Celebrity Women Who Insist They Are NOT Feminists

The #MeToo hashtag and Time’s Up movement dominate the Hollywood headlines. So it would be easy to assume all of Hollywood’s women are fighting for equal rights. But for their own reasons, many famous women have distanced themselves from feminism.

And they’ve done so publicly in the press. Boasting top names like Katy Perry and Kelly Clarkson, the list of female celebs who swear they aren’t feminists is sure to shock you.

According to British singer-songwriter Lily Allen, we’re all equal–and there’s absolutely no need for feminism! “Feminism. I hate that word because it shouldn’t even be a thing any more,” she said.

“We’re all equal, everyone is equal so why is there even a conversation about feminism? What’s the man version of feminism? There isn’t even a word for it.

There’s no reason for it.”

Who needs feminism when you have humanism? According to actress Demi Moore, feminism is far too restrictive of a label when regarding actual, total equality.

“I am a great supporter of women, but I have never really thought of myself as a feminist, probably more of a humanist because I feel like that’s really where we need to be,” she said.

“I think clearly times have changed and women have made their mark in many different arenas.”

Just because actress Shailene Woodley is an activist doesn’t mean she’s a feminist, OK? Speaking to Nylon magazine, Woodley revealed that she’s not really a fan of labels–of any sort.

“The reason why I don’t like to say that I am a feminist or I am not a feminist is because to me it’s still a label,” she said. “I do not want to be defined by one thing. Why do we have to have that label to divide us?

We should all be able to embrace one another regardless of our belief system and regardless of the labels that we have put upon ourselves.”

While Meghan Trainor DEFINITELY isn’t a feminist, she still wants to impact the world in a distinctly positive way.

“I don’t consider myself a feminist, but I’m down for my first opportunity to say something to the world to be so meaningful,” said Trainor. “If you asked me, ‘What do you want to say?’ it would be, ‘Love yourself more.

'”
