7 Celebrity Quotes on Feminism You Need to Read ...

In case you missed Emma Watson's UN speech about gender equality, you need to go watch that NOW. Seriously, it's life changing. She delivered such an eloquent speech and brought up so many amazing points. Feminism does NOT mean you hate men... feminism means you believe that men and women should have equal opportunities. This is just one of many celebrity quotes on feminism that you'll love reading.

Beyonce is one of the biggest advocates for feminism. I mean, remember her VMA performance? She danced in front of a huge sign that simply read 'feminism'. She's one of the biggest names in the world and totally has the right idea about feminism - the idea that we need to start teaching this and the next generation the importance of gender equality. Soon enough, it'll become the natural way of living.

I love this quote SO much. I think girls who don't define themselves as feminists are just confused about what it actually means. Of course, if they were to travel back in time and see the inequalities, they'd be pushing for this movement. Who wants to live in a world where both men and women aren't equal?

Claire Danes is one of the biggest names in the industry which makes her so awesome. I definitely agree with her that today, women have a lot more freedom and influence, but that's not nearly enough. We'll know when we're equal and the time has not come yet but it's coming, ladies, it's coming.

I love this because Mark Ruffalo's views should be shared by every son/father/brother/husband. Women should have the power to choose and the power to reach as high as they would like to. Honestly, I never understood how some guys could question feminism... just think about your wife, mother, sister, and daughter! What kind of life do you want for them? What kind of life do you want for the future generation?

The sad thing about this quote is that it's true until this day. Why do people find the concept of feminism weird or funny? I mean, if you ask me, "feminism" should just be renamed to "common sense" because that's what it is. It should be a topic of discussion and the discussion should always be centered around how we can progress this movement. We can't underestimate the power that we have to make a change in this world!

Like Rashida, everyone should believe in the unadulterated advancement of women. We can't deny that we've come a long way but we also can't deny that we have a long road ahead of us. I admire Rashida so much because she's such a powerful woman and is definitely proving that girls can go out and conquer the world.

Well, there you have it. These are just seven out of SO many awesome and inspiring celebrity quotes on feminism. In fact, a lot of celebrities have joined in on Emma Watson's #HeForShe campaign and you can do the same on heforshe.org. Do you consider yourself a feminist?
