Reese Witherspoon Shares 3 Reasons Why She’s a Feminist

(upbeat pop music)

My mom and my grandmother were both feminists,

and they fought so hard to just have the rights

and the privileges that we now, as women, have.

All over the world, I think it's important to be aware

that women are always fighting to just maintain

the rights that they have.

A big part of when I read Cheryl Strayed's book Wild,

was how she dealt with her own sexuality.

And kind of gave herself an opportunity forgive herself.

Every choice and decision that you make, bad, good,

right or wrong, it's part of your life.

And it's part of defining who you are,

and building character, and becoming the woman

that you want to be.

I don't really understand why a woman wouldn't

feel like she deserved equality.

Equal pay, equal rights.

We need to just, not only maintain the status quo,

but I think we need to push forward and really

continue the good fight for equality.

For people everywhere.
