Since I’m American, I only know the name/stage name “Professor Green” because I read so many British tabloids. Professor Green is really rapper/songwriter Stephen Manderson, and I want to say he’s more of a local celebrity in the UK. Perhaps some Europeans outside of Britain know him, but for the most part, he’s just one of those minor people that only the British papers really care about. He’s just gotten divorced from another local British celebrity named Millie Mackintosh (a reality star on Made In Chelsea) and Professor Green is single and ready to mingle. But not with Taylor Swift, because I’m sure he would get a shot at her, right? Well, he seems to think he would get a shot. And he would turn her down because she’s too “promiscuous.”
He may well be single, but Professor Green insists he would never date American star Taylor Swift because she’s too “promiscuous.” The London based rapper, 32, claims his answer would be an emphatic no if the 26-year-old singer asked him out because he’s convinced she has a thing for jumping in and out of sexual relationships too quickly.
Speaking during a Live Q&A with The Sun on Dan Wootton’s Facebook page, he said: ‘She has been quite promiscuous recently and I think she’s quite busy and probably too busy to go on a date with me so, with that in mind, I would sprint for the door.’
Taylor’s illustrious list of past boyfriends includes Calvin Harris, Harry Styles, Jake Gyllenhaal and, more recently, Tom Hiddleston. But while Green – real name Stephen Manderson – would prefer to strike up a relationship with a non-celebrity, he’d bend his rule for Rita Ora if she’d let him. He explained: ‘I’ve got a lot of love for Rita, I’ve known her for a long, long time. I’d definitely take Rita on a date, if she’d let me, because I think she’s lovely.’
This is the kind of sh-t that Amber Rose talks about, and when Amber hears about this, she’s going to have a lot to say! Taylor Swift is NOT promiscuous. She’s a normal, healthy woman who dates different men. In the past four years, I think she’s had three boyfriends (Harry, Calvin and Tom, right?). Taylor’s problem isn’t that she’s “promiscuous” or a wanton woman or whatever “slutty” label you want to throw at her. Her problem is how she behaves in those relationships, not that she dates different guys. Anyway… just further evidence that men are still labeling women “promiscuous” for having a healthy dating life.

His rapper name is Professor Green?! Wow, how street.
Professor Green in the Library with the candlestick!
My mind also went to the Clue reference. Thought maybe that was a roll he had taken on!
But if it’s a Clue/Cluedo reference then he’s even getting that wrong. Isn’t it Rev/Mr Green and Professor Plum? Argh, it doesn’t matter.
RZK and he just accused Taytay of being Miss Scarlet !
“RZK and he just accused Taytay of being Miss Scarlet !”
HA! Very clever, shelly*!
Yeah, I’m sure Taylor’s devastated…
Does this man have a vote, concerning our sexuality? I realize that men need to know that the children they are supporting are their own – and they are worried… about their monies. However, it’s time to evolve as a species, and birth control has changed the shape of the human world.
Did anybody else think this was Michael Cera from the header pic?
I was so confused for a second there..
Kitten, yes!! I scrolled to see if I was the only one, they could be twins.
Yep, sure did. I was so confused… wondering when he got a tattoo and started going by that name.
Not Michael Cera, but maybe that guy who played McLovin’?
I was confused as well thinking he was Michael Cera
I never heard of this guy before, but he sure looks more like a professor than a rapper.
Lol sif Styles had sex with Taylor
Ikr?? I’m so sick of this attention whore. Taylor Swift has a very cozy professional relationship with The Sun. And they’re grade A trash peddlers, so what does that tell you? I think they wouldn’t publish anything like this without her ok. Basically she’s galvanizing her baby feminist fans (who will go in on the “slut shaming”) because God help us she’s going to release new music soon. So this no-name gets cheap publicity and Taylor gets her fanbase fired up. All she does is publicity stunt. Does she have a genuine bone in her body or is she truly the Frankenstein’s monster of showbiz?
And doesn’t everyone know that everyone she “dates” is either gay or a fellow attention whore? Styles would fall in the former category, I’m pretty sure.
Maybe she’s the one that’s gay. I don’t think Calvin is gay, Tom maybe, just kidding.
