Marie Curie killed herself slowly with radiation so she could do science.
Fuck Taylor Swift if she thinks she is bad ass for an album.
To give credit where credit is due, Taylor Swift has done a lot to push against the ridiculous of the intellectual property rights artists didn't have, and production agencies did have. She broke that and paved a way for future artists. Did she also suck up so much air in the room that it leaves very little space for new artists to breathe, yes. Does she use the same legal system that gave her artistic freedom to crush competition, also yes. She isn't a bad ass just because she drops albums, she's a badass cause she's a ruthless business woman.
The albums aren't even good, they're bland. She's not one even in the context of other musicians lmfao
what has Swift ever done to even be considered a "bad bitch"?
She's a self-insert for white zoomer women who are high on their own main character syndrome.
Sometimes dress as a "bad bitch"
Joan of Arc comes to mind.
You got to have some confidence to be a performer, but if you asked Taylor Swift I don’t believe she would say she is one of the baddest bitches in world history lol.
Ada Lovelace, a woman who not only invented computer programming in a time where computers were theoretical mechanical devices, but she also managed to live up to the reputation of both her mother, a female mathematian from the early industrial period, and her father, famed poet and slut Lord Byron. She was a true renaissance woman
famed poet and slut Lord Byron
Is that true? checks wiki
Relationships and scandals
Wow this man is a slut
And after her a plenty of other women pioneering all kinds of stuff with computer science, like Grace Hopper who pretty much invented modern programming as we know it today (or at least laid pretty strong foundation for it) among other things. And (kinda-sorta) invented the term 'bug' related to computers.
Wendy Carlos who double majored in Physics and Music in 1962 and went on develop synthesizers with Robert Moog.
Her album Switched-On Bach essentially invented electronic music in a way mainstream audiences could digest. Taylor Swift really doesn't have any on Wendy Carlos in terms of talent or creativity or even influence. Give Swift another 5 decades and we'll see where her career is.
It amazes me she's still alive
I just wish she didn’t have such an extremist take on how people should listen to music. It’s completely destroyed her legacy and her music doesn’t live on the way that it should.
Out of the loop - what's her take?
Basically she completely opposed to digital distribution of any kind. You can only listen to her music by going to a store and buying a record. Her music isn’t even archived on archive.org or available for DRM free purchase on bandcamp or anything like that.
Freddie and Truus Overstegen. They became members of the dutch resistance age 14 and 15. First they were used as messengers, then they started to lure nazi officers into the woods, where another member of the resistance killed the nazi. Then at age 15 and 16 the killing began. They killed nazis, helped jews to flee and fucking survived….
How about Virginia Hall aka "The Limping Lady":
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virginia_Hall
She was a spy in occupied France during World War II despite having a prosthetic leg. She didn't just make it onto the Nazi's most wanted list, but was referred to as "the most dangerous of all Allied spies".
IIRC, they denied her request because they thought it would be a waste of a tank but then tons of people donated to buy one specifically for her to command.
The government did not relent, people donated to essentially buy her a tank.
She sold all of her possessions to donate a tank to the Red Army. She requested the tank, a T-34 medium tank,[3] be named "Fighting Girlfriend" ("Боевая подруга") and that she be allowed to drive it. The State Defense Committee agreed to this.
Marie Curie
She was so hot in her time that you still can't (or shouldn't) go near her (or her things) even after she died in 1934.
I can name several, and that's just women I know personally. Taylor Swift is fine and all but it's not like she's some elevated version of the gender. Fandoms get really weird.
She's not fine. She's a billionaire landlord who flies in private jets.
Ding ding ding
I'm sure as a person she's okay, but yes.
Billionaires shouldn't exist, ever
Private Jets shouldn't exist, ever
I do not think there is a separation between billionaires the people from billionaires as a construct. I really think they are genuinely bad people. It's impossible to remain subject to the same stressors of life that bind society with that kind of money. It begins to distance one and they break away from the fabric of society but with an immense footprint upon that society. Chances are you are a pretty good person. If you came into a billion dollars tomorrow, you wouldn't be a good person within a year. It corrupts absolutely.
If you came into a billion dollars tomorrow and had the opportunity to help so many people but kept it all for yourself you're already not a good person. You don't even need to wait a year.
Bluesky shitlibs would have some strong words for you, as well as anyone (me) that would dare disrespect their queen, their fierce feminine icon!
Lyudmila Pavlichenko, a Soviet sniper who is often called "Lady Death." She had 309 confirmed kills during World War 2, making her the most successful female sniper in history.
She never killed a single man, only fascists
We also have: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alice_Lee_%28mathematician%29?wprov=sfla1
A lady who dealt the deathblow to craniology, and worked as an academic during the late Victorian era. Let that sink in - she managed this pre-sufferage.
Is it just me or does Swift look like a barrister in that picture?
Easy, like all of them. Shes had the easiest life you could have. Worst thing that happened in her life is she got dumped.
Anyone with a Wikipedia page with a philanthropy section cannot qualify as a bad bitch imo.
The tank pilot story provokes a shower thought - Karens could be really useful and productive if we could only channel their energy the right direction.
She has a Kay Lee Frye (Jewel Staite) look about her.

Taylor's mother
She actually is. My partner had to hang out with them for the day a while back. Taylor was really nice, her mother was a bitch. Death stared my partner for accidentally tripping Taylor over, while the two of them were laughing about it. Couldn't understand what was wrong with her mother, but think she just saw Taylor as a cash cow.
But could she pull off black lipstick?
Yes. Yes she could.
