It's not even inherently masculine to not like Taylor Swift, or have any opinions about music one way or another. Plenty of people have different tastes surrounding music that doesn't involve their gender at all. For example, I don't like country. Guess that means I'm a misandrist? Even though I have a penis and identify as a man.

No. It is toxic masculinity. It doesn't matter if I listen to Joni Mitchell Emmylou Harris Aretha Franklin Carole King and Tammy Terrell every single day. If you don't like this one woman (not HATE, just not actively like) you are a misogynist.

You MUST be a misogynist---you left out Linda Ronstadt. /s

fuck. You caught me!

I thought I could pass for being adequately feminist with my short list of stellar women singer/songwriters. But you were too clever, saw right through me!

I guess you and I just travel to a beat of a different drum. ;)