Thank Goodness!!!! Now I can ascend back up to heaven. OK I rarely do this but I’m gonna pull a ‘sherman & peabody’ by breaking out the “way back machine.’ All of these arranged pr “relationships” stand to serve (1) or (2) purposes. A few years ago Taylor admitted that the love songs she penned were based on her friends (Lena Dunham) relationships and not hers, as internet chatter was boiling over as to who these songs were actually about. Cue the pr machine as we saw her a) attempt to make more of the Jake thing by forcing her way into his sister’s house for Thanksgiving after a couple of dates to lend cover to writing 1/2 an album about their deep relationship. b) ditto with Harry. A couple of dates, then the sad boat ride back to hq’s, then flying to gb to ambush him as a faux attempt at reconciliation in another attempt to lend cover to writing 1/2 an album about him and again a couple of dates. Calvin was pr personified. Taylor trying to start a new romance 4 weeks before a world tour starts? Those crazy young lovers joined @ the hip until July 5. That picture of her riding on his back on July 4th, her fans said “aahhh cute”, I said “looks like a parasite found a host”. Then no photos or sightings for 2 months, then (1) staged dinner date/photo op and another 2 months between sightings. Dude doesn’t show up to the met ball or the Grammys ceremony (cause he’s working in l.a. wink) and she finally announces the break up after an accident @ midnight on a Friday nite where he is the passenger in his own car while a hot chick (not Taylor) is driving them (maybe back to Taylor’s house) probably back to his place. Next up Thor’s sidekick Loki. We all know that was a pr move staged the day before Kim’s gq magazine dropped to serve as a distraction. All this rush to romance and so much in our faces is a weak attempt to give these stunts (relationships) the illusion of a strong bond, when the only goal is to provide a source for all the love songs that are sure to keep coming from Taylor cause thats all that sells. Kind of odd that a soon to be 27 year old woman has yet (imo) to have an adult boyfriend. OK I’m done, but anyone with half a brain cell already knows how important it is for “perception to outshine reality” when it comes to entertainers like Taylor and Selena (lupus is now the new term for addiction, hmmm). Be weary of what people say while attempting to sell you things!
Hahaha!
Yes, the way to shut down “baby feminist fans” is to call her a whore.
Someone else talks about her, and you blame her. Hysterical.
LOL….
I wonder if she had sex with any of them. Harry, Tom and Calvin were named in the article of the men she dated in the past four years but wasn’t the Kennedy boy within those fours years as well?
Oh man. How dare she date two men in one year! What a little hussy! Taylor should get teased not for how many guys she dates (which isnt even a lot), but because she acts like each one is the love of her life. I mean she pretended to write an entire album based off of Harry Styles who she dated for less than two months. Any guy that acts like she’s too promiscuous can really go F off. Women can’t be too inexperienced and they also can’t be too experienced. We can’t win.
And there he said it……
God I hate Taylor Swift but this idiot is going to make me defend her. What kind of dumb name is Professor Green? Unless you’re that dude in Clue or a weed dealer, that’s the stupidest name. No wonder he isn’t popular stateside. Swift has 99 problems but this bitch ain’t one.
Ha! You made me LOL this morning…”unless you’re that dude in Clue or a weed dealer, that’s the stupidest name.” 😂
I know far too much about this guy, I am discovering. Blame it on being a Brit with tween sons!
Professor Green is a reference to being a) self taught and b) an ex-dealer selling, well, you can guess. Combined, as the Sixlets tell me to be a joke about Cluedo. To be fair, he’s about as street as a British white guy gets. From a deprived background. Not that this excuses the comment he made, however.
So this guy is popular with people your son’s age?
Is there even a thing as being a classically trained rapper? I just assumed they were all self taught. White Brits trying to rap is usually pretty funny, but this guy just sounds like a jerk.
I think – but the Sixlets are at school and I don’t always pay that much attention so don’t quote me! – the self taught thing isn’t about rap, it’s about being clever despite leaving school early/getting expelled or something like that.
I have no idea what his music is like and the Sixlets don’t like him for it so far as I’m aware. It’s the TV documentaries they like as I mention below. So for them, he’s on a par with other TV presenters in a similar youth vein, such as Reggie Yates or Stacey Dooley.
