PEOPLE WHO SUPPORT GENDER EQUALITY
JENNIFER ANISTON
Aniston spoke out about the constant scrutinizing of women's appearance and lives.
Aniston wrote, "We use celebrity 'news' to perpetuate this dehumanizing view of females, focused solely on one’s physical appearance, which tabloids turn into a sporting event of speculation. Is she pregnant? Is she eating too much? Has she let herself go? Is her marriage on the rocks because the camera detects some physical 'imperfection'?”
Aniston really drove it home, saying, “The objectification and scrutiny we put women through is absurd and disturbing.” A million times, yes!
BARACK OBAMA
Following his rousing speech this summer at the first-ever White House Summit on the United State of Women, the President penned an essay for Glamour about feminism and what it means to him. "Michelle and I have raised our daughters to speak up when they see a double standard or feel unfairly judged based on their gender or race—or when they notice that happening to someone else," he wrote. "It's important for them to see role models out in the world who climb to the highest levels of whatever field they choose. And yes, it's important that their dad is a feminist, because now that's what they expect of all men."
