Ok, buuuuuut, is that a standard we apply to other artists? Is that a standard we've ever felt compelled to apply to male artists? If not, why do we feel the need to grade Taylor according to that rubric?

I agree with this (although I don't listen to much music least of all Swift's). Society has commonly sold to us the lie that women must become like men, and in order to become like men we must make money as they do and dress as they dress. Of course the lie is deeper than that ... because the lie suggests that a man is a human being with a career who is successful at earning money.
