TAYLOR SWIFT : GET OFF HER BACK ALREADY!

GET OFF TAYLOR SWIFT's BACK ALREADY!

Over the last few months I've been increasingly sensitized by the way that media - mostly magazines and tabloids - have been closely following the young singer-songwriter Taylor Swift's love life.  One article after another has put her on the spot about her love life, why she does or doesn't have a steady boyfriend, or is not heading towards (early) marriage and/or children.  It's almost as if they want her to explain or apologize.  Things got worse when she ended or he ended the relationship with a Kennedy. 

So many young women feel this pressure when they are decidedly career oriented or feel that marriage and children are commitments and responsibilities that they wish to delay or avoid all together.  In Taylor Swift's case THIS IS THE SAD SIDE OF FAME.

What's wrong with not being heavily invested in getting married?  Certainly Taylor is not the first or last young woman who wants to date for fun, or date for self-knowledge, rather than to date for marriage.

The hounding by the media of this extremely creative, capable, talented, possibly musical genius, as well as gorgeous woman, makes me sick.

Of course some of the problem here is not journalists desperate to make a story.  It's also the psychologists desperate to propagate their profession, pathologizing the choice to be NMNK - even when someone is only in their early 20's.

There is always some psychologist or MFCC who wants to appear to be the expert on record who takes a public jab at someone they will never see in their office, and if they did THEN THAT IS SUPPOSED TO BE CONFIDENTIAL ISN'T IT!?

Meanwhile, look who went ahead and bred a couple children - and wants more - even though she is mentally ill, does not have a stable relationship or marriage, and is in fact under someone else's custody...and is no stay at home mom to raise them.

You know who I mean.
