Absolutely agree, it was absolute torture potty training whilst on my third trimester. It was so awful having to clean accidents all day with that humongous belly. I cried a ton from exhaustion. Glad that’s over!
Taylor Swift’s boyfriend Travis Kelce is 34 yrs old, unmarried and childless. So that means that he is not a good role model for young men. Will an article be written about that?
And it's totally ok for men to date twice as many as woman in a short span. She's unmarried, no children, and is a billionaire that actually seems to care about other people...yeah I would want my daughters to be like her. Not every woman has the desire to be a wife and/or mother. Those things don't define a woman or a role model. We put that title on celebrities and athletes not them.
We all knew it would not last. Second times around are notoriously known for not working out. Yes, you have to look at what occurred the first time, which most do not want to do. Jen is a vine girl, does not let go of one vine unless you are hanging onto another vine. How did Ben think this would work knowing she loves attention. Lust got the best of him.
The reality is that there are few men who can handle the success and power of a woman such as Swift. You mentioned Jennifer Aniston who also seems to have had little lasting success at finding lasting love. I could name numerous other women who are in the same situation. With Swift the public attention is magnified 10 fold. I do hope that Travis Kelce is able to withstand the attention and lack of privacy that a relationship with such a famous woman engenders. Apparently a day after he moved into his new home in a gated community he had a stranger knocking on his window. And for some reason Taylor's power seems to shrink the privates of guys like that wtiter. Because woman should not be defined by their romantic relationships.
I would expect that type of opinion piece in a publication geared towards the far religious right, and I’m horrified that a mainstream magazine like Newsweek is giving space to such a highly biased, judgmental, misogynistic bit of filth. I’m glad y’all are happy being moms, but you keep saying Taylor doesn’t have children YET, and I hope you’ll drop that “yet” and allow her, and every other woman in the world, the latitude to make choices that are right for them. If she never has kids, that’s just as reasonable a choice as being a parent.
amen! not even a "yet" -- that's why we said even if she doesn't want to be a mom, that is perfectly ok! we should all be able to make our own choices for what us best for us. thank you for watching and listening to the podcast!! xo, katie
I am so angry. Why is this ok? If he wrote a racist click bait piece of hot garbage, that would be his end. But flagrant misogyny is just fine. Perfectly ok. Thats just his opinion. I cannot. I just cannot.
And he wrote another article doubling down on what he said and becoming a total "victim" because people came after him. He must be loving all this attention for his misogyny.
This is what the men in the alt right think. Women mean nothing unless they are attached to a men and pregnant. Newsweek is an alt right rag now well for yrs now.
Newsweek , shame on you to publish so out of touch article written by a spiteful and insecure man. Shame on men who can’t accept women’s success and such a huge contribution to society like Taylor Swift . Shameful and pathetic.
This is what Project 2025 is proposing… woman back barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen. No life choices. Ladies please explain to your generation this ghastly article is just the beginning. Men controlling women. This is what men want full control telling women what to do. The Handmaids Tale. Taylor Swift is a powerful woman that is threatening to many insecure men. Vote this Fall cause your freedom depends on it!
ahhh! the man!!! excuse me whoever you are! are you living in the age of rocks? what is taylor swift is your daughter? well you will see that you need to choose well before you fjnd the one? also as a woman , i despise the idea of getting married just bec. of the heck if it and DIVORCE ! marrying is commitment!
The statistics show clearly that half of all first marriages end in divorce. But many do not realise that those statistics increase for those who wed multiple times. In fact, 67% of second marriages end, and 73% of third marriages are dissolved. Unfortunately, they are just a statistic.
I’m a mom and a grandmother. I’m 75 and have been married for 55 years I’m a swiftie and I’m so over men telling us who is or is not proper. God I’ve heard this crap all my life. I got married in 1969 at 19. As far as society was concerned I was done I had found my calling. No. Instead I went on to get 3 college degrees. Had a successful and meaningful career ,so did my husband. We parented a stunning son and now have a wonderful granddaughter. At every time in my career and life I had to fight for my place. I was several men’s First Lady boss and believe me that took some doing, I was first in several positions I held. The bottom line is this article in insane in this day and age Ladies you are 100 % correct to be angry Push back hard. Not a word about Travis being single and they are the same age ! Taylor is not required to marry to be fulfilled. What a crock. Sometimes I feel like we are sliding backwards. Some men just cannot seem to resist telling us all how to live. You seem like lovely young women. You are correct to be angry
I don't think we ever said that? for each of them it didn't work - so you have to let go sometimes / close doors to find what will work for you / new doors! :)
A 34 year old beautiful successful single woman has a dating history. How shocking! Imagine that. Taylor has nothing to apologize for or to be ashamed about regarding her romantic life. I don’t care if magazines write pieces critical of Taylor. No one is above reproach. But that Newsweek article was not so thinly veiled slut shaming. Shame on them for publishing such it. 🤮
Travis is used to loud stadiums. The stadium where he plays his home games, Arrowhead Stadium, is literally the loudest stadium on Earth. You can check the Guinness Book of World Records and see for yourself. They set the world record at 142.2 decibels. Most rock concerts run 120-140 decibels. What's interesting is the record for the loudest indoor stadium was set at the University of Kansas about 50 miles from Arrowhead. This area of the country tends to be a bit more laid back than bigger cities, but we can certainly get loud when we want to.
