Chloë Grace Moretz has never shied away from saying how she really feels about a subject, whether it’s weighing in on Kim Kardashian’s nude selfie, or making it clear that squads are overrated. Now, the young actress is speaking out about feminism, and why she thinks that many people tend to be hesitant to identify as a feminist—or even openly discuss the subject.
During a recent appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Chloë was asked about her outspoken stance on feminism and why she thinks that young people are afraid to label themselves as feminists. “The word’s become incredibly polarizing lately and I don’t really know why. I talked to a lot of young women during the caucusing time and a lot of them were really scared to admit that they were feminists,” Chloë shared, referencing her recent time spent across the U.S. in support of Hillary Clinton.
“I think that we need to get to a point where it’s more about gender neutrality and less about just feminism, and just raising one particular sect. I think we need to make it more neutral, because I think the word’s become demonized a little bit,” she added.
We completely agree with Chloë, and applaud her for always talking so openly about topics that she feels strongly about!
