Hillary Clinton Campaign Press Release - 7 Proud Feminists Who Aren't Apologizing

"Feminism" isn't a bad word.

When Emma Watson delivered a landmark speech at the U.N.'s HeforShe launch last year, she was urged to scrap the word "feminism" from her remarks.

But, as she revealed earlier this week, she refused:

"I thought long and hard and ultimately felt that it was just the right thing to do," she recalled in a recent interview. "If women are terrified to use the word, how on earth are men supposed to start using it?"

Emma is spot on—and she's not alone. Also on the list of proud feminists:

" I think some big actors and musicians feel like they have to speak to their audience and that word [feminism] is confusing to their audience. But I don't get it. That's like someone being like, ?I don't really believe in cars, but I drive one every day and I love that it gets me places and makes life so much easier and faster and I don't know what I would do without it.'"

" The term feminist is so inclusive now. There isn't one way to be a feminist or to practice feminism, to exercise feminism. You can be feminist in lots of different ways because the point is freedom of choice."

" I am a feminist. When I stop and think about it, there's no other way I can label myself. I am for women."

" All men should be feminists. If men care about women's rights, the world will be a better place."

" I've always considered myself a feminist, although I was always afraid of that word because people put so much on it when honestly, it's very simple. It's just a person that believes in equality for men and women."

" I'm a feminist because I believe in women... it's a heavy word, feminism, but it's not one I think we should run from. I'm proud to be a feminist."

And, of course, Hillary Clinton.?
