Katy Perry is a Feminist Now, Still Doesn't Understand Feminism
Oh, Katy.  I was excited to see that you had finally changed your mind and embraced feminism, seeing as youâre an influential public figure and someone who deals with sexism often as a pop star in the music industry.  Unfortunately, during an interview with Karl Stefanovic of The Today Show in Australia, you still couldnât quite get a grip of the wordâs meaning:
"I used to not really understand what that word meant but now that I do, it just means that I love myself as a female and I also love men."
Not quite. Â Itâs great that you love yourself, sure, but Iâd like to take a second of your time and actually define feminism for you. Â Actually, other celebrities who have announced themselves as non-feminists should listen in as well (Iâm looking at you, Lady Gaga and Kelly Clarkson).
According to Merriam-Webster, feminism is defined as âthe belief that men and women should have equal rights and opportunities.â Â Not clear enough? Â Hereâs another definition: âthe theory of the political, economic, and social equality of the sexes.â Â Get it now?
Letâs educate ourselves in the future before making claims about something weâre clueless on.  Katy, I donât doubt that, by definition, youâd be a feminist, but please stop spreading false information around.
Roar once if yes, twice if no.
So youâre offended that she included âloving menâ as a part of her feminism?
Now see, this is what I am opposed to. Who placed you in charge as The Feminist Police to tell other women what they can and canât do?
Why do you quote the dictionary like itâs some unquestionable Bible? Does that mean you are the preacher who cannot be questioned? Anyone can quote a dictionary.
And one more thing, what qualifies you to be the sole authority on what feminism is? Who appointed you the guardian over Katy Perryâs life, or any other woman for that matter?
This is what I canât stand about feminists. They immediately place themselves in charge of other women and then project all their insecurities and issues with men onto you.
No thanks. I donât need to be told what to wear, how to think, what music I am allowed to enjoy.
