2022]

"Taylor Swift, self made billionaire before the young age of 34, complete failure on life because no ring and no babies."

The patriarchy is jealous.

[u/mysticdragonwolf89]

At 34, Swift has a job, has a steady income, has supportive parents, has expressed her views as freely as any can in America, voted, promoted voting, has made her own choices, and is a supportive partner to her SO.

Perfect role model.

What this author hates is that she isn’t a baby factory and/or married.

But being married isn’t really the issue — it’s that Swift is a strong independent influential woman who promotes voting and that is what the author is angry about, much like all the rest of the right.

She isn’t in the kitchen like a traditional woman, nor subservient to a male like a traditional woman, or keeping her mouth shut like a traditional woman

[u/leese216]

Fewer things scare uber conservative men more than a successful, content, happy, woman who is unmarried and childless.

[u/Borsti17]

Got stinking rich doing something she loves. Happy relationship. Gives back to the community.

Truly awful, that.

[u/Little_Assistant_551]

Ofcourse a successfull woman is a bad role model because she didn't pop a buch of kids, how are we supposed to confince girls that the only thing they are good for stayimg ome serving the man? /s

[u/ExpressHouse2470]

My wife would surely disagree with this post and we have 2 kids

[u/MsSeraphim]

let's see. woman has her own money so she doesn't need to marry just to have a roof over her head. check. OMG no! we men can't have that!

[u/Feminazghul → u/MsSeraphim]

And don't hold your breath for the article deriding unmarried and childless Travis Kelce for failing to get hitched and make some babies.

[u/baronesslucy → u/Feminazghul]

If you notice, only women are attacked. This author doesn't seem to attack men who don't marry or don't have children.

[u/Happy-Initiative-838]

Remember when Newsweek was a respected source of information?

[u/chalky87]

Or, and hear me out, achieving a huge amount of success in your career, being financially independent and financially smart, helping others and working hard is a fantastic role model for young people regardless of relationship or parenthood.

[u/Different-Island1871]

Their predilection towards cult behaviour is showing. Taylor Swift is a fine role model, but these people seem to not understand that you can have more than 1 role model. If you just religiously follow a single person’s example, you are in a cult.

[u/Shot_Try4596 → u/Different-Island1871]

Whose example are they following? Seems to me the persons that conservatives like this revere are either the biggest hypocrites to their claimed values or whose teachings are in direct opposition to what they do and say.

[u/ithinkitsnotworking]

That's some teeny tiny penis energy right there.

[u/Octex8]

Did we all travel back in time to the 1950s somehow? What the hell is happening?

[u/Feffies_Cottage]

Women are not brood mares.

What is just as disturbing as the a handmaid-tale like article, is that it was published in Newsweek.

[u/Elegant-Raise]

How dare she have success only a man should have!!!

[u/Kooky-Chair7652]

https://www.reddit.com/r/BritishSuccess/s/xZIwHXNawa. Yeah she’s a real bad person huh? /s.

[u/AznNRed]

Why work hard to become a billionaire like that childless spinster Taylor Swift, when you can spread your legs and pump out babies for a redneck conservative husband, who has a subscription to power bowl draws? /s

[u/smcauley601]

35 unmarried childless, come at me newsweek

[u/edynol]

Cuz... little kids need to learn how to have unprotected sex and have legally binding relationships? Sure thing there, buddy.

[u/alephthirteen]

The religious weirdos are loose again...

Who the fuck left the cage open?

NOOOO YOUNG GIRLS SHOULDNT WANT TO BE TALENTED AND RICH THEY SHOULD BE GIVING BIRTH

bruh

[u/Money_Mastodon_3171]

I wonder if they would say the same about any other divorced male celebrity.

[u/Responsible_Match875]

Even r/travisandtaylor which is anti Taylor swift hates this article 

[u/mayhem6]

Is this the 1950s? STFU is all I have to say to that nonsense.

[u/Pcaccount1234]

Her being unmarried and childless does make her a role model imo. Women are constantly forced or brainwashed into rushing into marriage and motherhood when many times it's not their cup of tea

[u/KrazyKyle213]

Do I think she's a great role model? Eh. Is this a shitty reason? Yes.

[u/YDoEyeNeedAName]

the only billionaire the media doesnt simp for ffs

[u/OL2052]

Call me crazy, but I've never really looked at famous and rich people I've never met as a "role model."

[u/Wise_Carrot_457]

So the chick I went to high school with that got pregnant at 15 and by the age of 25 had 3 kids with 3 different guys and married a 4th guy she’s pregnant with 4 months after meeting him is a good role model?

[u/TheWeenieBandit]

What example does it set? Oh nooo, my daughter might realize you can be rich and famous and successful without ever relying on a man to get you there, oh nooooo

[u/InsertMoreCoffee]

Lmao "unmarried and childless" at 34 is like half of the Millenial Generation, and a lot of us prefer it that way.

