En fan er simpel Tweet om Taylor Swift Blot en Savage Lektion om Kvinder i Historien
Vi er knap kommet ind i verden af Omdømme-æra Taylor Swift, og popstjernen forsøger at gøre en ting klar – hun er ikke den samme T.Swift, som fagligt lavede et godt pigebillede. Nej, hun er en edgier Swift, der har omfavnet hendes “slange” persona, grøftede toppe til oversize sweatshirts og overgivne sange om uberørt ung kærlighed til fordel for dem om modne relationer (og går ud af at drikke, hvis du tager et sandt dykke ind i hende nyeste album sangtekster).
Hendes fans – og masser af kritikere – elsker denne seneste iteration af Swift og hvilket bedre forum er der for at udtrykke denne kærlighed end sociale medier? For mere bevis, se ikke mere end en Swiftie på Twitter, kendt af alias Nutella, der sendte et screenshot fra hendes “Se hvad du gjorde mig gøre” video i sidste måned og teksten det: “Navngiv en tævefødder end Taylor Swift.”

Men ikke alle var klar til at bøje sig til dronning Taylor. Hør opkaldet, masser af kolleger tweeters steg til udfordringen for at dele historier om majorly udførte kvinder.
Kvinder som Harriet Tubman…
As a child, Harriet Tubman had her skull crushed in by a slave owner, was left w/o medical attention for 2 days, + then was returned to working the fields. She went on to rescue dozens of slaves + be the first woman to lead an armed assault during the CW. https://t.co/Swgus7BlRO

… og Malala Yousafzai …
At 15, @Malala was shot in the head by the Taliban for insisting that girls had the right to an education. At 17, she became the youngest winner of the Nobel Peace Prize in history. At 18, she opened a school for Syrian refugee girls in Lebanon. https://t.co/UjPdnoqc0o

Nu stoppede historielektionen ikke der-mange flere ikoniske kvinder lavede klippet.
Rufina Gasheva was a navigator for the Night Witches, an all women combat bomber squadron that flew obsolete biplanes in night bombing raids against Nazi forces.
She survived being shot down twice, escaping a minefield the second time, and got married on the Front. https://t.co/spKwaNF88p

Nellie Bly. A reporter. In 1887, she pretended she was insane and got herself committed, all in order to help improve conditions in a decrepit and abusive New York City mental institution. https://t.co/SHO9F8G26B

Mens andre valgte at dele historierne om kvindernes nærmeste og kæreste for dem – deres mødre, deres søstre og deres bedstemødre.

My great-grandmother was part of the resistance to the Bolsheviks, survived the Armenian Genocide & the Japanese occupations of Manchuria and Shanghai, came to America, & went “🖕I’ll do it my way🖕” to the Armenian community here when they frowned on her marriage to an American. https://t.co/TtiMMXZKLH

Selvfølgelig er der ingen benægtelse Swift er en færdig kvinde i sig selv. Men bruger Twitter til at dele historierne om andre historiske “dårlige tæver”? Vi er klar til det.
