“Childless” And “Unmarried” Taylor Swift Criticisms In New Op-Ed Spark Misogyny Accusations

ADVERTISEMENT

An American conservative man endured Swifties’ wrath after writing an opposite the editorial page (op-ed) slamming Taylor Swift. After arguing that the pop star wasn’t a good role model as a result of publicly dating different men, the writer sparked accusations of misogyny.

In an op-ed entitled Taylor Swift Is Not a Good Role Model, published in Newsweek on Thursday (June 27), essayist John Mac Ghlionn highlighted the 34-year-old singer’s age, in addition to her being “unmarried” and “childless.”

Highlights
  • Essayist John Mac Ghlionn criticized Taylor Swift for being 'unmarried' and 'childless' in his Newsweek op-ed.
  • John accused Taylor Swift of not being a good role model due to her public dating history with numerous high-profile men.
  • The op-ed writer faced backlash on social media, with critics labeling his views as misogynistic and sexist.

John pushed back against claims Taylor was a role model, insinuating that the songstress wasn’t, as his definition of a role model would suggest “someone worthy of imitation.” 

“While Swift’s musical talent and business acumen are certainly admirable, even laudable, we must ask if her personal life choices are ones we want our sisters and daughters to emulate,” the researcher wrote.

The man with a doctorate in Psychosocial Studies pointed to Taylor’s “highly publicized romantic life” and her dating “numerous high-profile men—at least a dozen—including singers Harry Styles and Joe Jonas, the actor Jake Gyllenhaal, and, more recently, the American football player Travis Kelce.” 

“This revolving door of relationships may reflect the normal dating experiences of many young women in today’s world, but it also raises questions about stability, commitment, and even love itself,” John wrote.

He questioned: “Should we encourage young girls to see the ‘Swift standard’ as the norm, something to aspire to? 

“Or should we be promoting something a little more, shall we say, wholesome? 

“Would any loving parent reading this want their daughter to date 12 different men in the span of just a few years? 

“This is not an attack on Swift; it’s a valid question that is worth asking.”

John went on to criticize the musician’s advocacy against a patriarchal society, contrasting her beliefs with “her personal dating choices.”

Taylor has become a notable speaker promoting her feminist values. Back in 2015, she told Maxim: “Misogyny is ingrained in people from the time they are born.

“So, to me, feminism is probably the most important movement that you could embrace, because it’s just basically another word for equality. 

“A man writing about his feelings from a vulnerable place is brave; a woman writing about her feelings from a vulnerable place is oversharing or whining.”

In the piece, essayist John Mac Ghlionn highlighted the 34-year-old singer’s age, in addition to her being “unmarried” and “childless”

She also told Vogue in 2019: “People would act like it [songwriting] was a weapon I was using.

“Like a cheap dirty trick.

“Be careful, bro, she’ll write a song about you. 

“Don’t stand near her. 

“First of all, that’s not how it works. 

“Second of all, find me a time when they say that about a male artist: Be careful, girl, he’ll use his experience with you to get — God forbid — inspiration to make art.”

The op-ed writer further cited Taylor’s tendencies to date “strong, influential men—celebrities who embody significant social and economic power,” calling the practice hypocritical.

“Swift either doesn’t realize this or doesn’t care,” he wrote. “Neither of the two is a good look.”

John also denounced the Grammy Award winner’s song lyrics, which often “depict her as the victim” despite her being “the most popular musician of all time.”

“This isn’t about moralizing, but about discussing the values we wish to instill in impressionable individuals,” the writer argued.

The conservative man endured Swifties’ wrath after shaming Taylor Swift’s dating history

He concluded: “What young girls truly need, perhaps without fully recognizing it, are role models who provide both authenticity and actual depth, rather than artificial narratives and superficial glamor.”

John’s op-ed has been circulating on social media for the past week, igniting significant backlash — it is worth pointing out that the essayist’s X profile (formerly known as Twitter) has been deactivated.

“Shame on @Newsweek & writer John Mac Ghlionn,” Ireland’s Special Rapporteur on Child Protection Caoilfhionn Gallagher wrote on X. “Their ‘hot take’ on why #TaylorSwift is not a role model is misogynistic, sexist & frankly idiotic.” 

She added: “Number of times they have written about 34-year-old unmarried & ‘childless’ male celebrities? Zero.”

An X user noted: “John Mac Ghlionn should know that whenever he unlocks his tweets it’s gonna be a f*****g problem. 

ADVERTISEMENT

“His @Newsweek article about Taylor Swift is some of the most sexist garbage I have ever seen. 

“Whenever you come back John, we’re gonna chat about this.”

A person shared a post published last year by John that read: “Feminism exists because not all women can be sexually attractive.”

John pushed back against claims Taylor was a role model

The same person captioned: “Note to @Newsweek: You might want to apologize to Taylor Swift &, more importantly, to every woman, for publishing the opinions of John Mac Ghlionn about anything related to women. Period.”

Gender equity Researcher Amy Diehl observed: “This was written by a man who believes women’s highest calling is marriage and children.”

“John Mac Ghlionn, who based on the name isn’t a woman, is telling Taylor Swift, who’s a highly successful woman, to become a human incubator so she can be a good role model to little girls… so they can aspire to become incubators too!” a separate individual chimed in on X.

The Shake It Off hitmaker has a long history of experiencing sexist attacks. For instance, back in January, Taylor was sexualized against her wishes as a result of explicit AI-generated images.

