In a world that seldom takes women seriously, Kristen Stewart has often proved herself an untiring warrior for their rights. Here are some examples.
"There's a certain way of navigating communication that a woman has to do a certain amount of placating and kind of messaging personalities. We can't be as loud because then we come across as sort of abrasive whereas a guy can be extremely assertive and not be called a b***h," she told Pinkvilla in 2019.
"Women really admire each other in a way that men do not, and the whole male gaze thing versus seeing each other through our own lenses does not in any way bring sexuality into it," another quote reads. It is indeed cool to reclaim that idea of beauty and not necessarily tie it to who you want to sleep with or who you have a crush on.
"I'm expected to present myself in a certain way because I'm a public figure, but it's hard and you'll never be able to tell people who you are through the media. If you're a strong woman, you're just, for lack of a better word, a b***h," she reiterated. True, it is much easier for a man to say what he wants and not always be cute and funny.
