    My sister in law last year accused me of being a misogynist because I don’t like Taylor Swift’s music. She argued that since Swift is the most-downloaded artist ever on Spotify, that means she is objectively the greatest singer-songwriter in history and the only reason I could possibly dislike her music is that I don’t like women. I suggested that she must be racist because she doesn’t like Kanye West and Bad Bunny (who are the second- and third-most downloaded or thereabouts artists on Spotify) and she was like “who is Bad Bunny?”

        I met someone opposite. I told a guy about all the bands and solo artists I like, plenty of whom are women, and he suggested that once I’m in a long-term relationship I won’t want to listen to women anymore.

        I errrr… think that when it comes to women musicians the fella mostly enjoyed the music videos. X_X Or perhaps they made him feel less “alone” or something. He was defo not there just for the music
