It was a community with a shared purpose - to live in peace.
This is a culture filled with perfect images of women and perfect images of movie actresses, and most people can't live up to them.

We try to push such crazy ideals onto young women: the Hollywood version of what they should look like, what they should do, and the kind of Prince Charming they should be looking for. We should just be proud of who we are, because we can't be anybody else. So what's the point of trying?

'The Haunted Man' is about communication barriers between men and women, and in that song it's a woman's wait for her husband to come back from war.

I feel it's very important to remove labels; the progress in fashion will be when people completely cut out the words 'plus size' from their vocabulary and accept that women come in many sizes - especially over a size 4. Once that happens, I feel as though inclusiveness of body type will finally start happening.

The leaders of the Women's March, arguably the most prominent feminists in the country, have some chilling ideas and associations.

I believe that it's condescending to think that women and their claims can't stand up to interrogation and can't handle skepticism.
Our culture hasn't stopped objectifying women. We - men and women both - are just getting better at pretending it's not happening.
