I have to say that I found myself sort of agreeing with this article. But it is a poor argument in a few ways. Taylor Swift is a big slut-shamer but I have heard many people upset about it. It may not have made as big main-stream controversy as blurred lines but it definitely had people batting an eye. So I disagree that people are letting her off the hook and that this is a good argument for why Blurred Lines is not misogynist.

Secondly they purposefully ignore the worst lines in the song.

And that's why I'm gon' take a good girl

I know you want it

I know you want it

I know you want it

You're a good girl

Can't let it get past me

You're far from plastic

Talk about getting blasted

I hate these blurred lines

I know you want it is what men have been known to say to girls who say no, but they are convinced no means yes.

Can't let it get past me just seems a bit rapey again.

I hate these blurred lines I don't think it is a stretch to see this as the blurred lines between consent and statutory rape.

Later in the song:

You the hottest bitch in this place

Maybe less rapey then other lyrics but definitely not the women's rights message this article makes it seem like he is trying to give.

You wanna hug me

Hey, hey, hey

What rhymes with hug me?

Hey, hey, hey

This one isn't as offensive as it is just poor rhyme scheme.

I've also heard that he said he has been respectful to women his whole life and this song was like his break from that. But I haven't been able to confirm it with a link, so that is just something I heard. Personally I'm not a big fan of pop (except Macklemore now he seems like a nice guy).
