Vox Quietly Deleted the Slut-Shaming From Your Dad's Taylor Swift Review
Vox sent your dad to review a Taylor Swift concert. Did you know that that pop music makes him feel insecure? I hope the world doesn’t spin off its axis. Unfortunately, your dad did not just write about his fluctuating testosterone levels in his review. He also said that Miley Cyrus and Madonna don’t value themselves and, well, that requires some extra post-publication editing.
The paragraph from “What Taylor Swift taught a 39-year-old ex-jock,” by Vox’s chief political correspondent Jonathan Allen (answer: women have something to say, too) has now been deleted, but not before it was preserved by ex-Gawker writer Aleks Chan (hi, Aleks):

When women take their clothes off it is bad, and their opinions mean less. Taylor Swift leaves on her clothes, therefore she is respectable and good.
This has been a lesson from your dad, Jonathan Allen, who used to be a jock, but now writes about music on the internet, and knows about women because of your two-year-old sister. Please call your mother, she would love to hear your voice.
