So I’m not particularly a Taylor Swift fan (I recall I did quite like Folklore, mind you), and the news that Time magazine declared her their Person of the Year fills me with indifference much like Time‘s Person of the Year almost always does. It had a… different effect on some people.
There’s always got to be someone like this posting this sort of bullshit, hasn’t there. Especially after they’ve also posted this sort of bullshit:
For Eric, I guess, the sight of a woman on a magazine cover is one of those exceptions that prove the rule, and you should instead be quick to anger at that. Oy.
I’ve pontificated here in the past about matters of personal identity and how I’ve never not felt like a man but I’ve also never felt like much of one, and how I don’t seem to feel the same need other MEN evidently do to prove what MEN they are and how I find such MEN off-putting (and obviously I capitalise the word advisedly). Eric Conn is exactly the sort of MAN I mean, the sort that has to beat his big masculine chest about how virile he is by hosting podcasts called the Hard Men Podcast (“Reclaiming biblical masculinity in a world of softness“) and The King’s Hall (“exists to make self-ruled men who rule well and win the world“), identifying as a “Western native” and “avid hunter”, and being threatened by the success of a… woman. An aging (34 next week) woman at that. And goddamn, though I may be a “failure” as a man, if THIS thing represents “success” at being one, I’ll settle for failure. I like me more.
