Rowan Blanchard has recently spoken at the Woman’s March on January 21st and to celebrate how much she has grown as a feminist, I have piled together some of her best feminist quotes.
“I love fashion. We all do… But we shouldn’t be taken less seriously because we’re in dresses.”
“It is so important to protect trans women and trans youth as they are incredibly at risk when it comes to sexual assault and hate crimes. People also seem to forget that black women are victims of police violence too- from Sandra Bland to India Clarke- a trans woman…”
“Unfortunately, a lot of white feminist forget that feminism means equality. It means equality for trans women and equality for black women.”
“But don’t make my story, and who I am, be my dress, while my male costar’s story is how he picks scripts and gets inspired.”
“I have made a very big point at making sure my personal feminism includes everyone- and educating myself and discussing these topics have really helped.”
“With as many issues as feminist have succeeded in adopting, many of us seem to have not accepted the fact that police brutality and race issues are our issues too.”
“Society was telling them that if you speak out you’re going to be labeled, like, this feminist crazy person, difficult, difficult to work with- and that, in itself, is very sexist.”
“I think it’s important for girls to recognize feminist issues because it directly affects them.”
“The way a black woman experiences sexism and inequality is different from the way a white woman experiences sexism and inequality.”
“In a country that can achieve marriage equality, shouldn’t gender equality be next?”
