Cute teen who you’re definitely not sick of hearing about because you’re reading this sentence right now, Lorde Yellich O’Connor, has used Tumblr for its SFW intended purpose and posted her thoughts in response to model and Terry Richardson apologist Charlotte Free’s assertion that a belief in the equality of the sexes is this season’s hottest accessory. When everyone knows that’s a Fendi fur monster bag charm #smdh
“[What’s] up with feminism suddenly being this seasons hottest accessory???” Free asked the universe. “[First], feminism has always been cool, regardless of being “in style” or not. second, i really hope it doesn’t turn out like other trends and go “out of style” or something stupid like that … feminism is not an accessory or a phase u can grow out of
dont get me wrong, im way stoked that more people are admitting to be, or becoming feminists but i wish it didnt take it being “trendy” to get where we are now” [sic].
To which Lorde responded of her own accord with a maturity belying her years, “maybe feminism feeling like it’s in style comes as a result of increased awareness… which i think is a good thing regardless of whether or not it feels ‘trendy’ (which you’re right is rl weird). i definitely don’t think feminism is going to ~go out~ or anything, i feel like we’re past that now x”
Earlier today, Beyoncé shared her thoughts on feminism in a brief essay titled ‘Gender Equality Is A Myth!’ which demands for women the same rights and opportunities afforded men by virtue of their being born with a peen. You can read the rest here.
Lorde’s aptly-titled debut album ‘Pure Heroine’ is nominated for four awards and she’ll perform at this year’s Grammys, taking place January 26th.
