'Respect Taylor Swift' trends as fans slam misogynistic lines in 'Ginny & Georgia' and say 'stop slut-shaming'

'If those script writers thought of these lines as jokes, are they really that dumb? Being misogynistic and slut-shaming people has never been a joke,' one user said

Premiered on Netflix on February 24, 2021, 'Ginny & Georgia' is making headlines for all the wrong reasons after viewers observed that show disrespected pop star Taylor Swift with misogynistic dialogues. The brand new show on the streaming giant may be getting a lot of love from fans but they are surely not in the mood to accept the distasteful remarks made against the singer.

‘Ginny & Georgia’ follows Ginny Miller, a 15-year-old who is more mature than her 30-year-old mother Georgia in a New England town. In one of the episodes, we see Ginny telling Georgia on different occasions, “You go through men faster than Taylor Swift” and “Taylor Swift made an entire career off her exes”.
