As the world now knows,Taylor Swift andKaty Perry have ofbad blood between them. There has been all kinds of mud-slinging in the form of shady tweets and pop diss records (yeah, didnt know those were a thing either, butvoil:Bad Blood versusSwish Swish.) Katy Perry gave the whole beef run-downduring aninterview withJames Corden on Basically, the pop stars are feuding over background dancers. Swift thinks Perry tried to pilfer her employees and sabotage her shows, while Perry says they were hers first and about to complete their contract with Swift anyway. Giphy
Sounds like a misunderstanding that could be settled via a phone call, which is exactly what Katy Perry says she is game for. But something tells me that after she compared Swift to anold receiptand told her to kiss the ringin her Swish, Swish tune, patching this thing up may require a wee bit more effort. Maybe a sit-down? Either way, both women seem justified. See, if Taylor Swift feels she was being sabotaged, she has every right to be upset. Katy Perry, on the other hand, reserves the right to feel a way about Swift bringing their disagreement into a public space with a record particularly if she truly was not trying to hurt Swifts business. Again, phone calls ladies.They work when your line and heart are open. Giphy
But the feminism slander from fans is really the most annoying part ofthe beef. Sigh. It seems any disagreement between women warrants questions about how down they are with thefeministmovement. It's funny that@katyperry and@taylorswift13 call themselves 'feminists' but they make money with songs about bringing women down whorechata (@actuallyrxmz)May 20, 2017

Oh, people. Giphy
Being a feminist does mean that you always get along with other women. This is the definition of feminism, according toMerriam-Webster: 1. the theory of the political, economic, and social equality of the sexes 2. organized activity on behalf of womens rights and interests
This, my friends, is the definition of feminism: 1. go along with whatever other women say or do to you because you wouldnt want people to say you arent a feminist, right?
The beliefthat feminists should all get along needs to die because its sexist. Of course, feminism is about making sure that women maintain rights equal to those of men. Uplifting other women as much as possible so that those equal rights can actually happen does come with the territory. Still, having a disagreement with another woman does not mean that you are not a real feminist or that you arent about girl power. In fact, this is an unrealistic and sexist expectation of women because no one ever requires this of men.

When guys beef with each other, no one calls them out for not being supportive of other men. Consider the infamous (and hilarious)beefbetween the two rappers,Drake andMeek Mill. We did not tell them that they should not be arguing. Instead, we chose sides, deciding that Mr. Hotline Bling is our Champagne Papi for life. We also deduced that Meek Mill did not deserveNicki Minaj because: loser! Giphy
It was fun and games, and now that the beef is presumably over, weve all moved on and neither of them lost anything except maybe a little street cred, Meeks way. Women deserve the same right to feel how they feel without being toldthey should putall of feminism above their valid thoughts and beliefs. Women deserve to stand up and speak up for themselves, even if it is to another woman. Feminism doesnt mean let a woman walk all over you in the name of girl power. Saying women are not feminists because they dont do that is basically suggesting that they do not want equal rights just because they have conflict. If Katy Perry feels like she wasbullied and Taylor Swift feels like she was sabotaged, then let them work that out. Besides, we all know that unless youre anex-boyfriend, Swiftcant hold a grudge anyway. I predict therell be a platinum-selling collab record by the end of 2017.