If you don’t think white British people are ‘street’ you need to go out in the UK abit more – maybe to the East End, what rubbish.
Stella – I think the word has different flavours depending on which side of the Pond you live. Remember the fuss about Anthony Horowitz saying Idris was too street for Bond?
I am 42 and I love his music. He has sense of humour and is very self deprecating and actually really came “from the streets”. His doco about his dad (who committed suicide) was very moving.
Lol. Thank you for the chuckle.
I’m in the same boat. I hate Taylor Swift. Truly, I loathe the woman. But now I hate professor Green even more for making me defend her.
There are a lot of reasons to dislike TS, but her sexuality has nothing to do with it. Nor does any woman’s, because it’s no one’s business. No one deserves to be shamed for their sexuality, even Taylor.
Ugh. I need to go brush my teeth, that was horrible.
Also, Professor Green, I wouldn’t date you because you look like Michael Cera trying to be Eminem and you have a neck tattoo. So there.
“I wouldn’t date you because you look like Michael Cera trying to be Eminem and you have a neck tattoo.”
This. Exactly this.
I thought he was Michael Cera at first and was confused as to why he was being referred to as Professor Green! Also, Professor Green is a really lame stage name.
Michael Cera! Thank you. I couldn’t figure out who he looked like. And that neck tattoo is hilarious.
Kind of off topic, but the neck tattoo reminded me- I once heard someone call neck tattoos, or people with them, “closed caskets”, which of course is now all I can think of when I see someone with one.
He sounds like an ass. I’m sure Taylor Swift is devastated that you won’t date her….
Michael Cera crossed with Jesse Eisenberg.
YOU. I like you. I vehemently agree with you.
=)
I vehemently agree with your name. Beer and Crumpets sounds pretty awesome right now.
I like any moniker with crumpets in it. I recall years ago a poster called “Crumpets and Crotchshots”. That one made me smile too. 🙂
Hear, hear! I also got no love for the Swift unicorn but I will defend to the death her right to date (and sleep with) as many dudes as she wants. Not your vagina, NOT your business is my motto. This dude can eff right off with his Caeser hair-cut, whey faced looking self.
I stand with you to defend freedom of vaginas! Consensual sex is none of my business.
I don’t think most people think Taylor is promiscuous. I don’t think people think she even has sex. This is the first time I heard anybody actually slut-shamed her. Taylor’s dating habits get attacked for ending so quickly and acting like each boyfriend is the love of her life. She used to act like they are Prince and Princess now she’s really cheesy with them.
Taylor gets slammed alot online for supposedly being a slut. Moreso than most female pop stars.
So what would he call it if he bagged a handful of groupie randos right after his divorce…because he could?
Research?
The double standard is nauseating. Shut up, little man.
Never heard of him.
Exactly.
I mean, his stupid comments aside, just because he isn’t known in the US doesn’t make him any less od a celebrity.
Kinda does though. Successful celebs come stateside to make it in the varsity league.
Some british celebs do. And very few othes. There’s a whole world out there with countries that have their celebrities. Being known in the US is not the only measure. Tom Brady is famous in the US, and could walk through most of Europe and not be looked at once.
I haven’t heard of about half the people written about on here!
This!
Thank you. I dont know how famous or succesful he is, but it’s rather silly to act like he’s no one justo because Americans dont know him.
It makes him less of a celebrity when it comes to dating Taylor Swift. She dates internationally famous men.
Not always. Apart from Calvin, Harry, Jake and Taylor at the heigt of Twillight, others haven’t been that well known. Especially Connor ( Conner?) and Joe Jonas who were practically anonymous.
I’m a Brit and I wish he hadn’t opened his mouth cos he’s just ruined all the good work he did recently with a documentary about the suicide of his dad , and one about about the rubbish dog breed laws here where innocent dogs are put down just because they fit a point system of criteria that so say makes them a banned breed … I have a Staffordshire bull terrier and I really liked him till this 😒
That’s it! I forgot the dog one. He did good work with those, didn’t he? This does seem out of character.
I love Staffies!
Yh he did, and it’s a subject that isn’t really getting much light in the mainstream media, so I really hope too this is a joke gone wrong! My staffy is my baby, a harmless slug who thinks he is a lap dog and loves nothing more than sprawling over the sofa. There is so much stigma attached to them, but I’d much rather be faced with a staffy than a border collie or a little dog than has no manners but owners think it’s acceptable because of their size!
