10 Famous Feminist Men

The face of feminism isn't always female. These men understand the importance of having women as their equals rather than their inferiors. All men (and women), please take notice. #HeForShe

10 Famous Feminist Men

1. John Legend

"All men should be feminists. If men care about women's rights the world will be a better place. We are better off when women are empowered, it leads to a better society."


All of me loves all of you for this, John.


2. Ryan Gosling

"It's misogynistic in nature to try and control a woman's sexual presentation of self."

Thanks, Ryan.


3. Prince Harry

"When women are empowered, they immeasurably improve the lives of everyone around them – their families, their communities, and their countries. This is not just about women, we men need to recognize the part we play, too."


Yes, even the Prince of the United Kingdom is a feminist.


4. Joss Whedon

"I think it also goes back to my father and my stepfather, because they prized wit and resolve in the women they were with above all things, and they were among the rare men who understood that recognizing someone else's power doesn't diminish your own."


If you do not know who Joss Whedon is, he wrote and directed the last two "Avengers" movies.


5. Joseph Gordon-Levitt

"There were some people that were saying that feminism made sense in the past but it doesn't anymore because men and women are equal now. I'm no expert, but I think the facts are pretty contrary to this. There are still plenty of tensions and unfair situations that arise more so for women than for men."

JGL you make me smile.

6. Jon Hamm

"I'm down with the strong ladies.” He is also very aware of how his hit show "Mad Men" has affected sexism.

Jon is nothing like Don.


7. Andy Samberg

"It’s crazy. Since there have been men and women, there have been funny women. Men keep saying that women aren't funny. It makes me crazy. I find it disgusting and offensive every time."

...supporting women.


8. Mark Ruffalo

“My own mother fought to make herself more than a possession, she lived her life as a mother who chose when she would have children, and as a wife who could earn a living if she so chose. I want my daughters to enjoy that same choice.”

When the Hulk finds out you are not a feminist.


9. Daniel Radcliffe

"I think anyone who isn’t [a feminist] at this point is swimming against the tide, just like people who are vaguely homophobic or racist or sexist or whatever it is. I just think 'God, you’re still keeping that up? Give it up, you’ve lost.'”


Harry Potter: The Boy Who Supported Equal Rights For Women.


10. Steve Carrell

Steve wore He For She cufflinks, designed by Emma Watson, on the Oscar red carpet.


Celebratory dance party for these awesome guys.

Bonus: The Dalai Lama

With each new year comes new goals.

Deciding on a goal can be hard, unsure of what to change for this new year. A new goal for myself is to be happier and take care of myself more. I am a very driven person; so driven that I commit to a million and ten things.

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.
