Feminism has never been sexy, but let me assure you that it never stopped me from flirting, and I have seldom suffered from lack of men.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I'm not a type of feminist who is afraid to be sexy.
I actually have a peculiar feminism that does not involve the idea that women shouldn't be sexy. Female characters written in comics have always been pretty damned sexy, and used their sexuality. And I don't have any problem with that.
Historically, men have a hard time getting onboard with feminism, but I think that's changing.
I think that feminists have definitely underestimated the role that women have had historically. I think I would be insecure if I were to be a man; there's so much pressure on you.
Feminism in some ways has become quite dormant.
The fact is, feminism is not what it used to be.
I respect women like Gloria Steinem who paved the way. But when you say 'feminist' now, there is a message that if you are sexy and you acknowledge that part of your personality publicly, then it's somehow an affront to women. And I reject that.
Feminism has been so co-opted, but the fact is, feminism benefits men as well.
The word feminism needs to be taken back. It needs to be reclaimed in a way that is inclusive of men.
It's such a male-dominated industry. You can be a feminist, it's just difficult because it sometimes comes back at you.
