AMERICA COULD USE A FEW MORE RYAN GOSLINGS

It’s about time! It took Ryan Gosling declaring the superiority of women to start the discussion going. His honesty – and modesty for a man – is refreshing and very surprising. Ryan was raised in a household of women and he and his girlfriend Eva Mendes have two daughters. He noted that his daughters’ developmental stages far exceeded boys. “I think women are better than men. They are stronger. More evolved. I grew up with women and I’ve always been aware of it.” To our delight, he added “Women are better than men – they make ME better.” And Ryan wants a woman in the White House – “I think America needs a woman’s touch!”

Cannes Feminist Rose McGowan

ROSE MCGOWAN KNOWS WHAT SHE’S TALKING ABOUT

Nothing gets past our favorite feminist Rose McGowan. Just three of the 20 films selected for the Cannes Film Festival were directed by women. The festival director said “Don’t blame us “ – implying that the problem is rooted in Hollywood. But Rose isn’t letting them off the hook. She told The Hollywood Reporter “Those 17 who are not women should be forced to walk down the red carpet in high heels!” (Remember the appalling controversy last year in Cannes when women were not PERMITTED on the red carpet in flat shoes!) Rose says “There are so many levels of embedded misogyny that people don’t even realize. It starts with ‘You HAVE to wear high heels’ and goes to ‘We don’t accept you as a filmmaker.’” Hey Rose, when you’re RIGHT, you’re RIGHT…

Feminist Hillary Clinton Katy Perry

KATY PERRY IS NOT AS BOLD AS SHE WANTS US TO THINK

Katy Perry donned her handmade “HILLARY CLINTON IS A BAD ASS” t –shirt to entertain at a Hillary Clinton fundraiser at Radio City Music Hall in New York. Katy, 31, is a huge supporter of Cinton, but she’s almost APOLOGETIC about it. She waffles “I’m not voting for her because she’s a woman, I’m voting for her because she’s the right person for the job.” We wonder why Katy (and many women her age) are reluctant to declare they are feminists and want to elect the first female president. (Fear of disapproval?) Being qualified and being a woman are TWO good reasons to vote for Hillary. Being female will be an ASSET for our next president.

Feminist Geena Davis

GEENA DAVIS COULD LOOK YOUNG FOREVER

The best way to stay young in Hollywood is to marry a plastic surgeon! The Thelma & Louise star married Dr Reza Jarrahy in 2001 and they have a daughter, 13, and twin sons, 11. When she’s not acting, we’re happy to say that Geena, 59, spends her time campaigning for equal pay for women in Hollywood. She also funded a study revealing that in PG kids movies – there are 3 boys to each girl featured, and the female roles are stereotypically passive. Geena’s pushing for female equality in all areas. It’s sweet that The 6 ft Geena is trying not to look quite so tall next to her husband.

Davey Detail Feminist Rose McGowan

ROSE MCGOWAN TELLS YOU WHAT SHE THINKS

Rose McGowan has always had a strong personality and doesn’t hesitate to speak her mind. We love that she’s a feminist and complained that gays aren’t as supportive of women’s rights as they should be. After all, women have always been hugely supportive of gays. She thinks gays are more misogynistic than straight men and she might have a point. Rose was once engaged to Marilyn Manson, but ended up marrying artist Davey Detail two years ago. Above, Davey couldn’t take his eyes off his phone as the pair strolled around Tribeca in New York.

Bill Cosby Camille Cosby Feminist Guilty Judd Apatow Phylicia Rashad Whoopi Goldberg

OUR FAVORITE MALE FEMINIST: JUDD APATOW

Judd Apatow seems to be the only famous guy in Hollywood coming out STRONG against Bill Cosby, and we love him for it. Not only is he criticizing Whoopi Goldberg for her “he’s innocent until proven guilty” stance in spite of Cosby’s OWN confession. Apatow is also calling out Bill’s wife of over 50 years, Camille Cosby, AND Bill’s TV wife Phylicia Rashad , who have been totally supportive of Cosby and don’t believe the 40 female accusers. Apparently Cosby and his wife have some sort of Clinton agreement between them, but she should remain silent instead of making a fool of herself. We can’t figure out why Phylicia would embarrass herself by supporting Cosby. But Judd IS a feminist dream.

Feminist Marco Perego Zoe Saldana

ZOE SALDANA TELLS IT LIKE IT IS

Another reason to love Zoe Saldana. She picked the right man to marry. Her progressive husband Marco Perego announced proudly that he has taken his wife’s last name. Perhaps emboldened by her supportive feminist husband, Zoe, who recently gave birth to twins, took the time to point out the fact that pregnant women are not welcome in Hollywood. Actresses with children are rarely offered child care or nannies when working, while men get all kinds of perks – like penthouses, jets, and bodyguards. Keep up the good work, Zoe.

Feminist Gloria Steinem Marisa Tomei

MARISA TOMEI IS PLAYING GLORIA STEINEM FOR HBO

Now THIS is good news! We’ve been bombarded with biographies of MEN lately (The Theory of Everything, The Imitation Game, American Sniper, etc) and we’ve been WISHING that someone would document Gloria Steinem’s life on film. (She IS one of our idols.) Turns out, HBO is prepping a miniseries, appropriately called “Ms.” and Marisa Tomei will star as Gloria. Perfect casting – beautiful, smart, and likeable. Best of all, Gloria will serve as consultant on the series. She inspired a lot of women and we have never forgotten her quote “We’ve become the men we wanted to marry!”
(Above Marisa Tomei and Daniel Radcliffe filmed a scene for “Trainwreck” surrounded by poodles in a park in NYC.)

Equal Rights Feminist Gloria Steinem Kathy Griffin

GLORIA STEINEM: “WE’VE BECOME THE MEN WE WANTED TO MARRY”

We’ve admired and idolized the brilliant Gloria Steinem for what seems like forever and not many photos of her come along these days. Of course she would show up at the Make Equality Reality event in Beverly Hills – supporting women’s rights around the world. It’s a never ending battle. Feminist Gloria has always been an inspiration to women and has done more to enlighten them than any other person in recent history. Nice to see that Kathy Griffin is in agreement.

Andrew Dice Clay Feminist The Adventurers of Ford Fairlane Woman-hater Women

ANDREW DICE CLAY: SORRY, BUT YOU DUG YOUR OWN GRAVE !

Photo: 20th Century Fox
In his new book, Andrew Dice Clay claims that protesters (feminists) killed his movie “The Adventures of Ford Fairlane,” and probably his career. But we are here to tell Clay that he DID go too far in his attacks on women. We happened to be fans of Clay and when we got tickets to see him perform at The Hollywood Bowl (around 1990?) we were excited. When we arrived with our friend Belissa, we were amused to see that the audience was mostly guys – very few women. When the Diceman started his act, it became clear WHY women were scarce. He went into horrible, unspeakable rants about ex-girlfriends and suddenly it wasn’t funny, it was scary. The men in the crowd were drinking and cheering on the female bashing! The audience became SO raucous and vulgar – like wild animals- that we sneaked out early, fearing for our safety. Clay‘s fans took his insults SERIOUSLY and seemed ready to attack the first woman they saw! It’s too bad Andrew didn’t see the damage his over-the-top female–bashing did, and adjust his act before it hurt his movie and career. That’s OUR side of the story.
