Taylor Swift has opened up about the pervasive nature of misogyny and the importance of embracing feminism in an interview with Maxim magazine.

The 25-year-old award-winning singer said that misogyny is ingrained in people from the time they are born, adding that to her, feminism is probably the most important movement that one could embrace because it's just basically another word for equality, the Independent reported.

The 'Shake it Off' singer added that a man writing about his feelings from a vulnerable place is brave; a woman writing about her feelings from a vulnerable place is oversharing or whining.

However, she admitted she hasn't always understood the concept. It turns out, feminism was not the man-hating, gender-dividing club for radicals she might have thought it was.
