"I decided that I was a feminist. And this seemed uncomplicated to me. But my recent research has shown me that feminism has become an unpopular word. Women are choosing not to identify as feminists. Apparently I am among the ranks of women whose expressions are seen as too strong, too aggressive, isolating, anti-men and unattractive. Why has the word become such an uncomfortable one? I am fro Britain and think it is right that I am paid the same my male counterparts. I think it is right that I should be able to make decisions about my own body. I think it is right that women be involved on my behalf in the policies and decisions that will affect my life. I think it is right that socially I am afforded the same respect as men." - Emma Watson

"I feel like part of the issue is this idea that [men] are meant to be resilient. This surprised me: men commit suicide at a rate of 3:1 to women. Which is 'cause it's better to be a dude! You get paid more. You get male privilege. You've got the patriarchy on your side. You don't menstruate! It's good! It's really good! Up until the age of 8 or 9, boys cry the same amount as girls ... and then they get taught to stop. They're not allowed anymore. And it's ridiculous! And this fear of looking weak, or looking feminine or looking gay ... is stopping men from talking about their feelings. And they they kill themselves." - Josh Thomas
