On girls, boys, men and women

7 Sep

Um…NO.

This is the official AP headline for the story about Taylor Swift’s quest to win as many awards for “smooching on the porch swing” songs as she can. I know this because many news outlets kept the same headline.

My list of grievances is only five bullet points long.

  • Believe it or not, Taylor Swift is 21 years old. That makes her a woman.
  • Jason Aldean is 34 years old. Very much a man.
  • Blake Shelton is 35 years old. That makes him a man, not a boy.
  • Brad Paisley is 38 years old. Man!
  • Keith Urban is 43 years old. That makes him a man.

What’s wrong with calling ourselves by the adult terms we earned? I have no problem calling myself a woman and I’d hope that Keith Urban would call himself a man.

    Don’t ask my mother-in-law about Taylor Swift unless you’ve got some time to kill. It won’t be pretty (and I tend to agree with her opinion).
