Amber Rose just dropped some feminist knowledge — again.
In a interview with The Guardian ;on Tuesday, the author, model and budding feminist activist discussed women’s sexuality and how important it is to include men in feminist conversations. ;
“Being a feminist is not just talking to women, it’s talking to guys too,” Rose told The Guardian. ;“That’s extremely important. It starts with us embracing each other and being role models for each other, and bringing that awareness to our sons and the men around us.”
She added that she hopes to raise her 2-year-old son Sebastian to be a badass feminist. ;“I just want my son to be a male feminist and that means he believes in equality,” she said. “That’s it.” Like mama, like son. ;
Rose said that a large part of her come-to-feminism moment came from years of witnessing women being shamed for their sexualities. ;“I used to call women sluts and whores all the time. Because that’s what society taught me: That that was O.K. and that it was what I was supposed to be doing,” she told The Guardian. ;“But I grew up, and I have seen these issues, and I have become very passionate about it. I am a former slut-shamer and a newfound feminist.”
She reminded the interviewer that when people slut-shame women it’s simply a sign that they’re uncomfortable with women’s sexuality in general. ;
“I’ve been called a slut while I was still a virgin. I have been called a slut while I was in a committed relationship with my husband,” she said. “So it really doesn’t matter what you do in life, people can call you that name because they are uncomfortable with your sexuality. That’s all it is.”
Here’s to ;all genders joining the feminist movement and to every woman owning her sexuality. Yes, yes, yes Amber. ;