They are fabulous dogs. My uncle, who is a building contractor, has one. The dog cries to be allowed to sleep in his work van. No idea why that’s his favourite place, but it is. Takes his blankie with him clutched in his jaw. Cutest thing ever!
Mine likes to suck on the corner of my quilt , they are funny breed, and so devoted to their families
I have a Staffordshire bull terrier too. Personally I think they are the superior breed of dog. So goofy. So loyal. If anyone tried to take my boy away from me, I would show them what hell looks like.
Slightly off subject here, but I was chatting with a friend who’s English and she mentioned that the requirements for animals to enter the UK are so strict that no one gets rabies there. Whaat??
You have to get a medical pet passport to bring animals into the UK, otherwise they have to be quarantined. Six months?
According to Auntie, the last death from rabies contracted indigenously was in 1902.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-18188682
It works well if you have to move abroad with British pets though. For example I can move to Canada with my babies without quarantine them, whilst some from USA to Canada can’t, because in USA there’s still rabies.
Really, I dont think him not liking Taylor Swift makes him any less of a good person. For crisis shakes Taylor makes millions writing fairytale songs of past relationship breakups. Calling in her promiscuous is a matter of opinion and doesn’t harm her not one bit.
I don’t think what he is saying is really all that damaging. I could careless about Ambe Rose slut shaming speech cause women do it to men also. That is true equal standards. But I am also the type of person who could careless what people think of me because I don’t have a chip on my shoulder.
It’s not about him ‘not liking’ Taylor Swift. A lot of people here don’t like her either (myself included). His labeling of her as ‘promiscuous’ isn’t just a matter of personal opinion because he doesn’t get to decide that Taylor Swift (or anyone else for that matter) is indiscriminate in who she’ll have sex with just because she’s dated or slept with more people than he feels she should.
And as a man it may be a little bit easier for you to care less about things like people labeling you or other men promiscuous (or sluts, wh*res, hookers, thots, hoes, etc.) or anything Amber Rose or other women have to say about the slut-shaming conversation because men and boys as a group don’t have the same exact history of being marked as less than and fair game for disrespect, discrimination, harassment, exclusion, or violence for being considered ‘skanky’. That doesn’t mean it’s ok to “slut-shame” men too, but it does mean that “slut-shaming” some men doesn’t have the same societal impact as doing it to women and girls. Even when people do try to pretend-equalize it by shaming men too, they tend to refer to the man as the one as degrading or victimizing the woman, and the woman as the trash/thing being degraded or as the self-harming person with no self-respect.
Oh, how disappointing. That doesn’t sound like him at all. Joke gone wrong?
This one has branched out from music into making issue-based documentaries for the BBC and their youth channel. They are very good – I’ve seen the homelessness one and the suicide one with the Sixlets and their little mates. He comes across very well and as very non-judgemental, anti-racist, anti-sexist, etc etc. Certainly, the Sixlets would listen to him so this isn’t welcome, bad joke or not.
I’m going to give him the benefit of the doubt as a joke gone wrong given a good history but will pay attention going forward.
I think I saw him on Nevermind the Buzzcocks (may it rest in peace) and he was pretty amusing. This disappointed me. I mean, not as much as the Buzzcocks getting canceled because I only discovered it recently by falling down a Noel Fielding rabbit hole… but still.
I’d hope it was a terrible joke? But even then… I don’t know how that could have been funny, unless he had been trying to be sarcastic… but the context doesn’t really work for that. Shame.
Buzzcocks was the one! Lamarr and Amstell both great n their own right
@Erinn off topic, but did you see 48 Hours in Copenhagen with Richard Ayoade and Noel Fielding.
Twas most amusing.
Yes! That is where I first saw him.
There is a guy that walks down my friend’s street every day that looks like Professor Green. While I was visiting her, I kept missing seeing him, but I finally did get to see him and it was one of my favorite moments of my trip! She tries to snap pictures when she can. It’s just a silly running joke, but it makes me have a soft spot for him. Plus when I’ve seen him in various things, he’s seemed interesting and funny.
