Fans also agreed with the criticism of the line. “[Isn’t] Is it ironic how Ginny and Georgia is a series that is supposed to promote feminism, but still make outdated jokes of shame ?? RESPECT TAYLOR SWIFT, “a Twitter user wrote.
“I was really liking Ginny and Georgia until they added Taylor Swift’s really inappropriate jab from a character who is supposed to be a feminist,” another wrote.
“I’m so tired of it. Men during her age dated more than she did, double or triple.” said other.
“Respect Taylor Swift” was trending on Twitter on Monday.
The Netflix show follows a single mother, Georgia, who had her daughter, Ginny, in her teens as they move to the new city. CBS News contacted Netflix for a response to Swift’s criticism and is awaiting a response.
Swift has spoken out against sexist treatment in the past. On a “CBS Sunday morning” interview with Tracy Smith in 2019, Swift said, “There is a different vocabulary for men and women in the music industry, right?”
“Give me an example,” asked Smith.
“Okay. A man does something, he is ‘strategic’; a woman does the same thing, he is ‘calculated’. A man can ‘react’; a woman can only ‘overreact’,” she said.
