It’s unfortunate that artists and film stars are hesitant to identify themselves as feminists but I don’t think that makes them anti-feminists.

On Lily Allen’s case, I love her music and her lyrics. It would be comfortingt to hear her express herself as a proud feminist, but one can only hope… Listen to “Not Fair.” Great song about a topic women are rarely allowed to talk about!

I think Lily wrote the Fear to raise awareness in a geniusly blunt way. I have no doubts about her being a Feminist, in one way or another. She reminds me of Emilie Autumn with her sarcasm and raw adittude. By the way, I came across your site in a News update site. It automatically lured my eyes. Speaking of which Have you heard of what’s happening with women in Iran?!

Love her.

I think the very fact that she doesn’t state “I am a feminist” makes her message stronger — not to mention more palatable to the general audience that doesn’t like feeling like they’re being preached at.