Buzzcocks getting cancelled was awful. I love Rhod Gilbert and was so excited for him to be hosting it. He got one season and it was all gone!
I like him and agree its not like him to get involved in stuff like this, however as you say it could be a joke being misinterpreted. He has quite a sarcastic sense of humour.
Considering he’d date Rita whose love life is as colourful almost as Taylor’s, maybe he doesnt even know what promiscuos means. It feels like he misused the word.
Professor Green sounds like the name of a character on a children’s show that tells them how eating vegetables is good for them.
Who?
Taylor is clearly missing out!
He’s a weird cat. I tend to think he overcompensates for a rough upbringing; but he’s definitley obsessed with toffs, and, at times, tries to project a 19th century, to-the-manor-born attitude — which is a foil for his aesthetics (if that makes sense). His marriage to Millie? WTF? He was all concerned about her being a “proper lady” too. (Now, granted, Millie could probably stand a stay at rehab…but still.)
Wouldn’t be surprised if someone in his family was a sex worker or something and he resents it, because he seems to have visceral issues surrounding women’s sexuality — which he needs to get in check. He needs to cut this Madonna-Whore shit out.
‘he seems to have visceral issues surrounding women’s sexuality — which he needs to get in check. He needs to cut this Madonna-Whore shit out.’
this. in fact i’m surprised to see people praising him at all. i mean, he might have made some good documentaries but it’s not like he’s never been problematic before.
Thanks so much for this context! It never makes the madonna-whore complex acceptable, not at all, but it does help me understand this sentiment in light of his overall attitude.
It is 2016 and I can’t believe people still think this way (though I know so many do think this way and he’s articulating what ought to be unacceptable).
kaiser i’m a 100% with you on ts’ love life; it’s normal and healthy however:
‘Her problem is how she behaves in those relationships, not that she dates different guys.’ we don’t know how she behaves. i’m not a stan, but a lot of what is said about taylor’s relationships is based on inherent misogyny e.g. she can’t keep a man (why does she have to??), she’s clingy (and?? i dated plenty of men who were clingy and did my head in b/c i hate clinginess, it’s not a characteristic specific to women).
also the idea of promiscuous needs to die right about now. even if taylor or any celeb was actually promiscuous, that’s their business. no one needs to be judged based on how much sex they have or with who. professor green is a twat, always has been tbqh.
I would have to disagree. I think the criticism of her has to do with how she publicly treats the men she’s dated. While she’s dating them and after. She publicly attacks and encourages other to attack women that she believes have moved in on somebody she wants. She purposefully has high profile romances (which is her right), but then after they are over she writes mean songs about them. Seriously?
‘She publicly attacks and encourages other to attack women that she believes have moved in on somebody she wants.’
you’re exaggerating, and it never happened. all i can think of is that song she wrote about the new gf of an ex when taylor was like, idk 19? she herself said fairly recently it was a crap thing to do.
‘but then after they are over she writes mean songs about them’
as do all artists. did people take bon jovi to task when he wrote ‘you give love a bad name’ for diane lane (just to pick one, there are countless examples)
Aren’t you being a tad too harsh on Taylor. Her relationships are bound to be high profile because she is currently a major celebrity. The paps literally hound her everywhere she goes. I have never heard Taylor attacking or encouraging others to attack her previous boyfriends. Care to provide receipts! Songs do not count.
When we say it’s how she behaves, it’s about The very public rollout of every relationship. The acting like every single guy is the one no matter who it is. The borderline stalking of boyfriends after they break up. The obvious references to these relationships in her music, designed to generate gossip interest to sell songs. There is definitely some misogyny in the way people talk about Taylor, but some of it is valid.
But again, I think Professor Green in the library with the revolver is wrong here.
When you read the quote u can see that he was wrong to use the word promiscuous in the context of the point he was trying to make. He basically said he wouldn’t date her as she jumps from one relationship to the other with the speed/agility of a cat chasing a mouse. Am not sure he was intentionally trying to sl@t shame her.
I may not like her but her sex life is her business.
