Me daydreaming about a completely non-Christian fictional universe: and God was there also. also God was secretly there. the Christian God was there, actually.

I've mentioned how I think Taylor Swift so unapologetically lamenting being unmarried and childless is a fascinating cultural moment and I think a big part of that is that...it actually doesn't matter if you think that's her own fault.

Like of course some people are going to say her relationships have all ended because she must be selfish or bitchy or high maintenance or whatever. And that's assuming a lot but it's also sort of irrelevant. Because the lament of TTPD is not that she's an innocent victim - and I don't think she is, because she is making a choice to date in a certain way that is inherently dysfunctional for all that it's commonplace in our culture. But the lament is simply the stark reality of where it's gotten her and the fact that it's not what she wants.

At no point on this album does she claim to be blameless. But she does say, actually, it's pretty fucked up that you can date a guy for years, sleep with him for years, and then he can leave. And she's right! That is fucked up! And she doesn't have to have been perfect - no woman has to be perfect - to not deserve that.
