This is Feminism. Advocacy for women rights on the grounds of social, economic, and political equality to men. It grates my nerves every time I hear a woman say they aren’t a feminist, it’s something I can’t comprehend. Why wouldn’t you demand equality or at least support it?

Charlize Theron found out, because of the Sony Hack, that Chris Hemsworth was going to be making 10 million dollars more than she was for The Huntsman. She then negotiated a better deal and got a raise. Well done!

Honestly who is there bigger draw here? For me, Charlize Theron, hands down. Good move on Theron’s part and a great example for us all. We as women need to stand up for ourselves, we need to be unapologetic about what we are worth because we are equally as smart, equally as capable, and equally human.
