Recently I once again made the mistake of reading online comments, this time about a beautiful, rock and roll-ish photoshoot of Taylor Swift for Vogue. A variation on “Eww, she’s so awkward” seemed to be a popular opinion. My first thought while reading these comments was how very sad it is, this reflex to immediately attack a beautiful young woman, if not by scrutinizing her body, then by lashing out at the vibe anonymous internet twats think it exudes.
