Can you match the pop artist to their stance on feminism?
  
  


  1. Who seemed a little confused about the definition of feminism when they said this: “A feminist? Er, yeah actually. I used to not really understand what that word meant, and now that I do it just means I love myself as a female and I also love men. So, sure!”

    1. Jessie J

    2. Christina Aguilera

    3. Katy Perry

  2. “But I guess I am a modern-day feminist. I do believe in equality. Why do you have to choose what type of woman you are? Why do you have to label yourself anything? I’m just a woman and I love being a woman.” – Who said this to British Vogue?

    1. Beyoncé

    2. Adele

    3. Cheryl Cole

  3. Who surprised some of their fans with this stance? “I've always shied away from the word ‘feminism,’ only because I think, to truly be feminist, it's a word that's unnecessary. I don't have to stamp it on my forehead or pass out T-shirts to prove that I'm happy to be a woman, or that I feel like I deserve equal rights.” <img src="http://upw-prod-images.global.ssl.fastly.net/nugget/53fb6230019157664b00002c/attachments/500-e0138a13e7eb791e39c6f096951c90cf.gif" width="460" height="276"/>

    1. Kelis

    2. Rihanna

    3. Joni Mitchell

  4. “I feel like I'm one of the biggest feminists in the world because I tell women to not be scared of anything … For me, it’s not even that I’m a feminist: I’m for anybody, I’m for everybody.” – Which star said this, after her sexually-charged MTV award show performance?

    1. Britney Spears

    2. Miley Cyrus

    3. Madonna

  5. Who sidestepped calling themselves a feminist, in this quote? “It’s a tricky one. I mean, women should have equal rights in everything – of course they should – but the rest is a minefield. I think it’s important to try and celebrate my femininity, but that’s not for everybody.”

    1. Taylor Swift

    2. Nicki Minaj

    3. Kylie Minogue

  6. Which musician voiced this academic and detailed view on feminism? “Thinking about not just feminism but transnational feminism, post-colonial feminism, intersectionality, everything, everything, everything – I think it’s mind-blowing. It’s really fucking exciting, because I definitely remember a time where I felt like you almost weren’t allowed to talk about it.”

    1. Amanda Palmer

    2. Planningtorock

    3. Karen O of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs

  7. “I’m not a feminist. I hail men, I love men. I celebrate American male culture: beer and bars and muscle cars.” – Who expressed this firmly non-feminist perspective? <img src="http://images.huffingtonpost.com/2014-03-13-tumblr_mlkdmmkrCE1qj4315o1_500-thumb.gif" width="460" height="276"/>

  8. Which Spice Girl worried that this quote would end up as a headline? "It's about labelling. For me feminism is bra-burning lesbianism. It's very unglamorous. I'd like to see it rebranded. We need to see a celebration of our femininity and softness."

    2. Victoria Beckham

    2. Charli XCX

    3. Lily Allen