[u/nobody546818]

You have to be mentally ill to look at Taylor Swift and say “ohhhh so close, self made billionaire in your thirties, globally renowned celebrity, doing what you love for a living and in what I assume is good health and a happy relationship. BUT YOU DIDNT HAVE KIDS INSTEAD, FAIL”

[u/darth_voidptr]

If my kids are single and childless at 34, I will be too focused on whether they are happy and financially independent to care.

But my teenage kids don’t care about taylor swift, she’s too old. That’s the brutal truth of that biz.

[u/Lifesalchemy]

Yes. You must get hitched and shit out kids to be a real adult woman. Good god.

[u/Dreams_From_Beyond]

She's not supposed to be a role model. She's an entertainer and nothing more.

I'm also curious as to who he's voting for and if he's religious, because a lot of crazy "women are meant to birth children and nothing more" are usually the whackadoo Christians who support Trump and the abortion bans.

I'm willing to bet $100 the "journalist" who wrote this thinks Trump is a great role model.

[u/Revolutionary-Car-92]

Andrew Tate, Editor in Chief.

[u/Seraphiem93]

The self-made billionaire isn't a good role model because no baby. Worst take of the year

[u/onlyletmeposttrains]

I agree with the headline, but only because she holds unfair grudges until the bitter end and has a carbon footprint the size of Montana, criticizing her for being childless and unmarried at 34 is gigastupid

[u/NfamousKaye]

I’m no Taylor fan but… wtf is this bullshit in 2024?

[u/EmperorGrinnar]

Who is the author of this article? Stefan Molyneux?

That guy is obsessed with her ovaries, despite having a wife and kids of his own to be concerned about.

Edit: nope. It's written by John Mac Ghlionn. A name I've never seen before. Dude is weird.

[u/Breizh87]

Good for her, kids suck.

[u/Noobzoid123]

The more they say this kinda shit about her the more the kids wanna be her.

[u/Mattclef]

News flash: right wingers are dumb af

[u/lanky_yankee]

GTFOH with that tradwife bullshit

[u/livvylavidaloca10042]

I’m not a Swiftie by any stretch of the imagination but I will ALWAYS defend her in this department. Getting married, having kids, etc. is (or at least it should be!) a choice; if that’s not something she’s choosing right now, then that’s her decision. It’s not something she NEEDS to do now or ever.

[u/[deleted]]

Crazy. There’s actual things you could argue makes her not a great role model, like how she uses her private jet so much which causes a shit ton of pollution, but this? Shes actually a strong independent woman which seems like a great role model imo, and I say this as a big Swift hater

[u/bunkscudda]

It always amazes me how many people believe that gender is binary, while simultaneously having a list of requirements that women must conform to in order to be considered ‘real women’

[u/baronesslucy]

Why would you even care whether Taylor Swift has children. She is criticized for dating several men over the course of a couple of years, but how many celeb men have dated or slept with numerous women in the course of a couple of years.

[u/mishma2005]

WTH happened to Newsweek? It’s utter trash now

[u/Peligreaux]

Complete load of crap. Has whoever wrote this opinion ever expressed the same thing about a man?

[u/AlwaysOutsider]

“At 34 Swift remains unmarried and childless” Let’s just not mention the fact that she’s a millionaire, aside from the the private jet problem she’s a pretty okay role model isn’t she?

-Not a swiftie

[u/x271815]

Are we seriously having this discussion in 2024? And that too about someone as talented as Taylor Swift?

[u/Rare-Craft-920]

What a BS rag.

[u/mfs619]

Meanwhile she is a model, country music star, pop star, self made billionaire, happens to be dating down when she’s dating a future NFL hall of fame’r, is still friends with her high school friends despite becoming famous, and has donated hundreds of millions to charity. …..Yea she’s a terrible choice as a role model bc she isn’t interested in children or marriage right now.

[u/brechbillc1]

“Taylor Swift is not a good role model…”

Agreed, there’s quite a few good reasons as to why…

“Because she is unmarried and doesn’t have kids!”

And you were so close, yet so far.

[u/Upper_Guarantee_4588]

I suppose a first lady who used to be a Hooker would be better, right?

[u/Monster-Leg]

Swift sucks for a lot of reasons but being unmarried and childless at 34 ain’t it

[u/SSSims4]

TS is more successful than that excuse for a person writing this crap will be in 10 lifetimes. Just like going through with pregnancies or having sex with someone - marriage and children are a choice. Women get to choose for themselves outside of incest Trumpanzee communities.

[u/mayhem6 → u/SSSims4]

She is so successful that this guy drops her name to get more clicks. I myself don’t care for her or her music but she is a philanthropist big time so that’s something I can respect.

[u/SSSims4 → u/mayhem6]

Exactly this! I have no opinion on her music, but as a person? She's done more for people than some countries.

Who thinks Roseanne Barr is a good female role model, probably
