Taylor Swift hits out at Netflix after ‘sexist’ Ginny & Georgia joke
Last year Taylor Swift hit out at a 'deeply sexist' joke made in the Netflix drama Ginny & Georgia.
The scene in question made light of the media's scrutiny of the pop star's love-life over the years, titular character Ginny said: "What do you care? You go through men faster than Taylor Swift."
The 'I Bet You Think About Me' songstress made sure that her annoyance at the line was known, she tweeted out in March last year: "Hey Ginny & Georgia, 2010 called and it wants its lazy, deeply sexist joke back.
How about "we stop degrading hard working women by defining this horse shit as FuNnY," Taylor wrote.
She also made it clear to Netflix that she was not happy as they hosts her 2020 documentary Miss Americana – where she speaks about the media's sexist portrayal of her career.
"Also, @netflic after Miss Americana this outfit doesn’t look cute on you. Happy Women’s History Month I guess."

Swift urges fans to vote Trump out of office to fight 'ingrained racial injustice'
Back in May of 2020, Taylor urged her followers to use their voting powers to bring about much-needed change in the US surrounding racial injustice.
She vowed “we will vote you out in November” to the President at the time, Donald Trump.
The tweet made quite the splash with her 86.4 million followers at the time as she urged everyone to get out and vote.
Taylor followed up the initial post with: "We need to fight for mail-in voting for the 2020 election. No one should have to choose between their health and having their voice heard."
After stoking the fires of white supremacy and racism your entire presidency, you have the nerve to feign moral superiority before threatening violence? ‘When the looting starts the shooting starts’??? We will vote you out in November. @realdonaldtrump

Taylor sets the record straight about her friendship with Lorde
The iconic songwriter clapped back at the media and made sure the record showed that the reports of a rocky friendship were false.
Taylor has spoken out multiple times about how the industry constantly pits women against each other, she responded to the rumours with a candid tweet.
In 2015, many claims whirred online that the 'Red' songstress and fellow musician Lorde were feuding, before Taylor refuted the allegations.
She wrote: "Media, when you say "Lorde & Taylor are fighting" - by fighting do you mean FaceTiming constantly from US to NZ and LOLing at you"? Thnx bye."
We think she made it crystal clear...
Despite the pop star duo rarely making public appearances together in recent years, it's thought that the pair remain amicable.
