Hey! Not everyone can be Beyonce.
It’s 2016 (even though we are just 4 days into 2016). People still assume feminist are just man haters. They don’t understand that feminism fights for equality among men and women. They don’t understand that feminism fights for everyone (transwomen,LGBT+, disable, and people of color (etc). Regardless of these facts, there are still women who spit on feminism and continue to think negativlely about it.
Katy Perry
A strong woman is a feminist (Rosie the Riveter hello??). I’m not sure if Katy did her research or not. Additionally, she is saying we do not need feminism (wage gap and rape culture, Katy come on!).
Years later she did decide to claim feminism, but she’s still confused by the whole concept.
Lana Del Rey
The idea of feminism totally repluses Lana. How can fighting for the equality of men and women disgust you?!
She apologized a year later and still made no sense.
Shailene Woodley
In an interview with Time Magazine, she completely denounced feminism.
A year after she said that, she still stuck to her guns and said she still isn’t a feminist.
Kelly Clarkson
She later apologized.
Carrie Underwood
She still isn’t a feminist.
Lady Gaga
She later changed her tune and became a feminist.
The most shocking part about these quotes is how far women will go to trash feminism. Really, feminism isn’t harming anyone (unless it’s a radical feminist). It’s still very disappointing that feminism still has a negative reputation. Celebrities like Beyonce are combatting the misconceptions and disgust around feminism. Hopefully one day everyone is a feminist.