“…The idea of promiscuous needs to die right about now.” Most people use the word wrong anyway, in either an “Anyone who has sex outside of marriage with more people than I think they should or consider the norm here is promiscuous” sort of way, or an “anything other than modesty in the way a woman dresses or presents herself (clothing, dance, etc.)= sexual promiscuity” sort of way. Promiscuous actually means indiscriminate. Saying someone is indiscriminate in who they’ll have sex with just because she’s had more sex than you have or than you think she ‘should’ or because of something like clothing is just more of that patriarchal “if she won’t save it for this or that situation, she must be fair game for any and every” rhetoric.
Shut up dude.
Every time Taylor is linked to someone, all I say is “get that D. , girl!” – So good for her if she gets to have fun with several handsome men
Yes I agree. And yes, her boyfriends are all handsome. Calvin Harris has a body to die for. Tom is tall and handsome and a wonderful actor.
Maybe TS’s team are in on this, as the rumours about Taytay and Cara Eyebrows won’t seem to go away.
Either that or Prof Green knows that mentioning Swifty is worth a thousand clicks.
Just for the record I will not be dating Michael Fassbender, Tom Hiddleston or Mark Strong, for reasons.
Did his wife leave him for Taylor or why does he feel like name dropping her? This is so random and unasked for. Also she can be as “promiscuous” as she god damn wants.
“Anyway… just further evidence that men are still labeling women “promiscuous” for having a healthy dating life.”
Come on, women throw around words like “promiscuous” and “sl*t” and “wh*re” a lot more than guys, and don’t pretend that that isn’t the truth.
women can be misogynist too, it’s nothing new. professor green, for all we know, is a bloke.
And that makes it okay? It shouldn’t be tolerated from anyone, man or woman.
Aren’t you the Trump supporter one? I see the consistency then.
Both men and women use words like “promiscuous/slut/hooker/whore/thot/trick/ho”, it’s hard to say which gender uses them more. The fact that women slut-shame a lot too doesn’t change the fact that some of the abuses and violence slut-shaming enables is committed by more by men than women, make it ok for either gender, or make it just a problematic girl thing. The fact that women do it and defend it too just shows how much women have internalized the victim-blaming messages they get and how women have gotten used to the idea that their purity/modesty is their worth and respectability. (There are even liberal and feminist women who don’t get what’s wrong with equating the way a woman is dressed with sexual offers or sexual activity. You see it every Halloween but you see it on a regular basis throughout the year too.) Misogynistic, rape-culture-supporting women need to be called out just as much as misogynistic, rape-culture-supporting men.
So the existence of misogynistic women gives all men a pass to say misogynistic things? Alright then.
Also not sure about your circle but my friends/family and I certainly do not talk that way. I can distinctly remember the last time I even heard someone use the word sl*t. It was at a work function several years ago and everyone was shocked when a man said it during a networking event. Like several agape mouths. That was the last time I’ve even heard the word spoken aloud in my real life.
I’m a woman and I have never referred to anyone as a slut or promiscuous. Neither do any of my friends or family members. I have used the term “whore” but in the context of someone seeking attention, not in reference to their sexual activity.
Wow, Taylor Swift promiscuous? Bwahhhhhhhaa. If she is, then idk what that made me when I was single. You would think a guy with a tattoo on his neck would be open-minded. Just cause she dated them, that doesn’t mean she had sex with them, ffs.
I looked up the word promiscuous online, and it refers to a person having sexual relationships with more than one person concurrently. Taylor only dated one man at a time so she is not promiscuous. Even if she were promiscuous, who are we to judge?
Ok, wait… Taylor dates two dudes in a year and she’s too promiscuous, but he’d go for Rita Ora? Either woman can do whatever they want without being shamed for it, but Rita’s reputation is certainly not virginal. I dont get this guy’s definition of promiscuous.
Exactly!!that’s what i thought when i read it!!!
Rita Ora is textbook casting couch & bumping for tracks so it’s curious that he points the finger at TS, but not Rita. It’s most likely because he actually has a shot with Rita. Anyone who can propel her career does.
So. Rita Ora? Bwahahaha!
Yeah… I don’t think he needs to worry about it. I don’t exactly see her beating down his door.
And he can get lost with that “promiscuous” garbage. Taylor can do whatever she wants, and no one asked what he thinks about it.
I think it is pretty funny that this nobody thinks Taylor Swift even knows who he is let alone would want to date him. I can’t stand Swift but this bozo makes me want to defend her.
