I am a feminist. I don't especially care for the term, but there it is.

I really am a feminist, though I never used to call myself that.

I know a lot of women who embody what it means to be a feminist but do not want to use that word. The misperceptions about what it's all about have gotten into their heads.

There are a lot of people who say, 'Yeah yeah, I'm a feminist,' and they're not, actually. I wouldn't want to throw that word around, because it's a very strong thing.

Feminism is a word that I identify with. The term has become synonymous with vitriolic man-hating but it needs to come back to a place where both men and women can embrace it. It is particularly important for women in developing countries.

I'm a feminist in the true sense of the word. It's about equality.

I think people take the word 'feminist' really seriously, and I think people are scared to use that word.

Feminism was a dirty word for a while.

The idea of what a feminist is has changed so much that there needs to be a new word for it.
