Interview on Feminism and Other Problems With Addie Lovell and Olivia Foote

1.) Question-When a guy calls a girl a slut because of their clothes what does it make you feel/think?

Addie Lovell-
It makes me feel that guys have no place to slut shame a girl because of their clothes. It makes me feel that annoyed when a guy takes his shirt off or reveals his body it's considered "sexy" and okay because he has nothing to hide, but when a girl shows cleavage, for example, she's considered a slut or a whore. And it doesn't determine a girls' worth

2.) Question- Why is it important for all genders to be equal?

Olivia Foote- Because it's 2014 and women still don't have the same rights as men and thats what I fight for, and what I stand for. Also, I get really pissed off that when a girl goes out with a lot of guys, she's considered a slut or a whore, but when guys go out with a lot of girls they are considered cool and "players". That is wrong in so many ways

3.)Question- Why are you a feminist? 

Addie Lovell-Because women and girls are still slut shames and called out on the streets or wherever for their clothes, because women are "worth" 23 cents to a mans dollar, because abortion isn't a given but if a women has babies young than they are called slut, because men/boys think it's okay to pressure them into having sex and all this unfairness needs to stop.

Olivia Foote- (Said roughly the same things as Addie except this one point)
… Because it makes me angry that me that when men get upset when a women decides she wants to have an abortion because she can't take care of her babies. And when they think that they are being selfish.  It's not their choice because they are not growing a baby inside of them. They need to be smart and ask themselves this question, Would you rather have a baby that you can't afford, look after, and give it A DECENT GOOD LIFE, or would you rather terminate the baby for it's own good!
