Taylor Swift has absolutely no time for sexist interview questions. The “Me!” singer shut down a German radio show host this week who actually asked her if she plans on settling down anytime soon with her boyfriend, Joe Alwyn, and having children.

This all comes courtesy of The Whisp, who translated Swift’s tactful response to the question. “I really doubt men get asked the same question when they turn 30. I’m not going to answer that question,” she said. Say it louder for the people in the back, Tay!

Swift has a long, badass history of calling out sexist double standards. Remember in 2014, when she shut down everyone who’s said the only thing she does is write songs about her ex-boyfriends?

“You’re going to have people who are going to say, ‘Oh, you know, like, she just writes songs about her ex-boyfriends.’ And I think frankly that’s a very sexist angle to take,” she said on the Australian radio show Jules, Merrick & Sophie, according to Time. “No one says that about Ed Sheeran. No one says that about Bruno Mars. They’re all writing songs about their exes, their current girlfriends, their love life, and no one raises the red flag there.”

It’s been quite a busy few weeks for Taylor Swift. She triumphantly returned to pop music on April 26 with the candy-color bop “Me!,” which is enjoying success on Billboard‘s Hot 100. She’s currently on the promotion circuit, performing the song everywhere from the Billboard Music Awards to The Graham Norton Show in the U.K. She appeared on the latter program this week alongside Sophie Turner. (If you forget, Swift dated Turner’s current husband, Joe Jonas, once upon a time.)

No word yet on where Swift’s headed next on her press tour—but hopefully this is the last sexist question she’s asked.
