Instead of men bonding via misogyny, we have men and women bonding—and desiring one another—via the rejection of femininity.

Interesting to see a critique of Swift which recognizes the ambivalences in her relationship to femininity.

Also maybe worth noting that Swift’s presentation of herself as “just butch enough” often has a kind of class component (e.g. her fairly frequent lyrical references to pickup trucks) - she may be a woman, but she’s not effete.
