Taylor Swift slammed Netflix on Monday after a "sexist" joke from "Ginny & Georgia" circulated online.

The dramedy series, which was released on Wednesday, follows a mixed-race teenager Ginny (Antonia Gentry) and her mom Georgia (Brianne Howey) as they navigate life in a new town. In the season finale, the pair get into a fight about the high schooler's recent dating troubles.

"What do you care? You go through men faster than Taylor Swift," Ginny quips.

Swift fans took notice of the line Sunday evening, when "RESPECT TAYLOR SWIFT" began trending on Twitter. Many called the line "misogynistic" and said it amounted to slut-shaming.

On Monday morning, Swift herself weighed in.

"Hey Ginny & Georgia, 2010 called and it wants its lazy, deeply sexist joke back," she wrote on Twitter. "How about we stop degrading hard working women by defining this horse shit as FuNnY."

"Also, @netflix after Miss Americana this outfit doesn't look cute on you," she added. "Happy Women's History Month I guess."

Swift's own documentary, "Miss Americana," premiered on Netflix on January 31, 2020. The film examined the detrimental effects of sexism on her personal life, career, and self-esteem.

Indeed, the 31-year-old "Folklore" singer has been outspoken about the rampant slut-shaming she faced as she came of age in Hollywood.

As a young and diaristic lyricist, Swift was often dismissed as "boy-crazy," or accused of only being able to write mean songs about her exes.

"People were just kind of reducing me to, like, kind of making slideshows of my dating life and putting people in there that I'd sat next to at a party once," Swift told Apple Music's Zane Lowe in 2019.

"It's a way to take a woman who's doing her job and succeeding at doing her job and making things, and - in a way - it's figuring out how to completely minimize that skill by taking something that everyone in their darkest, darkest moments loves to do, which is just to slut-shame," Swift added.

"So now when I see this happening, I can see a headline about a young artist, about a young female artist, about another breakup, and it sends me into a real sad place because I don't want that to keep happening."

Representatives for Netflix did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment.
