Taylor-Swifting

When a woman does not get the man she believes she deserves with unrealistic expectations so she starts hating on every man and tells her friends and all women how terrible men are and warms them of consequences of being with men.

Taylor: "I told you not to go with that Nathan, he will ruin your life, it does not matter how good he is, he is a man and men will be men"
Karen: "really, but he loves me"
Taylor: "They all say they love you initially but then they change, we don't need men, we just need a squad."
Karen: " Ok, but this is sad, I am not doing taylor-swifting anymore, I love my man and everything he is to me."
