Underserved or Over-scorned?

I am not a frequent blogger and I have always been careful to not crossover into narcissism with twitter or facebook. With that said, I think that the digital world is a neat place to see people’s ideas and to hear and see what is happening in the culture that we live… In many ways it is the acropolis of Paul’s day were ideas and opinions are placed on display and people then in turn challenge, debate, and share on the issues at hand. With that in mind I found myself perplexed recently with regard to Taylor Swift’s CMA success and the response of young women to the aforementioned success.

For a better description of the argument check out people’s article @ http://www.people.com/people/package/article/0,,20316530_20319864,00.html. As a fellow musician an artist I could debate from either side of the argument with regard to her selection for the CMA’s Entertainer of the Year, but to me that is a minor issue when compared to how young women respond to her achievement. I have seen recently many really nasty comments with regard to her winning the award. I am not sure where this mentality comes from and when I asked my wife she said that it comes from the catty, jealous nature that many young women work through. I am not certain and want to put it out there for you…. What do you think about what I have shared? What do you think about how women seem to attack other women’s success or accolades? I will be waiting and watching to see what you think!