Hold out? For what, a guy like Travis? Get real. That's like me saying im going to hold out for a girl like Taylor Swift. Newsflash; you have to be on that level to get that type of person. Then its even worse for women, because dudes at that level get unlimited women to play, use, and discard on a daily basis. Unless you're a true perfect ten with a perfect attitude, you will not land this type of guy. He's the .001% of men that all women want. If you're not the top 001% of women like Taylor is, then there is virtually no chance of locking down this unicorn man. The same goes for a normie trying to lock down a supermodel. It's never going to happen. So while this dude will be happy to hook up with you as his side piece/situationship rotation girl, he'll never wife you up. Sadly, most women would rather be his side piece than be in an actual relationship with a man on her level. This is the mass delusion of modern women, and it will eventually lead to an army of cats, boxed wine, and antidepressants until you die alone. Chose wisely ladies.
This is crazy, and a great way for her kid to not have friends. It’s going to make this kid think all relationships are just transactional. I wonder if she charges her own kids in some form, for love and attention.
Think it is superb . Half the world think it is the greatest love affair of all time . The other half think it is the biggest PR stunt concocted for massive effect hence thrown out for public consumption.and maximum publicity..Maybe there is a third option they are having a good time without huge emotional investment .. living for now not forever and happy for the PR teams to do their thing because the attention suits both parties and it just really isn’t that serious..
So his whole family and hers are all i n on it he would never disrespect his mother or hers and never throw his whole family and hers under the bus he would be laughed out of the NFL he would never do that to her or himself
You cant fake the feeling we all see in both of them. I m not saying it will last forever, but i also dont think that is importent at all. The only thing that matter, that right now they both seem very happy & they are lighting up.....They seem very in love Every good relationship, matter even if it dosent last but for all we know, they will make it. Its hard to make a relationship work for us regular even harder when media & sosial media are doing everythin they can to ruin your relationship & fame, Fame do make pp stop doing regular stuff bc everyone is filming, judging, them all the time. Let them be & let them live their life.
@@irene2hansen241 not saying it’s fake on the contrary what I’m pointing out sometimes there are shades of grey . The reality is that big celebrities don’t make a move , don’t answer a question , give the ok to a screen interview to be broadcasted until everything and I mean everything meets their pr people’s approval.and projects the exact narrative .they wish to project .. We have to remember it’s entertainment .. The reality is the internet has created very strange para social relationships where everyone thinks they know celebrities. Of course this is a nonsense and people merely create a version of the individual based on threads thrown out often by pr gurus ..I don’t have a clue whether it’s the greatest love affair of all time or not but certainly don’t prescribe to the fact that it’s all a stunt and saying is it dosent necessarily have to be either it may just be two people enjoying the moment ..
I agree that you should not settle, but I also think that some peoples grand gesture is to make sure your car has oil or that you get your library books returned on time. What you should really look for is extreme kindness.
So this story disturbed me so much I did a search to look for everyone talking about this insane woman. I think it’s safe to say she won’t be having any play date expenses really soon. We would have paid her then never spoken to her again. We pay for our daughter’s friend’s when we go out to eat. Let’s not normalize this disgusting behavior.
I don't have kids....but i have had nieces and nephews stay with me, and occasionally bring one of their friends along. I pay for every single thing. I would never dream of taking money from a parent. Talk about gauche!!!! I have probably spent thousands over the years on my nieces, nephews and any guest they invite. Unbelievable that a parent would expect another parent to pay a dime for a playdate. I swear the average IQ is getting lower with each generation.
It does not matter is she goes back and wins "London'. She needs to just win herself. She needs to be at peace and feel she won who she is The thing with Kelce is that he does not resent her for her success. He loves her just for herself. He supports her and encourages her. He understands her creativity He is secure within himself and lets her be who Taylor is. They both love to be out and enjoy and experience life. He is fun loving, easy going and passionate. How many concerts has any of her past boyfriend came to? Travis has been at many and even filled in with someone on stage for the show to go on. He will do what ever to help her. And she will do the same. They lift each other up. They support the other. They are in love with each other and are the BBFs of the other. They can drink wine or beer and talk all night long about everything. They can watch movies an tv shows. they can go out with friends or have them over. This is how a relationship should be. If they Marry in the next year I would not be surprised but then many couples are together for 20 years and never see a preacher and are stronger then most married couples. Whichever they decide they will be with each other for the long haul.
