Ellen Page är skådisen som slog igenom med filmen Juno 2007. Hon har varit med i andra superba filmer som Inception, Whip it, X-Men och Hard Candy. Jag älskar Ellen Page, hon är rolig, cool och en bra skådis. Hon är givetvis feminist, som alla andra smarta på denna planet, och nyligen kommenterade Page porrbranschen och menade på att feministisk porr är avgörande för jämställdheten. Här är andra intressanta uttalanden:

”I call myself a feminist when people ask me if I am, and of course I am ‘cause it’s about equality, so I hope everyone is. You know you’re working in a patriarchal society when the word feminist has a weird connotation.”

– Hear! HEAR! Skrev ju nyligen om ordet feminist och varför vi ska kalla oss feminister och inte något annat.

“I am a feminist and I am totally pro-choice, but what’s funny is when you say that people assume that you are pro-abortion. I don’t love abortion but I want women to be able to choose and I don’t want white dudes in an office being able to make laws on things like this. I mean what are we going to do – go back to clothes hangers?”

”If there’s a movie starring a man that tanks, then I don’t see an article about the fact that the movie starred a man and that must be why it bombed. Then a film comes out where a woman is in the lead, or a movie comes out where a bunch of girls are roller derbying, and it doesn’t make much money and you see articles about how women can’t carry a film.”

– Om hur filmer som skapas av tjejer blir ansedda som ”tjejfilmer” och anses inte kunna leva upp till standard.

“I hate to admit it but, yeah. I definitely feel more of a sense of personal insecurity. I really try and smarten up when I feel that way but sometimes it does get to me. The fact is, young girls are bombarded by advertisements and magazines full of delusional expectations that encourage people to like themselves less and then they want to buy more things. It is really sad and it encourages the consumerist cycle. Boys used to have it slightly easier but I think they are now getting more of the same kind of pressure. Look at all the guys in junior high who think they should have a six-pack.”
