What is feminism? Simply the belief that women should be as free as men, however nuts, dim, deluded, badly dressed, fat, receding, lazy, and smug they might be.

To me, feminism is such a simple description: it's equal rights, economic rights, political rights, and social rights.

Feminism was about making women's lives less constrained and giving them more choices.

Feminism is just about equality, really, and there's so much stuff attached to the word, when it's actually so simple. I don't know why it's always so bogged down.

The word, and the concept of feminism, was a gift because it gave me a sense of identity and a way of defining how I wished to live my life.

Women stand for the objective world for a man. They stand for the thing that you're not and that's what you always reach for in a song.

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

When I was coming of age, I remembered reading and studying the initial ideas within the feminist movement. There was this idea with my parents' generation that in order to find equality, a woman would need to behave like a man.

If you're female, and you want to express your femininity, you're actually demonized in the 'Free To Be... You And Me' generation.

Feminism to me means fighting. It's a very nuanced, complex thing, but at the very core of it I'm a feminist because I don't think being a girl limits me in any way.