Sandra Wachter, a professor of Technology and Regulation at the University of Oxford, told Bored Panda at the time: “I think it will be extremely important that we as a society recognize these acts of sexual violence as serious offenses and treat them as such.

“It is not ‘fun’ or a ‘joke,’ someone’s dignity, physical and psychological integrity are violated.”

Nevertheless, Taylor’s advocacy against sexism has also been scrutinized, often labeled as “white feminism.”

As University of Pennsylvania student Mariana Martinez explained in The Daily Pennsylvanian: “White feminism focuses on the idea that empowerment is achieved through capitalist means.”

Taylor’s advocacy against sexism has also been scrutinized, often labeled as “white feminism”

“The problem is that it leaves many other identities behind and ignores the fact that different women all over the world experience misogyny in different ways. 

“However, the white feminist narrative insists that she is battling misogyny by going on the first-ever billion-dollar tour, making history. 

“While yes, it is nice to see a woman succeeding in a sexist industry, it is also crucial to acknowledge the other fights women are leading: women affected by conflict and wars, women unable to go to school, women without reproductive rights — Swift’s massive tour and ‘aesthetic feminism’ is not going to fix that.”

Moreover, British Egyptian writer Yousra Samir Imran wrote in The New Arab: “While [Palestinian women being killed in Gaza] should have been a cause for uproar by feminists worldwide, the only thing white mainstream feminists can seem to muster energy for is the misogynistic hate against Taylor Swift and women’s football.”

Consequently, many Swifties have urged their favorite singer to embrace a more intersectional approach to feminism, one that recognizes and addresses the unique forms of oppression faced by women of color, LGBTQ+ women, and other marginalized groups. 

Bored Panda has contacted John Mac Ghlionn and Newsweek for comment.

Of course he'd say this about her because he's obviously unmarried and childless himself and I can see why.

Funnily enough, this kind of sounds exactly like what this dude claims it isn’t; an attack on Taylor Swift. Look, I don’t know much about Swift, but since I’m an adult, I know enough to assume her love life is her own fυcking business and refrain from cackling about it like a gossiping fifties housewife. Chill out, man, ain’t none of your business.

And if she commented on WOC she'd be told to sit down and shut up because it's not her reality. Just like people are telling the dude (who looks like a penis with ears) that he shouldn't comment on something that's not his reality.

This would be doubly hurtful if Taylor Swift didn't choose to be childless. Can he be certain that is not the reason? I myself is single and I don't have any children. It was an active choice because an illness makes it hard even to take care of myself. How can I possibly have children in that situation? I think a lot more people aught to think about why they want children. Is it because they actually want to be parents, or because they are pushed by society?

I tried to find any evidence at all that he has a "doctorate in psychosocial studies" besides his own description. The fact that he doesnt say where from is very suspicious. Would you want your sons lying about their credentials?

I've heard of Taylor Swift. Who's this john what's-his-face? (looks like a walking p***s.) Did he JUST get let out of his mom's basement. :) Ask the people in ALL the cities that hosted TS Eras concerts this year + find out how much $$ her concerts brought to those places. And the fact she's self-employed, writes her own songs, plays instruments, sings + employs hundreds of people. If I had a daughter, I'd rather she emulate TS rather than a kar-trash-jenner.

Good grief. Leave the woman alone, will ya? She's a talented songstress (is that a word?) and obviously living her best life. Let her live her life like she wants. She's this generation's Dolly Parton. I'm not a fan of Swift's, but that's because I'm not a fan of today's music. But everything I read about her - she's an amazing person and an excellent role model. Keep up the great work, Taylor! Other childless, unmarried role models: Stevie Nicks, Jennifer Aniston, Emilia Clarke, Lady Gaga, Emma Watson and Rihanna.

Maybe he should blame the parents for supporting Swift's career instead of harping on getting grandkids. https://people.com/music/all-about-taylor-swift-parents-scott-andrea-swift/ Seriously, not everyone's cut out for long-term relationships. I doubt that men date her in the hope that she'll put her career on the backburner and start a family with them.

Hell, we should normalise having long term relationships before settling down. It's a good way to figure out what you actually want from a partner/relationship, rather than just the immature ideas you form in childhood.

Guaranteed he's never written a similar op-ed about a male celebrity... such as George Clooney or Leo DiCaprio... both of whom were/are very well known for dating many high profile women 1/2 their ages for literal decades in addition to being childless. Not a peep out of this a**l douche nozzle about that.

Everybody in the free world loves Taylor cause she's not a diva she's grounded. He's taken on more than 3/4s of the world's population. Maybe he should think and write a retraction !

May I ask how many male athletes are crtitcized for similar behaviours? The parallel being that they're THE #1 role model for boys, with goals that are as unattainable for most (plus significant risk of injuries and permanent harm for those who try). And whenever athletes do get asked about their dating habits the point is never the "role model" argument.

She may never have kids the way most women do anyway. At 34, her eggs are quickly deteriorating and it will be even harder if she waits until much later. Of course she has the money, but it would show how much heart she really has if she would adopt kids once her fertility is at ground zero.

That's the standard of how much heart she has? Why? Because she is female and in one way or another should be caring for and raising children? Do you hear yourself when you speak? She may give to foundations and charities that care for starving, abused or sick children every damned day for all you know and even if she didn't....why the heck don't YOU do all that?, or you know, you go adopt and raise a child to show "how much heart" you have....
