    “It is the deviants among us who hold society together”. This paradox is the topic of our current paper. The crux of this paradox lies in our reactions to deviant behavior; though by and large we no longer strive for total mechanical solidarity, or social cohesion based on sameness (Conley, 2013 pg. 191), in more interpersonal settings we often adhere to, depending on the setting, looser or stricter rules of social conduct where transgressions on those rules result in a negative reaction designed to ensure that we all conform to the prescribed rules of the situation; as a result, we reinforce those same norms and define what is socially acceptable for ourselves.

    In present day confessional music, the hypocrisy and gender discrimination has changed little over the years, despite what people may think. Taylor Swift, a female songwriter and performer who often gets criticized by the media for writing about her relationships, is an example of this. In fact, she even plays on her known crazy ex-girlfriend image in her music video for “Blank Space,” where she depicts herself as unhinged (Swift). While this song lyrically and video visually appear to be Taylor’s confessional response to her perceived image, critics still slammed her for this video. One specifically, Karol Markowicz from the New York Post writes, “Worse, they invoke a sense of ‘girl power’ as if there is something empowering about a woman behaving insanely.…