Never heard of him, and don’t really care what his pithy little opinion is. Plus, it’s not like he’s attractive. He can go back to his cave now, thankyouverymuch.
LOL! I love when men declare that they wouldn’t date a woman who probably never even wanted to date them anyway.
Hahah yes! Taylor Swift being ‘too promiscuous’ for Prof. Green is the new Salma Hayek being ‘too short’ for Donald Trump. Yeah THAT’S why you’re not dating them!
F%CK This Guy
Am I the only one who reads that quote and sees the word promiscuous as referring to how much she’s been in the public eye rather than her sex life? He seemed to be talking about how busy she is with work. Or to use the dictionary definitions, “demonstrating or implying an unselective approach; indiscriminate or casual” rather than “having or characterized by many transient sexual relationships.” I haven’t read the actual thing that this quote was taken from and I don’t know anything about Prof. Green, I’m just going by what was actually quoted.
Also, based on that quote I don’t see how he thinks he would “get a shot” with her since he says he thinks she’d be too busy to go on a date with him anyway. It just seems like a fair bit of this could be from taking it out of context. Or am I being astonishingly naive?
UPDATE: Professor Green has Instagrammed about his use of the word which I guess debunks my interpretation: https://www.instagram.com/p/BMGeHYCjl4Q/
Basically, he found it an odd question b/c it’s up to two people whether they date or not, he himself has been called promiscuous recently and no slander or double standard was meant.
ADDITIONAL: OK, I’ve just sullied myself by actually visiting the Dail Fail’s website and it turns out that this instagram post is on that page too. As you were.
“Promiscuous” is such a loaded word; its not one people throw around (or they shouldn’t). I don’t doubt he deliberately chose the word in order to slut shame her. Even if it was spontaneous it shows his attitude to women. His retraction after the fact was damage control and it was weak. No pass from me. One thing this horrible US election has shown me is that we can’t let this garbage slide. We’ve let people get away with disparaging women’s sexuality for way too long.
He is a ‘professor’, he should be able to figure that out.
‘Professor’ Green needs to shut it. Asshat.
I am a Amy Winehouse fan so I have heard of Professor Green. He looks like an old Michael Cera.
‘This is the kind of sh-t that Amber Rose talks about, and when Amber hears about this’
Is she the guru for the people of site? Gosh people set their standards way to low it’s laughable
I don’t know what I’m annoyed at more, his comments in and of themselves or the fact that his comments are making me defend Swift, lol.
Seriously, though, (1) who? and (2) those comments are at best stupid.
Let’s replace “promiscuous” with “neck tattoo” real quick: “He has a neck tattoo and, with that in mind, I would sprint for the door.”
You’re free to have your opinion, Professor, but that doesn’t mean you’re not being discriminatory, intolerant and dismissive. People are more than who they’ve dated or how they look.
And you WISH you had a shot with Taylor – Ms. Swift if you’re nasty.
“Her problem is how she behaves in those relationships” < THIS!!!
When she is in the relationship she behaves like some random d-list attention wh()re. For some reason when she is "in love" she stops to listen to her pr people. LOL.
This guy has a mean looking face. I’ve never been able to get over it when it stares out at me from the Daily Mail, my guilty pleasure reading site.
Oh, my guilty pleasure site as well. Really, really guilty. Thankfully, American tabloids don’t mix extreme right wing political propaganda with celebrity as this one does. I feel guilty seeing the hateful propaganda posts on the left but the celebrity gossip posts on the rights are just too crazy to ignore. So many posts about so many people who seem to have been forgotten by everyone else. Where else do you see random pap pics of Christina Millian? They have been my introduction to the British celebs as well. Super interesting!
Haha. He must be joking right!? Taylor is far from promiscuous. My god, a woman can’t date a few men a year without being spoken poorly of.
I don’t find her dating life healthy at all. She starts “casually dating (in her world means serious and about to get proposed). She stalks the guy. Then, she suddenly breaks up and write a song about the failed relationship… Oh, it is always the guy’s fault. Is this a healthy dating life?
F*@K this guy. I don’t like Taytay but this guy has no reason to mouth off about what he thinks about her sex life.
