My friend

Matt Dinan
sent me a tweet. And then my friend
Rob Secundus
also sent me the same tweet. I think both of them sent this to me under the correct impression that it was going to irritate me. So here’s the tweet (well, it’s two tweets):1

This tweet does indeed annoy me, so I will respond to the implicit request to have a take on it. For one thing, men who like Taylor Swift also relate to Taylor Swift in exactly this way. Everybody who likes Taylor Swift relates to her in exactly this way. It is how she works. She has a song about it.2
