the mind of Mo Bangles

unrelated & you might not agree.

but, i keep seeing things around about how they “exposed” taylor swift and how she’s a liar and blah blah blah. i watched the video and unless there’s more to it, or another one, NOWHERE does he tell her he’s going to call her a bitch and NOWHERE does she say she’s okay with it. giving her consent on one line doesn’t give her consent on every line.

i’m saddened that so many females are acting as if what kanye and kim did is a) okay and b) proves that taylor’s response to being called “that bitch” wasn’t warranted.

a friend and i were discussing this at dinner the other night and i equated it with, let’s say someone takes my picture, shows it to me & I think it looks good. the post the picture & it shows my skirt tucked into my underwear then say “well you approved it”. the fuck i did.

now, i in no way think that taylor is the princess or wholesome girl she tries to appear as. i also don’t think she’s a saint or anything. but. that video doesn’t give her consent. you can’t approve of something that was never told to you.

basically, all i’m saying, is people, especially women, need to think about how we would feel if someone pretended to be our friend and then called us “that bitch” to the world and took credit for what we had achieved. i would be pissed and hurt beyond belief.

so stop the taylor is a snake shit & stop perpetuating kanye’s apparent obsession and compulsion to involve taylor in his life.

“If there were another avenue to meet with him, I would have used it. I have tried to go through Tallahassee, and it never happened. This was a moment where his entourage wasn’t completely blocking him off, and I took advantage of that.”