…but he’d go for Rita Ora?
I really want Taylor to date someone called Dick next.
Geez if she’s too promiscuous I must have been the Wh*te of Babylon in my single years.
Geez if she’s too promiscuous I must have been the Wh*re of Babylon in my single years.
… because he’s really have a shot at Swifty. Wayyyyyy out of his league.
Also, I’m sure he’s as pure as the driven snow himself.
He is obviously unaware of Rita Ora’s reputation as a ‘promiscuous’ woman. For the record, I live in the UK and couldn’t name or recognise one tune.
I’m sorry and you are?
This guy might be a minor celebrity, but he is like every neckbeard internet commenter. “Oh, Angelina Jolie. She’s a dog. I would never date her.” Hmmm, okay then.
They’re the guys who call a woman names if she rejects their overtures. Green knows TS would never date him, so he’s preemptively calling her a slut. Ora might date him, so he won’t call her names. Unless she tells him to take a hike, in which case he’ll drag her too.
Who the hell is he?
He looks like a tallywacker in a tuxedo. Like a lil’ peener with ears going to a black tie affair.
I’m British and I literally have only heard of him because the main character on Bad Education (who’s supposed to be a clueless rich twat who is desperate to be “down wiv da kidz” got excited about possibly meeting him.
Yes, anyway, I’m sure Taylor is crying into her cats that some rando wouldn’t date her. Like he wouldn’t lick her boots if she ever so much as glanced his way in person.
I won’t date Taylor Swift until she loses 5 pounds. Even if she asks….
Even if she asks… Taylor? Hello? Asks?
snif. She’ll ask… I know it….
I am always amazed at how threatened men are by women who exhibit the same behaviors they do.
Much as I’ve loved the docs he’s done (the ‘Dangerous Dogs’ one in particular which broke my heart), he has regular asshole tendancies.
I know he’s come back with a ‘mea culpa’ on the ‘promiscuous’ thing but no one with any inate decency would have publicly used that term to describe a woman in such a dismissive way.
So yeah, 100% asshole in this instance.
Haha… well, here I am without a “Clue.” When I saw the headline, I thought, “how the hell is that guy even old enough to date, much less be a professor?” Never heard of him, and hope to never hear of him again for making me defend TS.
In what world is Taylor Swift going to date this pinheaded Michael Cera? Don’t worry, idiot, she won’t come anywhere near you.
Everyone is defending Taylor yet calling Rita a slut. Oh please.
I get what he’s saying. It’s not even about sex (obviously she can have as many partners as she pleases), it’s more about…I don’t know, she just seems shallow, treats her relationships like a game. I wouldn’t want to be assosiated with such person eaither. This seems more like “ridiculousness shaming” than slut shaming
Yeah he tried to backtrack on his IG but NOPE. Own it dude – you made a crap comment.
If I wanna take a guy home with me tonight It’s none of your business! And if she wanna be a freak n sell it on the weekend it’s none of your business!!
So over these little boys.
Ew. Dude, stand down.
aw, the professor had to use stunt lovin, phony-balogna TS for a little pr.
not very clever is he?
surprised he didn’t drag a kartrashian into the mix for some extra extra.
this guy -such a desperate toddler. laughable.
I call BS on this one, just because one of my friends knows him well, and he is very very respectful to women. He grew up with only his mother & grandmother (his father committed suicide when he was younger) and views himself a feminist. I don’t see why this would matter to him.
I don’t see him saying this to be honest from what I have heard from my mate.
I think Taylor Swift’s problem might be the opposite. A lot of men break it off with her by the third month. I believe she is not having sex with most of the men she dates and that is why they break up with her.
I don’t think this is a bad thing. I think good for her. She gets to see what they are really like before she sleeps with them.
Would Prof Green ever get the chance?
She could date 100 men for all I care. It doesn’t matter how many she dates, it’s that she’s a lying manipulative famewh… who exploits her relationships for cash, that’s the problem with her.
He’s such a sad little c*ckwomble.
That will always remain my favourite British insult.
All I know is WHO??!?!?!? This Clue-named twat needs to step off. Also, Taylor looks TERRIBLE in that picture. Fire the stylist, stat. Or maybe she’s just pregnant by Tom?
